Dec. 17, 2008 - Forgiveness
Much is being made of my current governor. No one from IL is "shocked" by this corruption, much as the nation professes to be. This is the way IL works.
I'm more interested in our last governor, Ryan (R), who sits in prison. Durbin wants him pardoned. Ryan took bribes to issue trucking licenses while he was IL Sec of State. When one of those unqualified truckers smashed into a van of a homeschooling family, burning all six children alive, Ryan quashed the investigation of the matter.
John Kass, whom everyone should be paying attention to as the only reporter on the national scene who truly understands Chicago and the milieu from which Obama emerged, spoke with the parents of the murdered children.
It's a profoundly thoughtful piece on forgiveness, I think. You can read it here:
