So. What is crazy accidental Illinois Senator Roland Burris up to, these days? Oh, just Senate stuff, you know. Talking about health care. Giving speeches. Asking utterly insane questions at pointless hearings about imaginary Czars.

Martha Stewart turns 68 today. Tom Brady, the Patriots quarterback and father of Gisele Bundchen's fetus, is turning 32. Martin Sheen is 69. Tony Bennett is turning 83. Model Evangeline Lilly turns 30. Art-collecting heir Adam Lindemann is turning 48. Model Brooklyn Decker is 22. Sen. Roland Burris is turning 72.…

Have trouble remembering the hero who bravely stepped in to fill Barack Obama's old Senate seat when everyone was afraid of looking like they were friends with Rod Blagojevich? The Chicago Tribune has a PDF for that.

Remember Roland Burris, the crazy old coot appointed by disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to fill Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat? Things have been kind of quiet on the Burris front for a while now, at least since he was busted lying under oath, but that's all about to change.

Hero Illinois Senator Roland Burris apparently did a little bit of lying under oath about how Rod Blagojevich's brother got him to try to raise some money for Blago, and suddenly no one likes him anymore!

It's semiofficial! Roland Burris, hero, will be the new junior senator from Illinois.

Sam Adam Jr., a former defense lawyer for R. Kelly, is now working for Rod Blagojevich, the embattled Illinois governor. What's his advice for his wiretapped client? Don't pick up the phone!

So Roland Burris, the crazy new Illinois Senator-in-waiting, will be seated! According to the Associated Press! But not according to Harry Reid. But... maybe?

Blago faces impeachment! The embattled Illinois governor is about to become even embattleder, as the Illinois House rushes back to work (next week).

Hahahaha criminal Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has exercised his right to make an appointment to the US Senate.
