Take away Cook County and Chicago, and Illinois is as much as a Red State as Montana. Outside of this northeastern corner of the state (where of course half of Illinois' population lives) there are a few blue splotches, and Champaign County is one of them. From there came Cory Zimbleman, who passed away earlier this month in Tucson, where he was residing.
His obituary is here, and this snippet is almost beyond belief:
He had strong political opinions and followed Amy Goodman's radio broadcast "Democracy Now." Alas the stolen election of 2000 and living with right-winged Americans finally brought him to his early demise. Stress from living in this unjust country brought about several heart attacks rendering him disabled.
Hat tip to Michelle Malkin.
Just think, if Cory only stayed in Illinois, he might still be with us. After all, he'd be a constituent of Richard Durbin.
