I get it now. Maybe the rest of the nation is also tired of politics as usual – Illinois style.

U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., continues to block the purchase of the Thomson prison, and now, several other senators and representatives from other states have joined him with additional reasons for not funding Thomson.

Wolf thinks Obama is pulling the wool over our eyes and still will bring Gitmo prisoners to Illinois. Other senators and representatives cite the four new federal prisons already built, but not opened, in Yazoo City, Miss., Berlin, N.H., Aliceville, AIa., and Hazelton, W. Va.
