The Acting Governor

—A Report from the Blagojevich Circus

(View ...)

This fellow could have bought a nice piece of land or a mid-size car with the dollars he pulled in, but there was little doubt where that money was going: first into his stomach, next towards the purchase of a ticket, then into his gas tank and on to the next show.

In the case of both Sanborn and James, we have a lost man settled only on uncertainty. The center doesn't hold.

The hum of uncertainty, the sound of the world cracking, returned: it was as when the Challenger had exploded, when O.J. had ridden in his white Bronco, when Princess Di had been extinguished like a candle in the wind. They recalled September 11.

Please pack for the summer home where you will meet Dorothee Deiss.
