Y'all Jus' Whistlin' Dixie?

What the hell is this all about?
SPRINGFIELD - It is said that Cairo, Ill., is closer to Memphis than Chicago - literally, and perhaps figuratively, too.

Now, Gov. Rod Blagojevich may be taking that sentiment to heart.

Blagojevich, who chairs the Midwestern Governors Association, said in February that he is considering also joining the Southern Governors' Association "because southern Illinois is in many ways a southern state."

Blago gone wacko?

Ironic that as the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum prepare to open next month (well, the Library part is already open), the Governor of Illinois wants the state to join the South. What's that spinning noise I hear from the direction of Oak Ridge Cemetery?
