Prosecutors question Blago about convicted fundraiser Rezko

Like I said already I haven't really paid attention to our Ousted governor's retrial since it commenced. I just got to say this part of the trial which was before federal prosecutors cross-examined Blago was just bizzarre:

Defense lawyers are trying to thread a needle in their questioning of Rod Blagojevich, portraying him as at times extremely shrewd and at other times a loose cannon when plotting strategy to appoint a successor to Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate.

“Did you discuss the idea of appointing yourself (to the Senate) and going to Afghanistan to hunt down Osama Bin Laden?” Blagojevich was asked by his attorney, Aaron Goldstein.

Blagojevich managed to answer yes before prosecutors could object and U.S. District Judge James Zagel sustained the objection. But the point was made for jurors: Blagojevich often rambled about ridiculous things when discussing the Senate vacancy.

Well that's what I wanted to get at in this post. As far as reading what happened at Federal Court in downtown Chicago, I need some time to digest this looooong report from the Tribune!

Doctor Offers Sex Changes For Kids

From The News Junkie!

To be entirely blunt people who think that they're a man in a woman's body or a woman in a man's body have issues. I would totally be horrified if they attempted to turn their bodies into something they're not. Unfortunately it doesn't stop there.

There are stories where kids have been diagnosed with this problem and then they are allowed to indulge. There was a story with a boy going to school as a girl. For some reason I thought that was odd and I wonder where are the parents in this.

As much as I think this type of activity is strange and certainly I have no problem with a person determining who they are and their place in the world why subject children to this when they have yet to figure this out. A child who thinks that they're a girl in a man's body certainly will change their mind on that at a certain age. It would certainly be a mistake for a parent to say yes to a sex change let alone allow a child to indulge in cross dressing behavior by claiming to be a girl trapped in a boy's body.

At times I wonder what's wrong with people when they come up with these types of ideas!

I apologize if this story offends I try not to blog about these stories often and that will certainly become a general policy around these parts. Thank you!
