Well, here's hoping today is a bit more exciting than yesterday, stupid Tuesday doldrums. What's that? Blago-who? Oh. Him. Yes. Well, in case you missed it, are new to the site, or just want something nice and concise ('cause who doesn't?), here's what we've covered regarding the man who's about to become our fourth governor in 35 years to go to the clink.

• Though weren't completely shocked by it, Governor Blagojevich's arrest still had us spitting out our morning coffee.
• We picked out our favorite excerpts from the official federal complaint, including this nugget: “I’ve got this thing and it’s fucking golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for fuckin’ nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there.” Also? You have to admire the balls of a man who calls the President-Elect a "motherfucker."
• We liveblogged US Attorney Pat Fitzgerald's press conference in which he noted that "...it would make Lincoln roll over in his grave."
• We took a closer look at John Harris aka "the other guy who was arrested."
• We discovered Sean Connery had given Blagojevich a lesson a long time ago.
• We explored what our fine friends around the interwebs had to say about yesterday's events.
• We explored the possibility that incoming Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel might have been the one to tip the feds off on Blago.
• We listened to Obama respond and girded ourselves for a special election to elect a new senator.
• Finally, we discovered Blago looks like a Lego man.
