As to the name, blago innocence project. I would not be surprised to hear our esteemed hairdo, err governor, proclaim that some small innocence project from some less than prestigious university, had taken on his case.
i decided to start writing this blog because I write for a living, sometimes actually writing stuff that matters.
People ask me what I do for a living, and when I say I write resolutions for the Illinois House and Senate, their next question is "what's a resolution?"
And then I explain death, task force, congratulatory, and the other assorted resolutions to them.
And then I tell them that occasionally these resolutions do make a difference.
Like the infamous Horand Von Merblick resolution, welcoming a three year old police dog to the community of Westchester. Or the one congratulating second or third place teams in state championships. (We used to call them losers when I was a kid, now we give them resolutions)
But I do good once in a while. Like the death resolution for State Representative Wyvetter Younge, a truly concerned State rep that I really liked. Or the retirement resolutions for the Capitol Nurse or Sue Staley. I think I do good on occasion.
Stick around for more.
and remember...I am not the junior senator from Illinois.
