Plainfield is the saddest place in Illinois. I had the displeasure of driving out to see my friends perform at something called "Live 59" which was, without a doubt, the worst music venue I've been to. It was so bad that they wrote an entire song about it.

[QUOTE]Bost said his frustration was a long time coming. The tipping point came as lawmakers prepared to vote on a contentious plan to overhaul the state's overburdened pension system, and Democrats used a 1995 rule to block debate or amendments. Bost, from Murphysboro in southern Illinois, erupted.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]He acknowledged voting in 1995 in favor of the rule used to block debate, which was sponsored by Republicans. Bost now says he didn't fully understand it and called his vote a mistake.[/QUOTE]

Well, you certainly shot yourself in the foot now, didn't you?

Because Illinois is overwhelmingly run by democrats who are... less ethical than we would like. It's like liberal Texas.
