New to the Blogroll (And Hopefully Soon New to America)

Southern Illinois Statehood Blog. Hopefully soon, cause I’m getting tired of wearing this paper bag over my head.  “Illinois?  That’s like Obama land.”

A few weeks ago, I did a satirical piece about the state of Illinois changing its name to Tax.  In it, I used a fictional person with the first name of Emery in Massac County as the leader of the Southern Illinois statehood movement.  I must be psychic or something, because the Southern Illinois Statehood Blog is a production of someone whose last name is Emery.

UPDATE 6/11: And wouldn’t you know it, there’s already a Facebook group, which organized a meeting last night in Carbondale.  I would have been there had I known.
