    ‘Some die eloquent, pressed to death
    By the sliding trench as their friends can hear
    Some die wholly in half a breath.
    Some–give trouble for half a year.

    “There is neither Evil nor Good in life
    Except as the needs of the State ordain.’

    I think that about covers it.”

  27. Patty said that Rahm and Barack called and are thanking me for my help. They knew that “everything that I did was for the people of Illinois”. Patty said that I can expect to get a note later from Pat Fitzgerald saying that he really admired me and that he was sorry for our misunderstanding. So you see, everyone actually loves and appreciates all that Patty and I have done for the people of Illinois. History will show that.

  58. A rip on Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Ozymandias”:

    ROD BLAGOJEVICH

    I met a man from Illinois
    Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the prairie. Near them in the grass,
    Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
    And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
    And on the pedestal these words appear:
    `My name is Rod Blagojevich, Governor of Governors:
    Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal wreck, verdant and lush,
    The undulating fields stretch far away”.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said that his biggest surprise upon taking office was learning that things were actually as bad as he had been saying they were… a system of corruption that has been too commonplace, too accepted, and too entrenched… As it is said in the Proverbs, ‘man is filled with good things – as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.’” (R.R.B. Inaugural Speech, 2003)
