Illinois Does A Few Adult Films To Make Ends Meet
SPRINGFIELD, IL—The State of Illinois acknowledged last week that in an effort to stay afloat during the worst financial crisis in its history, it had begun performing in adult films.

Officials said that since ending the 2010 fiscal year with a record $4.7 billion in unpaid bills, Illinois has been actively pursuing roles in sexually explicit direct-to-DVD features, but is only doing so until it can get back on its feet.

"The truth is, we're facing an unprecedented revenue shortfall and must consider every option on the table," state comptroller Daniel Hynes told reporters. "This temporary porn work—which, again, is only our short-term strategy—will provide the much-needed influx of capital we've been looking for."

1. Blagojevich is upset he didn't come up with it during his term.
Blowing smoke up our ass is the closest he came.

9. One of my predictions is that Blago will do porn someday
He's all ego and no shame. We'll see ... or rather hopefully we won't see, it will be enough to hear about it.

8. Mark Kirk's brochures claim he was in the first of
the State's adult features, but it turns out he wasn't.
