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.

WE know what a criminal White House looks like -- The Bush White House

Frank Rich Tells It Like It Is:  "And so we’re back where we started in the summer of 2001, with even shark attacks and Chandra Levy’s murder (courtesy of a new Washington Post investigation) returning to the news. We are once again distracted and unprepared while the Taliban and bin Laden’s minions multiply in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This, no less than the defiling of the Constitution, is the legacy of an administration that not merely rationalized the immorality of torture but shackled our national security to the absurdity that torture could easily fix the terrorist threat.

That’s why the Bush White House’s corruption in the end surpasses Nixon’s. We can no longer take cold comfort in the Watergate maxim that the cover-up was worse than the crime. This time the crime is worse than the cover-up, and the punishment could rain down on us all."

A good read.

McCain Adviser Seeks Al Qaeda Endorsement for His Candidate

In a Fortune magazine piece just published, McCain Adviser Charlie Black, referencing a terror attack on our nation, said, "Certainly it would be a big advantage to (McCain)."  They want more dead Americans to use as campaign props for McCain, just like they did George W. Bush.  Charlie Black is looking for an Al Qaeda endorsement.

Black is also quoted as saying the "unfortunate event" of the assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto earlier this year "helped us."

How very sad.

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.

Its Not the Destination, It's the Journey - But I Think Bush and McCain are Lost

I can't tell from here who will be the Democrat nominee, both Obama and Clinton are certainly excellent prospects.

However, George W. Bush's blunders have killed over 4000 Americans, we've p-issed away trillions of dollars, the national debt has doubled under his administration, countless people are losing their homes, fuel costs have doubled and on their way to triple what they were since Bush took office, food shortages have appeared in the last few months, wages aren't keeping up with inflation, Bush is well on his way to delivering The Great Depression II ... and the list goes on.  Al Qaeda hasn't damaged us to the degree George W. Bush and the Republican leaders in Congress have damaged us.

And John McCain as Republican nominee offers more of the same in the form of George W. Bush's third term.  How do you think that's going to work out for him? He may as well use "Heckuva Job, Bushie" as his campaign theme.

And Now the Wall Street Journal Sounds the Food Shortage Alarm.

Load Up the Pantry
April 21, 2008 6:47 p.m.

By BRETT ARENDS

I don't want to alarm anybody, but maybe it's time for Americans to start stockpiling food.

No, this is not a drill.

You've seen the TV footage of food riots in parts of the developing world. Yes, they're a long way away from the U.S. But most foodstuffs operate in a global market. When the cost of wheat soars in Asia, it will do the same here.

Reality: Food prices are already rising here much faster than the returns you are likely to get from keeping your money in a bank or money-market fund. And there are very good reasons to believe prices on the shelves are about to start rising a lot faster.

"Load up the pantry," says Manu Daftary, one of Wall Street's top investors and the manager of the Quaker Strategic Growth mutual fund. "I think prices are going higher. People are too complacent. They think it isn't going to happen here. But I don't know how the food companies can absorb higher costs." (Full disclosure: I am an investor in Quaker Strategic)"

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.
