    I'm only 26, so I haven't reached combover status. And the ring doesn't re-grow hair, QB.

    Wise or misguided? The Illinois legislature has introduced a Son of Sam bill to prohibit convicted politicians from profiting from book/movie deals while serving their sentences, no doubt directed at this Blagojevich book.

    Of course, since he hasn't yet been charged or tried, and the book is scheduled for publication this fall, it's hard to see how this would touch him at all.
