What's New? Political Corruption in Illinois

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was awoken this morning at 6 a.m. by the FBI.

What did he do? He was only looking out for his best interest. He was only selling the US Senate seat to the highest bidder. It was just another pay-to-play. Oh, and he did threaten the Chicago Tribune. And, he got benefits for himself and his wife from state contracts. This is nothing.

You know I'm joking, but really this is no joke. This man is a crook. He's worse than his predecessor, Gov. Ryan.

The Ten Commandments and The Greatest Commandment

1. I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

³⁶"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" ³⁷Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' ³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' ⁴⁰All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." (Matthew 22:36-40 NIV)
