Governor Rod Blagojevich, Illinois (soon to be Ex-gov.)If we had known how much of a disadvantage it would be to move to Oregon we would have made a different choice eight years ago. If we had chosen Illinois instead of the West Coast we could have bid on the Senate seat vacated by Barak Obama. Oregon is a fairly progressive state, but I have not seen any seats in the U.S. Congress for sale recently, although I have not checked EBay. I guess if there was anything to bid on in Oregon it would be plastered on the Internet because we are so progressive here.
Feeling left out here in the Northwest, we are going to petition our legislature to apply for extra Federal assistance to compensate for the lack of opportunity here. This would go a long way toward supplementing the Federal payments we receive for the timber we do not cut because of all of the restrictions Congress has placed on such ventures. I gotta say that Senator Edmonson sounds mighty fine to me and would make my family really proud, especially if we did not have to bother with actually getting any votes. Just paying a lump sum for the privilege would probably be a whole lot cheaper than actually campaigning and all of the other stuff you gotta do for it in normal circumstances.
But we will just settle for some money in the old pocketbook direct from the U.S, Treasury, as compensation for our disadvantage. This is an especially good idea because then we would not have to worry about the FBI or spending any time in a cell if people did not like the alternative of purchasing a Senate seat. We have a quorum? All those in favor.........
