And There Goes Ted Stevens in the Footsteps of Randy Cunningham, Bob Ley and Others

Indicted on Seven Federal Counts - and he's down for those counts.   It's all about home improvement, without Tim Allen.  Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars worth of home improvements. "

And he made quite the sweet heart deal trading cars, too.  Traded an old Ford for a new Land Rover. What's wrong with American cars, Ted?  No matter - at 85 years of age, Ted's looking at a life sentence.

Reason to Vote Republican

Makes you want to re-think that decision, doesn't it?

John McCain is Just OK With Enronomics.

John McCain and his friends, the practitioner's of Enronomics.  Apparently McCain's philosophy is let big oil do unto others -- just so long as they contribute big to the McCain Campaign.

It's Not Your Father's Republican Party

I'm not going soft, but sometimes I like these heartwarming stories, and this one truly is. In 1986, Dan Harrison was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Dan approached it very carefully.. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Dan worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Dan stood frozen, thinkng of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Dan never forgot that elephant - or the events of that day. Twenty years later, Dan was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Dan and his son, Dan Jr., were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Dan, lifted its front foot off the ground and then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Dan couldn't help wondering ... Dan summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Dan's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly. Probably wasn't the same elephant. And it's not your father's Republican Party, either. Look what it and George W. Bush have done to us.

Jack Cafferty on China - No Argument Here.

On the April 9 airing of "The Situation Room," "Cafferty said of America's relationship with China: "We continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export . . . jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."

CNN later said Cafferty's comments were directed at the Beijing government."

And Cafferty is incorrect at what point? Seems to me he's dead on accurate.  Remember when Walmart claimed to Buy American?

America Needs Real Solutions to Real Problems for Real People; Republicans Again Provide Special Solutions to Special Problems for Special Interests.

From MSNBC: "Republicans and business-friendly Democrats (Including, of course, Joe LIE-berman) on Thursday scuttled a plan to give people threatened with losing their homes more leverage in winning favorable loan terms from their lenders in bankruptcy courts.

The Senate killed the bankruptcy plan by a 58-36 vote on the first full day of debate on a bill designed to boost the slumping housing market.

The Democratic-backed bankruptcy law changes, opposed by banks and their GOP allies and a handful of Democrats, would have given judges the power to cut interest rates and principal on troubled mortgages to help desperate borrowers trapped in subprime mortgages keep their homes."

"The defeat of the bankruptcy plan highlighted a weakness that many people find with the bill _ that it showers generous tax breaks on money-losing businesses like home builders but does little to help people facing foreclosure."

"The measure is advertised as helping people keep their homes and injecting demand into the teetering housing market. But its most costly provision simply gives tax cuts worth $25 billion over the next few years to businesses like home builders and banks.

Meanwhile, it provides just $3 billion in tax relief to homeowners over the same period, according to an estimate by the Joint Tax Committee, which explores for lawmakers the effects of tax legislation on the Treasury."

And the Republicans are intent and purposeful in their drive toward Bush's Great Depression II

Another Republican Busted

Congressman Charged in Land Deal

The Associated Press

Fri, Feb 22, 2008 (4:26 a.m.)

Republican Rep. Rick Renzi has been indicted for extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other charges related to a land deal in Arizona.

A 26-page federal indictment unsealed in Arizona accuses Renzi and two former business partners of conspiring to promote the sale of land that buyers could swap for property owned by the federal government. The sale netted one of Renzi's former partners $4.5 million.

New Bush Rationale - Abramoff Corruption is a National Security Issue

The Bush Administration is now claiming that records of visits to the White House by Jack Abramoff, convicted felon Republican lobbyist who bought and paid for so many Republican congressmen and presidents, are secret.

From the Associated Press:  "The Justice Department, citing a Cold War-era court ruling, declared that the contents of the "Sensitive Security Records" cannot be publicly revealed even though they could show whether Abramoff made more visits to the White House than those already acknowledged.

"The simple act of doing so ... would reveal sensitive information about the methods used by the Secret Service to carry out its protective function," the Justice Department argued."

FAUX Noise Nightmare - Judith Regan Sues Rupert and Roger

Judith Regan has brought suit against Newscorp., parent corporation of FOX News and run by Rupert and Roger.  Now some criticize her suit, those with an agenda to discredit her and defend the Newscorp. agenda.  I believe, however, there’s enough ‘there’ there to get the ball rolling — and what a vehicle for delving into the dark minds of Newscorp. I believe Regan is a woman scorned here, an ally when they used her and flattered her — but now they’ve turned on her and unleashed hell. From Murdoch to Ailes — and I fear for Regan’s safety based upon the interests involved here. 

Regan believes she was canned to protect the fading candidacy of Rudy Giuliani - hard to believe when you recognize Rudy has no chance whatsoever - because of her connection to Rudy's disgraced Police Chief, Bernie Kerik.

Regan has filed a complaint alleging a 'deliberate smear campaign' and referencing Giuliani's 'vulnerabilities.'  Check it out for fun.
