If you're into collecting license plates, you'll be thrilled to know that the state of Illinois is planning to release a limited edition "friends of Obama" collectors series of license plates from several of its maximum and medium security facilities.

Tony Rezko is "hammering out" the final design for his plate right now with the assistant warden. Alexi Giannoulias is just starting on the initial design for his. And if the state of Illinois can work out custody issues with the Europeans and Iraqis over where fugitive billionaire Nadhmi Auchi will be spending the foreseeable future, they hope to add him to the team of notables producing the "this is not the man I knew" themed series of plates.

Expect more releases as more "friends of Obama" accept the AG's invitation to join the team Illinois is putting together!
