Pluto is a planet again

[Enchilada]

The only thing I actually know from the State of Illinois is gangster city of Chicago (mostly from Al Capone), American polluting industries, and of course the Blues Brothers (who, in turn, made infamous the Illinois Nazis.)

Next thing we will probably be hearing is that the State Legislators of Illinois has now declared the return of the Pluto as a planet just because of a "Mission from God" ?

NOTE : The one old joke I also remember is;

"The governors of Illinois and other key officials since 1818 serve four-year terms - yet for most of them, they have spent more than that in prison." *

* George Ryan in 2006 was the last being convicted for racketeering and bribery. Many stories of corruption and sexual solicitation have been noted. According to the 'Detroit News' in 2007, Illinois is the most corrupt state in the entire U.S.A.!

And that is just the tip of the iceburg...there are lots of other true "seedy" stories about Chi-town and Illinois. Their most recent Governor was also impeached and removed from office...Don't forget that it is also the "Land of Lincoln" (car license plate motto) and also where President Obama was a Senator...Gotta love that state!
