Q the Eye/05.16.11

Dear LakeCountyEye,

I'm just a simple country state's attorney trying to do my job as best as I can. But some fools over at one of the fool schooldistricts got caught using their government issue email IDs where they shouldn't. My teapartybase is seething around the collar, and want them sent up to Leavenworth for the rest of their lives. Honestly, I got more important items in the hopper, like retirement, and such matters.

Tempests in a Teapot

Dear Tea Cozy,

Who doesn't look forward to retirement (especially on a government pension)? To lazy days of comfort & ease, nestled betwixt the friendly confines of the parental unit's half-finished basement, fortified with string cheese & nachos, all the while typing any old half-backed idea straight into the Internet, and mostly at random. But many more moons shall pass before your LakeCountyEye hangs up the LakeCountyEye shingle. Who else, your LakeCountyEye asks, will think of the operatives?

Your LakeCountyEye wishes all problems were as simple as yours. One could do worse than take a hint from this savvy state's attorney:

The Lake County State’s Attorney's office has confirmed that it is also investigating claims of misconduct in District 46. Violations of the district's ethics policy, however, would not be under the jurisdiction of that office. That requires an internal investigation, officials said.

Just three simple words to memorize: Not my job!

And if that don't throw cold water on a boiling teacup, just remind your teapartybase that the damnfools who they FOIAed were other Republicans:

The Party to a Crime

Nuff said!
