Blagojevich to say goodbye before prison
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich will get one last chance to speak his mind Wednesday before he heads to Colorado to start a 14-year prison sentence on a corruption conviction.
Blagojevich has scheduled a news conference outside his house, and will use the occasion to say goodbye, his spokesman said. His prison stint begins Thursday.
"Gov. Blagojevich has always stood up and stood tall. He hasn't hid. And he has truly enjoyed being out in public. He never considered 'sneaking' out of Chicago and miss an opportunity to say goodbye," spokesman Glenn Selig said.
"It's difficult to put into words the challenges he and his family now face. But he draws strength from the incredible support he continues to receive from the people of Illinois and beyond."
Blagojevich's past statements have been noteworthy for their bluster, such as a defiant news conference in April 2010 when he called his accusers "liars" and "cowards" and directly challenged a prosecutor.

People can change their opinions, (ie: change their mind) but once a fact is a fact, ya can't change it, no matter how one wishes it.
I used to think that poster was a generally good man, also.
The things that BF accomplished are facts.
New evidence has come into play, (ie, facts) which changes some of the opinions people used to have of him, but the fact of the matter is, they have only added more facts to the fact file.
There hasn't been anything taken AWAY from the fact fille.
Those who cannot discern the difference between fact and opinion are largely not facing facts.
But that's only my opinion.

I was talking about the kid's poem, and that history isn't fact, but that opinions are.
My opinion is that you're FOS.
Is that a fact?

Or the difference between fact and fantasy!
Hopefully he'll bring a noose and string himself up from a tree in his front yard so I don't have to waste my money on his incarceration
