Hubris in Illinois

Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich Chicago ordered state health officials to spend $10 million to stem-cell research on Tuesday, an appropriation that has been repeatedly voted down by the Illinois legislature.

"'While we are forced to live in a democracy with several branches of government, sometimes in a democracy the process is frustratingly slow,' Blagojevich said."

Yes, King Rod, thank you for allowing your subjects the illusion of government by consent. But as a point of information, you are not "forced to live in a democracy." We are blessed to live in a country with an extremely liberal emmigration policy. Feel free to check into it.
