Five more things make another post

[ksmith]

1) Hour and a half massage this evening. Lovely.

2) Leftover chicken for dinner, with gravy made from the stock, leftover sweet potatoes, and the cranberry relish I made a couple of months ago. The stuff's good for two months, so it should be ok. Sure did taste good.

3) Watching Rachel Maddow discuss her interview with Blago. Did he incriminate himself?

4) Working on goals at work. *gah*

5) New cookbook arrived. Wlliams-Sonoma's "Essentials of Slow Cooking."

I know that when the news first broke, there was concern that Fitzgerald had to move faster than he wanted to in order to prevent Blago from appointing a senator via one of his quid pro quo deals, and that maybe the criminal case wasn't as strong as it needed to be to insure conviction. I've even seen a few op-ed pieces in the paper discussing whether Blago had actually broken any law. Getting him out of office may be the best that can be done. His legal bills so far are astronomical and both he and his wife unemployed and likely unemployable for the foreseeable future. Imprisonment would be the coup de grace, but the bulk of the damage has, I think, pretty much been done. In contrast to Ryan's case, there are no deaths that can be attributed to Blago's actions or inactions, so the press for prison may be less.
