Once a month my book club meets at one of the club member's homes. Tonight book club is at my house. I'm also the book reviewer tonight. This month we read "The Kitchen Boy", by Robert Alexander. I love reading and love changing gears. The book relays the story of Russian Tsar Nicholas and his wife, Alexandra. The Romanov's as we know them best. The story of tells about their last days on earth as told by their young kitchen boy. Without a doubt, the Tsar ruled over a bloody time in Russian history. But here in this story we see a soft side of the ruler. We see him as a loving husband and father. A ruler who wants what he thinks is best for his country. Misguided as he may have been. Sometimes it seems as though he has no clue about his pograms that killed hundreds of his countrymen. Could the head of state be that out of touch?
How about my Illinois Governor? Ever hear of Rod? Who hasn't? First we Chicagoans give America and the world our favorite son, Barak Obama and we are beyond proud. Now, we are again monopolizing the headlines in America. This time we give you our Illinois Governor who may be the most corrupt politician of all times. A dark time is upon Illinois politics again. Rod Blagojevich needs to be jailed. Give him a nice cell next door to ex-governor Ryan. What is it about power?
