We must reform corrections. Or correct reform. Not sure.

I too along with a million others think rod blagojevich is a blazing idiot. Certainly he has committed his share of broken laws. Crimes against the state of Illinois. Yes, he should pay and pay dearly.

However, is it really necessary to send a man who has not harmed anyone or damaged personal or public property to a harsh prison sentence? He is neither threat to anybody nor a danger to himself. He just a blathering buffoon. A real obnoxious guy.

Nonetheless, I think a more humiliating sentence should be handed down to him instead of a lengthy prison term. Humiliating like driving a Chicago or Springfield city bus for five or six years. Or, driving and working a city trash truck. Perhaps do roadwork with the Department of Transportation. Something like flagman or steamroller driver. Anything where he could be seen and ridiculed or shamed. All, at no pay. Well, maybe a free lunch.

But, the idea is to receive benefit from his labors. Being in prison would just hide him from humiliation and shame. So put him out on the streets for all to view and point at. He should wear a bright yellow and orange jump suit that says, “Bad Boy Politician” emblazoned in front and back. What do you think?
