Good Morning JBs and Fitzie...

Nice editorial...so true too. It is easy to become immune to good news when it repeats itself, but it is good for us to remember the good crime-fighting stories & the people who work these cases...they make our world a safer one.

Congratulations Fitzie & FBI on your 3 year investigation... looking forward to the 29 BAMS!

And there is certainly alot of garbage in Chicago called crime to clean up: from the city officals to county officials to mayor to governor... Chicago Ntaive has been keeping me up to speed with some of the corrupted city officals such as Todd Stroger, Bobbie Steele, and others.. I just hope that Chicago can get a budget for the DOJ office and man power to drain the swamp,get rid of the garbage, and hire some decent people instead having the corrupted officals hiring faimly members in that town.

Bob Geiger has posted his interview with Senator Reid on his site (also on Huffington Post) in which Reid says that investigating the manipulation of information leading up to the Iraq war will be one of the Senate's investigative priorities. This will have to draw in the CIA Leak Case and seems to me to be good news for Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson.

"Never Fear Biloxi is here !"

Hey, I like that slogan. That sounds like that is from Underdog.. I don't know of you remember that cartoon....


In other news:

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), "a Republican whose once-steady rise in politics ended with a resounding defeat" in November to Bob Casey, "refused to be photographed with Mr. Casey [after their meeting Friday], and brushed past reporters in his closing days in the Capitol."

Little Ricky Scrotum is an asswipe. Can't take defeat and won't take a photo-op woth Casey...

Hi JB's. Here's a joke: (well, if you count the Bush administration itself, this is two jokes):

How many members of the Bush Administration does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: TEN.

1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;

3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;

4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for eternal darkness;

5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for a new light bulb;

6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor and standing on a step ladder under the banner "Bulb Accomplished" ;

7. One administration insider to resign and reveal, in detail, how Bush was literally "in the dark" the whole time;

8. Another one to viciously smear #7;

9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light bulb-changing policy all along;

10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and the country.

And after all is said and done, no one will notice that they never actually managed to change the light bulb.

I think this sums up the last 6 years of American government nicely.

Now I've heard it all... unbeleivable. This adminsitration will hire anyone and where are the background checks? The White House of Incompetents...

A top Air Force lawyer who served at the White House and in a senior position in Iraq turns out to have been practicing law for 23 years without a license.

Col. Michael D. Murphy was most recently commander of the Air Force Legal Operations Agency at Bolling Air Force Base in the District.

He was the general counsel for the White House Military Office from December 2001 to January 2003, and from August 2003 to January 2005. In between those tours, he was the legal adviser to the reconstruction effort in Iraq, an Air Force spokesman said...

He was relieved of his command at Bolling on Nov. 30 after the Air Force learned that he had been disbarred for professional misconduct in Texas in 1984 but hadn't informed his superiors...

I'm not afraid to show my picture to let others know that I am who I say I am.I come on this blog because there are some very intelligent and well informed people here. I believe blogs like this are how we took back the Senate and Congress. FYI: You can't scare me. I'm a nurse.

Top of the morning all
Nice article in Chicago paper. I noticed the Daley called the Attorney General for help. I sure wish we had an Attorney General now all we have is a college drop out sitting in the position. Fitz I never realized there was so much crime. Chicago is such a beautiful city. The criminal must have taken a holiday when I visited. I walked around and even took the bus like a deer in the head light but everyone was warm and helpful. I don't even want to remember what I looked like walking into Marshall Fields. Peaches kept telling me to close my mouth. But the cheesecake factory was to much I got full just looking at the food.
Fitz in the little spear time you have let me know how my friend Roger Ebert is doing. We never get news up dates here in California. Roger is like family to me he's been around so long I sometimes forget his just a movie critic.
Also I noticed on SPB web site President Gerbil is now got the answers to how to solve the Iraq conflict. Just think the Study Group and other White House leaders couldn't come up with the answer but Barney the dog did. Bush had a conference with Barney as Barney told him what to do. Americans should have voted for Barney as President.

Now, the 54-year-old Barnes joins Haggard as a fallen evangelical minister who preached that homosexuality was a sin but grappled with a hidden life.

"I have struggled with homosexuality since I was a 5-year-old boy," Barnes said in the 32- minute video, which church leaders permitted The Denver Post to view. "... I can't tell you the number of nights I have cried myself to sleep, begging God to take this away."

When are they going to realize that one cannot pray the gay away? Society needs to change, not the people that were born gay. Tolerance for all people.
