"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

The Arrest of Gov. Blagojevich

It is still very early to develop or offer any comprehensive opinion on the arrest this morning of Gov. Ron Blagojevich, Democrat of Illinois. But I can't help but sadly marvel at not only the laundry list of crimes he is alleged to have committed but also his base audacity in the perpetuation of them. For years now he has been under scrutiny for corruption, which a reasonable person might assume would deter him from further criminal commission.

On the contrary, his sewer Chicago politics has continued apace, with the governor wasting no opportunity to use his public trust for personal profit. Not only is this incredibly despicable, but incredibly stupid.
