Think Globally Prosecute Locally - I grew up in Flatbush, kept my nose clean, went to law school. Now that I am in Chicago and D.C. I have found that the rampant graft and corruption to be a travesty - a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham. ---Favorite quote --- "Conditional love is an oxymoron." - Yours truly

Scaramella on the way to Jail...
Makes for a
Merry X-Mas Eve :o)
Nice pic, Fitzie. Kinda like currier and ives. Merry Christmas, Fitzie. Peace and love to you.
Hi Everyone - have missed you all!
Thought you'd enjoy this little number, courtesy of Firedoglake!!
T'was the night before Christmas and throughout Cellblock A,
Not an inmate was stirring, not even Bob Ney.
The jail guards on duty watched their screens with one eye
As Jack Abramoff tossed in his bunk with a sigh.
Over at the White House, George Bush slumped in his chair
And stared at the trees blooming in warm winter air.
A bottle of Jack sat on the desk by his hand
He wondered why nothing had gone like they'd planned.
Upstairs, Laura lay in the First Couple's bed
And watched the sugar plum fairies dance 'round her head.
Jenna and her sis drank their way through the night
And scoffed at the thought that they should join in Dad's fight.
At the Veep's house, Darth Cheney fondled his nub
And growled lustfully at all the cash in his tub.
Lynne was still steamed at how the news had made hay
That her lesbian daughter was in the family way.
Rumsfeld slept soundly despite the Iraq folly
His first speaking fee gaining interest, by golly.
So a few thousand soldiers had given their lives
This is how a messy new democracy thrives.
No campaign in her future, just more of the same,
Where her "husband" fucked up and she took the blame.
Condi sat at her piano and longed for the day
She returned to Stanford and could be openly gay.
What happened to their plan, the one now deceased?
Where they'd control all the oil in the Middle East?
The one where the military industrial complex thrives
While it destroys countless American lives?
You see, the giant had woken; a disturbance was heard
Somewhere over by Constitution and Third.
A woman "dressed in Armani" had taken the helm
And proposed some big changes in King George's realm.
A quick glance at some video and you got the gist
America had grown tired of Bill "Cat-Killer" Frist.
Voters refused to re-elect someone so dumb
As self-righteous git, Senator Rick Santorum.
A giddiness coursed through the globe's hemispheres
For a return to good government soon would be here!
Six long, painful years the world had suffered the crimes
Of a President who claims to believe in End Times.
But now is not the time to ease up on Dim Son.
Real change still needs to come out of Washington.
Sure, the Chimperor speaks of bipartisanship
But his word is as good as three week-old spinach dip.
The media, as well, must be made to account,
While the numbers of dead continue to mount.
Like eager freshmen donning their Rush Week beanies
Pundits sacrifice truth for their damned cocktail weenies.
Now right-wing nutjobs frantically scramble to find
A new bugaboo they can all get behind.
A Muslim American sworn in on a Koran?
My god, what will come next? We all move to Iran?
So go K.O., go Fitzy, go Media Matters!
Keep up the pressure on all these Mad Hatters.
On A-list, on B-list, and C-Z list bloggers
Fingers fleet like the feet of Riverdance cloggers.
One of these days we'll finally be able to shout
We worked as a team to kick the criminals out.
So those of you still doubting, be of good cheer.
The Internets, The Google, and Youtube are here.
A cynical optimist, I cling to the hope
That idiots hang themselves when given the rope.
That these villainous fiends who spread war like the plague
Will all wind up shackled in the dock at The Hague.
Happy Holidays to all and peace to the world. And as soon as possible, please.

I want to wish Fitz, DOJ, and all bloggers and wonderful Xmas.
Congrats to the CREW:
The Watchdog

As executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Sloan helped clean up the most corrupt Congress in recent history. A former sex-crimes prosecutor, she engineered the ethics complaints that led to the downfall of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Rep. Curt Weldon, for their abuses of public office. She was also one of the first to obtain Rep. Mark Foley's predatory e-mails, which she forwarded to the FBI in July.
And I am going to try to see inspirational movie with Will Smith called "The Pursue of Happyness" based on the story of Chris Gardner. Mr. Gardner just like anyone except he had a dream. Here is an excerpt of Mr. Gardner:
Finally, he got a break. He had survived several rounds of interviews at Dean Witter, and had one more to go. That's when a police officer checking his tags discovered he had $1,200 in outstanding parking tickets. With no money to pay them he was jailed for 10 days. When he got out, he discovered his girlfriend, his son and all his clothes gone. He showed up for the interview in the same clothes he'd worn before going to jail. Rather than try to make up a story, he told the truth. Turned out the interviewer had been through a messy divorce or two. Gardner got the job.
A few months later, his girlfriend showed up at his boardinghouse with their son. She couldn't take care of him anymore, she told Gardner. It was his turn. The boardinghouse did not allow children, and with another mouth to feed and diapers and day care costs on his $1,000-a-month trainee salary, Gardner and his son took to flophouses, soup kitchens and the streets.
Between the help from Glide and his slow but steady success as a stockbroker, Gardner says, he was able to break free after a year of homelessness.
He moved over to Bear Stearns, and a few years later, he moved to New York City to work for the firm on Wall Street. Then, in 1989 he opened his own stock brokerage firm, Gardner Rich & Co., in Chicago. And he finally bought that Ferrari: from Michael Jordan.
Heading off the computer..Enjoy the festivities.. Can't wait for the Heat-Lakers NBA game tomorrow. Go Lakers!!!
Santa Biloxi out!!!
Basheert,
There is a post on 12-15 for you. :D
Hello Basheert!
You were missed here. A great little number from Firedoglake; thanks for sharing!
Merry Fitzmas and Happy Holidays to you, Fitzie and all Justice Bloggers...
Back to the festivities...
Porkrinds Roasting On An Open Fire
Porkrinds roasting on an open fire,
Fitzgerald nipping at your nose,
Fitzmas carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed all in orange clothes.
Everybody knows a Grand Jury and some mistletoe,
Helps to make the season bright.
Fitz’s bloggers with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Fitz is on his way;
He's loaded lots of indictments on his sleigh.
And every CIA Agent is going to spy,
To see if Turdblossom really knows how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To bloggers from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Fitzmas to you!
Written By-S-Q
Hope Santa is good to you..
L-O-V-E the PORKRIND'S roasting poem! People are really getting more clever all the time. Must be because there is so much to write about...
like the 6 dead soldiers this weekend....
Bet that is music to Darth Cheney's bloody ears.
On a much lighter note - SQ thanks so much for the cute card!!!! And to all the very special bloggers here at the FitzBlog - may your wishes and dreams come true and may your husband remember that you really did NOT want that saber saw for Christmas.
(Why can't husbands' think DIAMONDS on a regular basis???? .. mine doesn't have an excuse, our S-I-L is a JEWELER)...
Happy Holidays to us all - and a fervent wish and a prayer that next year at this time, all of our young men and women fighting for oil and having their lives absolutely wasted for NOTHING by a pathologic toad and his puppet...will be home safely with their families where they belong.
Peace and love to all of you!!!
It's Christmas Eve....do you know where your blogger is?
Ho Ho Ho
What's this about a diamond?? You say Biloxi's girl got a diamond for Christmas? Well, I'll be.
Here we go again......
I heard that Fitz is getting pink edible panties for Xmas to match his pooh bear sweatshirt.. What will Jackie think of her little angel's Xmas gift? And will he wear those panties at Scooter's trial?
Before spending his last night in the Governor's Mansion, Gov. Jeb Bush confided Thursday what he really likes about the place -- including unlimited fresh towels...
..."I don't know how it is in your life but it's -- most of the time, you know, most people take showers and you use towels six or seven times," he said, "but here, although I've been trained to do otherwise, any time I want, I can have a new towel."
