Saving Senator Burris

This Trial Blazer's résumé is far more impressive than President Obama's.

(Page 2 of 2)

Help frame the answer.  Come to our "Kaffe and Kash for TB" -- before his enemies cashier him out. 

TB FOREVER.

Well, until the next election anyway.

Yes, they are treating him like a mycobacterium.

Those who call themselves Republican in Illinois should stay out of this mess. There is a race war brewing within the Democratic party and it's about time. The Dems have taken the black vote for granted for decades!!!!

Skep41| 2.27.09 @ 2:02PM

C'mon, how smart or honest do you have to be to vote 'JA' with the other Democrats and RINO Republicans in our National March For Justice. Burris is fine. He comes from a place where corpses, pets and cartoon characters all vote and Blago's pet political walking corpse is a fine caricature of a US Senator. If a loathsome piece of human refuse like Al Franken can be voted for by actual humans (some of those votes HAD to be from real people) than whats the problem with Burris. If we're going to start nit-picking past statements then what hope does Schmucky Schumer have of remaining free from prison? As Democrats go Burris is mild and inoffensive just because he doesnt have the capacity for malicious tyranny like a Leahy or a Boxer. Does he want to nationalized the weather to save the polar bears who are breeding like rabbits in the formerly frozen North like our Fearless Leader Of Change? This guy needs assistance to get his adult diaper pinned on so just leave him alone. I'm sure the ACORN legions will make sure he gets reelected plenty of times.

Burris is not fine! He's just one more of Illinois' crooked politicians. There are already too many of those in the cabinet and congress.

Frank| 2.28.09 @ 1:22AM

The author is correct.Senator Burris while a Chicago political Hack.Does have a good resume.
Far better than some of his peers in the senate.
Even far beter than our President who never made a speech of note or wrote or pushed any inportant legislation in Spingfield or Washinton
His election with nothing to show for a resume,except read a speech written by someone else on a teleprompter at the 2004 Democratic Convention. is amazing.A piece of marketing that shows that anyone really can be president.
Instead of getting rid of Mr Burris ,why not pick his brain about our financial crisis?How many in congress can match the mans experiance?
Think about it.Un like our President he has actually sucsessfully done many thigs in government
Frank.

I wonder why it has been hushed up about Burris? Why hasn't he resigned yet? We don't hear anything about him as of late and he is just going on like nothing happened. I say we should demand his resignation due to his contact with Blago. The Chicago "click" is corrupt to the bone and we should start with a clean slate.

I’ll have a Poptropica full written walkthrough very soon, but in the meantime, here are some answers to some of the frequently asked questions about Mythology Island. Having trouble? Post a question in the comments and I’ll try to answer it!
Getting Hercules to Help You Poptropica

Hercules won’t help you until you have all five items from Zeus’ quest. Once you have the five items, bring them to Athena. Zeus will appear and steal them. The big jerk! Once this happens, talk to Athena and she will tell you that Hercules will help you. You’ll need to have the magic mirror from Aphrodite because Hercules doesn’t want to have to walk. He’s so lazy!
Getting the Hydra Scale poptropica

You can see how to do this in the videos, but basically you need to jump up when the Hydra is about to strike. He will rear one of his heads back to attack and his eyes will bulge out. poptropica
When this happens, jump up in the air and then try to land on top of his head. That head will get knocked out. When all five heads get knocked out, the Hydra will be asleep and you can click on him to get one of the scales. poptropica
