HA! Actually, I've said more than once that I am so comfy living in Illinois because the politics and sometimes the infrastructure remind me so much of Russia! In fact, I almost posted on that yesterday but thought it might be offensive. :-)

Ironic that his last name includes the root "blag," isn't is?

Well, he is also "mil" and "rad".
I'm kinda sad that the most famous corrupt American official is my fellow Orthodox (don't know how religious he is), at least by birth. Send very wrong message.
