Fristy Bidness...
FEC finds Frist violated law by failing to disclose $1.4 million personal loan CREW's complaint alleged -- and the FEC agreed -- that Frist 2000, Inc. failed to disclose a $1.44 million loan taken out jointly by Frist 2000, Inc. and by Frist's 1994 campaign committee, Bill Frist for Senate, Inc. The result of the discrepancy was to make it appear that Frist 2000, Inc. had significantly more money that it actually had.
In June 2000, Senator Frist took $1 million of the money that had been contributed to his 2000 Senate campaign and invested it in the stock market, where it promptly began losing money. In November 2000, Senator Frist sought to collect $1.2 million he had lent his 1994 Senate campaign committee. As a result of the stock market losses, however, Frist 2000, Inc. did not have enough money to repay the loan. Senator Frist solved this problem by having the 1994 and the 2000 campaign committees jointly take out a $1.44 million bank loan at a cost of $10,000 a month interest. Frist 2000, Inc. did not report this debt on its FEC disclosure forms. [more]
I heart CREW.

"Fristy Bidness"...is that the new meaning for "Frisky Business"?? LOL!
Well, Dr. Quack MD. really got what was coming to him. And "Frisky business" is right S-Q. After reading Tom Flocco's article about "Frisky" Frist, the man doesn't have a prayer for the 2008 Presidential election. He need to say 'no' to graft, hookers, and given fake diagnosis!
FRIST SUCKS AND BLOWS!!!
We know the President from the kind of people he surrounds himself with.
D
Is that a CONDOM he's holding???
SPB:
It is VERY VERY important that Bill Frist run for President. Please don't do anything to dissuade this man. He is NOT running for re-election to the Senate - because he is gearing up for a WH run.
He is SO hosed politically that he will never even get on the ballot. He is, literally, in the tank.
LET HIM GO FOR IT! Considering the things he's been up to, a little personal loan is the least of his problems. His crediblity sucks even with the Stepford Republicans.
Wasn't Frist voted to be the Republican's pick for President 08.
Well who's left to run. The way things are going maybe Tom DeLay should be the next President. He can do days in WH and nights in jail. Poor Chris Matthews he picked Frist now what will he do as he publicly supported a criminal for President.
Anybody gotta gud recipe fer white trash fish? Ah jest caught uh mess of em.

Frisky Frist will never make it on the ballot. I can sneeze the wrong way and that man would never be the next Prez. After reading about Frisky Frist in the "Debbie does Dallas" drama in the Tom Flocco article, he certainly lose in the "family values" catagory! And if Frist is last hopeful for the GOP next Prez, put Homer Simpson's name on the ballot!
Here, here, bluewild! A definite improvement. The Simpson family are the most popular across the country. I bet Homer's job approval ratings in this country and international would be higher than the Gerbil's!
Last nite i was listening to Mr Savage of the "SAVAGE NATION"and what he said was indicative of the change in peoples views.
Now this is a SERIOUS change of heart.He said he was going to,from now on, listen to and read from liberal sites BECAUSE he said he knew what they were--CORRUPT--but was sick and tired of being conned
by CONSERVATIVE do godders(while they rob people blind) acting as HONEST folk when in fact they are just as bad or WORSE.
He said he would rather deal with the known then the unknown.
He really nailed HASTERT for defending a man who got caught with the tainted $$$ in his freezer and who pushed BUSH to seal the records for 45 days. I think he shook up a lot of his audience.He said that when are congressman and senators above the law?...ill get the link
I read that the little soldier got a limited amount of notes he wanted. Also Fitz used protect national security as his defense. I know Cheney was mad as Fitz now gave a great chess move.
Hello All,
Speaking of Homer-remember this classic line?
Homer Simpson, talking to Bart after he got into trouble at school:
"We're going to send you to another school! And if you get kicked out of that school, you're going straight into the Army, where you'll be sent to America's latest military quagmire. Where will it be? North Korea? Iran? Anything possible with Commander Coo-Coo Bananas in charge!"
Even Homer is smarter than Dubya..
More BS from the WEASEL SPB.
In a conciliation agreement reached with Frist 2000, Inc. and the committee's treasurer, the FEC stated that the campaign committee violated the law by failing to report the loan on the 2000 Year End Report and by failing to report the repayment of the loan on the 2001 Mid-Year Report. The FEC fined Frist 2000, Inc. $11,000, as required by statute.
(How disappointing this must be for the red meat bloggers that post here. Just a slap on the wrist for Frist when most here would want life with hard labor.)
Bill Frist- One nasty cat killer.

PLEASE send that link. That is GREAT news!
Anon @6:18
That is great news when the wingnut hate media begins to change their tune.
A minor crack in the foundation of the primary tools this crooked administration has used to anestithize and manipulate the public.
I hope it continues to chip away.

"As spoke I changed, and I thanked God and Patrick Fitzgeralds's parents for bringing him into the world and U.S.A." I agree, Jan!
Be back on the blog in a little bit! A very special person who look like me is celebrating a B-Day.. Got to run and get the cake! By for now!
I watched this video again tonight:

I was clueless before 10/28/05. Oh, I felt a sourness in my soul about all that was happening in our country and our world but that day before I listened to Mr. Fitzgerald, at work live on the radio, I thought, "who is this mean man who wants to jail reporters?". As he spoke I changed, and I thanked God and Patrick Fitzgeralds's parents for bringing him into the world and U.S.A. :) I wonder how much will be changed by this catalytic warrior and seeker of the truth will the next time he speaks before and for the public as he did on 10/28/06...
Happy Birthday!!!!
(Big Kiss) ;*
Bet you don't look a day over 29 ;D!
Or is it you child who looks like you?
In any case Happy B-day!
Jan,
I'm back. Thanks! I just got the cake. It's a strawberry ice cream cake and the amount of money for that small cake is ridiculous!
A day over 29? hmmm? You know, when I tell people my real age, they look at me and say: "no, you not-----. You look young!" I think it is that age defying products that my lady friend gives to me for my face. Well, you know women know better! So, I better listen to her! If not, my face will look like a prune! Now, her face, she looks more youthful than I do!
Yes, I agree, women know better ;D A man should always count himself and his looks to be bless by the true love of a woman :) Me, I wear my crows feet and gray skunk sreak like war paint ;D
Crap ;o.. (typing) you know what I mean.
But why did you buy your own cake, may I ask?
Is it your birthday SPB?
So he says ;)
Happy Birthday!!!!
Have a great weekend too!
I have to get off here...storms again!!
See ya later, Jan, have a good evening. :)
S-Q,
Yes, it is! Very few people even in the office knew. I usually don't advertise it!
Jan,
No, I didn't buy my own cake. the cake was pre-ordered. And i had to go with a member of my family to get it! As I said, the cake was small. So, I can only put my first name on it. I had to go get the cake because I had to choose what I want to put on the cake. No big brithday party just a few family members. And actually, the birthday was yesterday not today. I am celebrating today because my busy schedule yesterday. I wish birthdays were on weekends! Besides, I had a nice B-day dinner yesterday and an interesting prediction on my horoscope yesterday. People look at birthdays as the important thing. But, to me, it is the family and the ones that you love and care for are the most important. Besides the emails, B-cards, and calls that I have gotten yesterday and today, I'm satisfied! I only wish someone gotten me a ticket to one of the NBA playoffs! That would be nice!
;D Make a BIG wish and blow out the candle on you little cake. I bet you wish for something real good!
Good night!

Iraq war will hurt GOP in fall elections, pollster says
"MACKINAC ISLAND – The war in Iraq has become so unpopular that it could cost Republicans control of Congress, statehouses and governor races around the country, national pollster John Zogby said Friday.
He said 70% of voters believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, adding, “I have never seen a number like that since I’ve been polling.”
He said 68% of voters believe the war in Iraq wasn’t worth the loss of American lives. He added, “Americans want their wars to be won, they want it won quickly and their troops home and out of harms way.”
Iraq is the top issue for U.S. voters, immigration is second most important.
The economy is third most important nationally. Although economic indicators are generally good, working Americans worry about gas prices and about losing their health care coverage and pensions.
The unpopularity of the Iraq war has cost President George W. Bush and Republicans their grip on the issue of terrorism as “their ace in the hole.”
Bush is so unpopular he can’t help Republican candidates get elected this year. “I don’t think you’ll see him in Macomb County,” he said.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani and U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, are the only national Republicans who can transcend their party’s growing unpopularity."

Jan,
I blew out my candle and made a wish. And what is my wish?
1. You emailed me. Check your email with my response.
2. I'm not telling... That I will reveal in due time...
Good night Jan and all! Signing off!
HB SPB!!!
Basheert--It looks like Frist is holding a condom wrapper and he looks like he is preaching the evils of it--abstinence, right? Surgeon General Elders had a much more entertaining outlook on all that. ;-)
My friend is very happy about the good comments folks posted about my new little squirrel friend. Thanks!
I have a bunch of extra OT to put in the next couple of weeks. A Night Owl is OK, but an Up All Night Owl Night After Night is not OK! I may have to disappear off the blog and meet my deadlines. I hope everyone plays nicely with each other while I am busy. ;-)
Speaking of which, where did all the folks go who post all kinds of things about Mossad, etc.? Maybe now that Israel's navy is going to train with NATO, they are all out getting some Xanax to calm down.
I figured that might put their anxiety levels over the edge. ;-)
Night Owl,
I can't tell you how many times I have pulled up you little photo to enjoy and giggle- I simply adore it ;)

top o' the morning everyone
Mr Libby was charged last year on five counts of obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements during the investigation. He is the only official to be charged, but Mr Rove has testified five times before a grand jury and remains in legal limbo.
Mr Libby has won some early rounds. Last week, Judge Reggie Walton ordered Time and the Washington Post to hand over some internal documents, but dismissed other demands as a “fishing expedition”.
.... Another member, James Woolsey, former CIA director, says he lent his support because “I’ve never thought there was an underlying crime. There has been no indictment for the underlying crime. If you allow a special counsel without any kind of Department of Justice supervision to investigate anything that is interesting, even if there is not a crime, the entire system can get out of whack.”
He says the 1982 act that protects the identities of CIA agents and triggered the investigation was very narrowly drafted. “This is not even close.”
More BS from the birthday boy and WEASEL SPB.
POLITICS
Rove visit here inspires Shaw's supporters
President Bush's chief political advisor, Karl Rove, called on Broward Republicans to put everything they could into seeing that U.S. Rep. Clay Shaw of Fort Lauderdale is re-elected.
BY ERIKA BOLSTAD
Rove proved a popular draw for Broward Republicans, who snatched up all 600 tickets to see a speaker whose campaign smarts and strategy are credited with electing Bush president twice.
"Former U.S. nuclear weapon scientist Wen Ho Lee, once suspected of spying, has finally settled his privacy lawsuit with the U.S. government and five news organizations for over 1.6 million U.S. dollars."
Wen Ho Lee gets the last laugh. He who laughs last, laughs the loudest. There are many knee jerk so called professionals that post here that may find out their boisterous cat calls will be silenced in the end and the objects of their ire will be laughing all the way home.
Unprecedented...
times call for unprecedented actions.
No active soldier shall serve this country without having a mandatory CIVILIAN lawyer - available at all times.
A Commander-in-Chief shall be relieved of command until pending investigations have been concluded.
National Security shall be suspended in the interest of justice and truth.(I don't care if a terrorist(s) blows my shit away...as long as I die with unlimited civil liberties)
...the list is endless...and so should be the unprecedented actions.
Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director, said "it is gratifying to see that the FEC recognizes that Senator Frist's campaign committee broke the law. Apparently, the FEC disagreed with Sen. Frist's aide's dismissal of the complaint as 'incorrect' and 'politically driven.'"
If one goes back into CREWS filings with the FEC they will see that many valid complaints have been ignored for quite some time.
I'm sure this new FEC action is very gratifying for Sloan and this tenacious group.
SPB:
Well, I wish you would have said something yesterday about your birthday!! I hope you had a good one though!
ROCK THE BILOXI HOOD!! :)
S-Q,
Thanks for the well wishes on my B-Day!
