Oy. If you haven’t heard this story, it’s a doozy. The mayor of Peoria, Illinois, went all Stasi on someone who set up a *really* *lame* parody Twitter account, including raiding his home.

Never trust a politician from Illinois. I think a case can be made that nobody should be allowed to hold public office for more than two weeks in that state, and that anyone who holds office of state senator or higher should be immediately investigated by the FBI. And for Odin’s sake, never vote for an Illinois politician for Federal office! No good could possibly come from that.
