Gordon Liddy! Point one, talk about Apples and Oranges. I don't remember G. Gordon conspiring to blow up Americans, but I do remember him going to jail for following orders he should have been smart enough to refuse to follow. Point two, I'm pretty sure I was still wearing short pants when my parents taught me that "everyone is doing it," didn't make it right.

Point one, talk about Apples and Oranges. I don’t remember G. Gordon conspiring to blow up Americans, but I do remember him going to jail for following orders he should have been smart enough to refuse to follow.

Point two, I’m pretty sure I was still wearing short pants when my parents taught me that “everyone is doing it,” didn’t make it right.

That could have been your Pulitzer moment. Huge. I'm talking HUGE. Turn the light on those Daley machine cockroaches! At least git yerself one of them thar newfangled cell phone contraptions with a built in camera. The newer ones are getting pretty good and you can get a MoBlog going by just posting right from your handheld. Flatlander,

There was a big orange Illinois Department of Transportation truck with a stack of campaign signs piled in the back. As I pulled alongside I could see they were a stack of McCain/Palin signs in "slightly used" condition. By the look of things this crew was driving around pulling out McCain/Palin signs on government time! It was one of those moments when I wished I'd had a camera and a couple of hours to follow those guys around! Not that it would have made any difference here in the People's Republic of Northern Illinois...
