UPDATE: Looks Like Obama and Blago Did Talk …

UPDATE to this update: KHQA-TV has removed the article below from its website. (Good thing we, um … made a copy.)

There’s been a whirlwind of speculation in the last 24 hours about (1) whether or not Barack Obama knew his U.S. Senate seat was up for sale, (2) whether or not he talked to Rod Blagojevich about it, (3) whether or not he personally made the decision to not “play ball,” and even, for the conspiracy-minded, (4) if he or his surrogates might have tipped the FBI about the pay-for-play scheme in the first place.

First, Obama aide David Axelrod was like, “the prez-to-be and the inmate-to-be talked about it.” Then Obama was all, like, “Oh no, we din’t.” Then Axelrod said “oops.”

Well, here’s some new red meat from Quincy, Illinois TV station KHQA (that’s channel 7 for you locals).

Whaddya think? Looks like a meeting to me.

Ill. governor meeting with Obama today

CHICAGO, ILL. — Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.

That’s one of Obama’s first priorities today.

He’s meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it.

Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement.

There’s already been speculation about his selection…from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. of Chicago’s south side who co-chaired Obama’s presidential campaign, to recently-retired state senate president Emil Jones, to the governor himself.

It’s likely the governor will make his decision quickly so the new senator will get some seniority before newly-elected senators take office in January.

Part of the timing depends on when Obama officially vacates his senate seat.

KHQA’s Alexis Hunt is speaking with Illinois Senator John Sullivan today about his thoughts on that replacement process, his time working with Obama in the state senate, and if there’s a chance Sullivan might play a role in the Obama administration. Watch KHQA News at 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. tonight to hear what he has to say.

Tila Tequila Lives in a Glass Case of Delusion

At a NYC book signing for Hooking Up With Tila Tequila, the Myspace phenom shared a vaguely Angelina-esque personal dream of hers:

“Sometimes I think, like, let’s just run away from Hollywood and adopt a son, and do my own thing. But then I realize, you know what? I want to make at least another billion dollars before I adopt children so I can just focus on them. Like, just move to an island and give them everything.”

“Another billion”? Tell me she’s not implying that she is already a billionaire.

And then, this:

“I had a dog, but I had to give him to [my] best friend, because he did not like to travel at all. And I don’t like little Chihuahuas or poodles or those little dogs those girls carry around. I like bigger dogs, and they get too big for me, because I’m small, so I can’t walk them or anything.”

If she can’t handle a mutt, then I imagine child-rearing on her remote island will be something of a challenge.

But who are we kidding — there are no TVs on private islands! How will she survive?
