ROLL AUDITION TAPE Blago will flack for cash. Soon-to-be ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich is flacking himself as spokesman for erectile dysfunction products.
BEFORE LEVITRA
" As a three-time Chicago Congressman and two-time Chicago Governor
I can personally testify to the heartbreak of erectile dysfunction."
" I'll be honest with you, folks---at no time during my years in Chicago politics
have I ever seen a Chicago Democrat take a hitch on his crotch."
" That includes Cong Jesse ('Purity-personified') Jackson Jr,
and the Undefiled One.....the poor limp suckers"
AFTER LEVITRA
" If I get the Levitra gig, I will handout this great product at
the next Chicago Democratic convention........in lieu of cash."
“Something big” in the private sector for Gov Rod? -----with that "boyish personality" he's perfect for:
(1) Wal-Mart greeter
(2) Home Depot paint mixer
(3) McD's ketchup pumper
(4) waiter at Red Lobster
LMAO, now thats funny right there...LOL
How about a garbage truck driver.
Let’s not be insulting to all the sanitation workers out there ... they have to deal with enough things that smell bad.
Uh, I grew up in an area of Chicago that is predominately Croatian and Serbian. They didn't use deodorant back then. I wonder if Blago does. Maybe he can sell "Axe" products for men.
His Punishment and how fitting: he will dress as Diogenes, complete with Lantern and go throughout Illinois and the rest of the forty-nine states and say: I am looking for an honest man./Just Asking - seoul62......
I believe that he would be perfect for license plate press operator. And it does not matter if you are a felon.
or just the guy who cleans the bird poop out of Cuckoo clocks...
"You got a point there. No wonder they wouldn't let me speak at the Dem convention."
" I been in Congress 13 years. My 2007 earmarks totaled $231,000 just to June.
There's plenty more where that came from IF they make me Senator.
I also told them guys to dump all the unsold Obama DVD's and to start
pushing my poster."
"Pure as the driven snow.......no one in Chicago even comes close."
Or maybe the cuckoo IN the clock.
You should all be ashamed of yourself for thinking this is (shudder) official bribery.
(Sniffle) The beauty part of this is that these individuals are so altruistic (sob) so pure and UNDEFILED, that they expect NOTHING in return.
Did you all not see JJJ tell the world that he, himself, is "purity personified?"
Quick, somebody gimme a kleenex........(bawl)....
I grew up on 98th Manistee how about you?
Pigs in a blanket. Kako !
Here's a Croat recipe: Potato Dumplings made w/ instant potato flakes

VARIATION Or serve w/ any pasta sauce: fresh, light tomato sauce; mushroom sauce; pesto or just butter and grated cheese. Can also add chop fresh or dried herbs, other seasonings to batter.
==================================
WHAT ARE THESE DISHES?
It's real easy. You roast a lamb and then take a bit of scallion when you take a bite of lamb. It's an awesome combination.
Now who can I find to make this?
| Grandma's Soup Recipes |
DUCK BLOOD SOUP
czarnina
Collect the blood of a freshly killed duck or goose and stir in 1/4 cup 6% vinegar. Seal and refrigerate until ready to use.
In pot combine duck or goose wings, neck, rump, heart, and gizzard with 8 cups cold water. Bring to boil, skimming off scum until no more forms, reduce heat and simmer 1 hr. Add several peppercorns, cloves, and allspice grains and 1/2 to 1 bay leaf plus the standard portion of soup greens and simmer another 1-1 1/2 hours or until meat easily comes away from bone.
Dice giblets, remove meat from bones, dice, and return to strained stock. The soup vegetables may be diced and returned to pot or used in another dish according to preference. Add about 2 cups dried fruit: prunes, apples, pears, raisins, and simmer another 15-20 minutes. Fork-blend 2-3 Tablespoons flour with blood & vinegar mixture, add about 1/2 cup stock 1 Tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly, then return to pot.
Season with salt, pepper, a pinch or 2 ground juniper berries (optional), sugar, and a bit more vinegar if needed to get a sweet, sour, winey flavor with subtly spicy undertones. Simmer gently several minutes and serve with egg noodles, noodle squares, grated-potato dumplings or cooked, diced potatoes.
I would go with them to the picnics at the Monastery, and
actually started to understand the Yugoslav language a little.
Living in Chicago and the surrounding areas, as you know,
sure allows a person to meet and get to know many ethnic
folks. Its something that we have that many don't have.
Might sound a little sappy, but I like to reminisce from time to time.
As a three-time Chicago Congressman and two-time Chicago GovernorLiz, that's a funny typo. The thing is its basically true.
Since that mutt was first elected in 2002 he hasn't spent one night in the Governor's Mansion in Springfield. Each day the legislature is in session, Gov. Blowdryavich FLIES back and forth from Chicago on the State Jet, and I mean every day. He also opened an official 'Governor's Office' in the Thompson Center (ugly state bldg) in Chicago and does 'work' (bribery apparenty) out of his near North Side home (mansion) for when the legislature isn't in session.That aside, back to your point -- "LEVITRA".And its not like IL is flush with money, we are basically broke - thanks to our last corrupt Gov. Convicted Felon George Ryan, (RINO-Fed Prison). Yet the costs for the Jet rides, the new office and staff meant nothing to this puke Blago. So him conspiring to solicit and commit bribery is no shock.
From listening to the tapes and reading the transcripts, it appears his potty-mouth wife Patti .... Already Takes It! It seems like she has a perpetual erection.
(After four hours she shudda called a Doctor.)

HI Neighbor :-)
Sort of, South side at least. 42nd St and S. Western Blvd (Brighton Park)
Though back in '64 I did have a girlfriend from close to your area. She lived East of Stony Island Ave, off of 95th St. (can't recall exactly where now). She was Blond, a real beauty and a Serb.
We met at a Jones Commercial HS (all girls then) 'Cotillion Dance'. I was there 'stag' and she actually hit on me :-) But we lived too far apart and it didn't last long.
How far east. We were about four miles east of Stony.
BTW, I went to Mt. Carmel which is just off of 63rd and Stony. (Isn't it MLK Drive or Ave. now?)
I went back to visit on Turkey day. It was nice except my mom went in for triple bypass and is still in recovery.
I had to go to Skyway Dog House and have a Vienna beef sandwich with hot giardinera. I can still taste it. The food around Chicago is amazing. Here in CT, they have Italian and some Americanized version of Italian. And, the pizza absolutely suck in CT. Don't let people tell you otherwise.
Ever go on Google Earth? I can go there and see my childhood home from street level as well as my grandmother's house.
Oh yeah, I know Mt Carmel well (fairly well anyway). There was one year in the early 60's when Mt Carmel played in the City HS Prep Bowel in old Soldier Field. It was filled, over 100,000, We were rooting for Mt Carmel and they won. Most of my friends and I went, or would go, to Kelly HS (public) and we (Kelly HS) stunk so we always rooted for the Catholic school to win.
No, Stony is still Stony Island Ave. It was was South Parkway Blvd they changed to MLK Drive.
And sorry to hear about your mom, how all is and will go well.
And YES, the one thing the crooked pols can't screwup in Chi is the Food.
Don't know Skyway Dog House, we had (in the old days) a stand called 'Rabbits' on 43rd & California. Another place for great dogs back around '65 was a stand on Polk & Western Ave (baaaaaaad neighborhood). A dog w/ everything, which meant topped w/ fries, was $.25, a Double was a dime more (some new neighbors moved into our apartment bldg that used to live around there). Those poor guys had to go to Crane Tech, they had to move due to safety reasons.
(sorry for the tardy response my typing stinks and our Lab 'puppy' is bugging me for attention)
You know in all seriousness this guy remonds me of someone but I just can’t put my finger on who it is ....
..
..Or, there was an actor from the seventies that he reminds me of.
Maybe he’s Blago’s Daddy ... Now that would be a real trip to the twilight zone!
My brother in law makes it for New Year's day every year. Most of the family loves it, but I am not Polish and haven't been able to bring myself to taste it :).
You should try it. It's really very tasty. If it's the blood that bothers you think about steaks, burgers and all other meats. They still have some blood in them.
