Still on the road (somewhere between Oklahoma City and Tulsa) but I wanted to get this up:
Aaron Schock, a former Illinois congressman whose Capitol Hill office was decorated in the style of the TV show “Downton Abbey,” and whose six-pack abs landed him on the cover of Men’s Health, was indicted Thursday on charges that he misspent government and campaign money for his personal benefit.
It’s the usual story: the money went to things like seeing da Bears, remodeling, and a 2015 Tahoe. The only thing that really distinguishes it for me is that the crooked Illinois politician (is that redundant?) is a Republican this time.

Illinois state house is unusual in that it’s run by The Combine, i.e. both Democrats and Republicans share in participating in the graft.
