Oh No George...not ANOTHER one....? By PHILIP SHENON Published: November 12, 2005 – The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/12/politics/12lobby.html WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 - House Democratic leaders called on the White House on Friday to release documents showing whether a powerful Republican lobbyist had a role in arranging an Oval Office meeting last year between President Bush and the president of the West African nation of Gabon, whose government had been asked by the lobbyist to pay $9 million to help arrange such a meeting. The White House and the State Department have said that the meeting with President Omar Bongo of Gabon on May 26, 2004, was routine and that there was no evidence of any involvement by Mr. Abramoff. Wow will the Nixon parallels never end for Georgie Porgie? Isn’t this exactly how Watergate came about? Little pieces of the fabric unraveling here and there and a couple of hungry writers sunk their teeth in to it and RRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIP…is was over for Ti...

Website Update!

I finally took the time to begin bringing my website in to the 21st century…and, if I can, drop it in to the same…hummm, how the hell am I going to do that?

In looking for new content I discovered a website called ‘EscapeArtist.com’ VERY COOL …I may YET leave America behind for a career as an anonymous jazz pianist in Paris or Geneva. You know looking back on this thing, it’s amazing how BIG a geek I really am…I mean really…who knew…

Bush sets short list for court - Sources name 2 conservative appeals judges

In the immortal words of Ronnie Ray-Gun, “Mr. Bush, there you go again.” I can't believe I saw this Chicago Tribune headline: Bush sets short list for court Sources name 2 conservative appeals judges Published October 30, 2005 - Chicago Tribune Washington Bureau http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0510300283oct30,1,2576545.story?coll=chi-news-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true Hoping to use the smoke from the own prairie fire of bad news for his administration lately, Mr Bush holds fast to the ‘holier than thou/superior’ posture of the Republican party and has released a short list of Super Conservatives as potential next picks for the Supreme Court. Mr Bush is expected to announce today or Monday, that he has narrowed the focus to Judges Samuel Alito of New Jersey and J. Michael Luttig of Virginia. But don't rule out Priscilla Owens. Mr Bush hasn;t met a judicila appointment he didn;t like her for, and doesn't know the meaning of the word, DENIED! Let’s examin...
