That Blagojevich has done something like this is bad enough …
But does he take a minute to consider the damage he's done thus, stepping down with the appropriate humble attitude required of a man caught in such a situation (i.e. a CRIME)?
No.
He waves at reporters as they push forward trying to get a line on what the governor's plans are considering the mess he's caused …
He waves.
As if it's just another day …
As if he's thinking, “Oh man! Doesn't my suit and hair look divine?”
My thoughts: He is PATHETIC.
I remember a story you told once Doc … about this fellow who was given an amazing Godmother …Lady Death …and she, in turn, gave him the gift of healing.
He abused the gift given to him in order to secure riches and a better life for himself ..
In the end, he dies due to his abuse of his gift …
I remember the last line ….
“Because you cannot cheat death, nor are you supposed to try.”
Well ..
“Gov. Blagojevich couldn't cheat the people, nor was he supposed to try.”
We'll see how he ends up but I doubt it will be psychologically much different than the young healer in the story, “La Calavera.”

Thank you for your post Doc!

P.S. Sorry if I simplified a the much deeper message contained in “La Calavera” but sometimes I find many things related on numerous levels and this was one of them. :)
Thanks again.

There is new brain research which indicates the ego is due to a small patch of renegade brain cells located near the speech center and it's take over is presently evolving towards non- viability of humankind?. . .

Perhaps both. . . and this is an anthropological throwback mixed with over proliferation of renegade brain cells. . .which ever. . .looks like it will land him behind bars. . .prison or zoo?. . .hmmm. . .
