Being back in my old haunts in the Windy City, which currently is the center of the political universe, reminds me just how much of a crazy farce politics can be.
Yesterday's news of Blagojeveich's appointment of Roland Burris to Obama's Senate seat was met with general good old fashioned Chicago derison and mocking. Most folks I'm talking to treat it as a sideshow and are not surprised by Blago's brazen stupidity and cluelessness.
Of course that belies the seriousness of the issue. But then that's Chicago for you.
