Kenny Starr is still working

He has a new job now. You remember Kenny Starr? He is the right wing mole who tried to portray the Bill and Monica affair as the worst thing that ever happened to America.
In his new role he is busy defending a couple of sexual predators.

I guess that after working for the GOP this is actually a step up.

Follow the bouncing ball

Or as they say in politics, follow the loot. William Winkenwerder Jr., worked for the Bush crime family from 2001 until earlier this year. After leaving he got a job in the real world.
This should come under, one hand washing another. The company that provided him with his new job, Logistics Health Inc., then got a government contract worth 790 million dollars.

Jimmy Carter has been in the news

President Carter did not have the greatest run as president. Some things can be blamed on him, others just happened when he was president. The hostage situation was a bad time for America but the only thing he could have done differently was to go to war with Iran.Even that would not have guarenteed the safe return of all or even any of the hostages.
We should never forget the Camp David Accords. It was a peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. Will it last forever, I don't know. It has lasted for almost 30 years. It shows that if you have three state leaders who are actually interested in peace, great things can be accomplished. Remember Mr Sadat paid for the peace with his lfe.

Just a local story

Alright, this story really bothered me.I think the term dirtbag is appropriate. First this guy tried to kill his unborn child, then threatened to kill the mother and child. For some reason he can't be sentenced to more than 18 months in prison.
This guy could spend the time reflecting on how fortunate he is. This woman was willing to put up with him and to bear his child. Doubt if that will happen.
The sad part of this story and others like it accross the nation? It would be how desperate some people are to have someone in their lives, even someone who is worthless.
Nowhere did I call this guy a man. That would be an insult to men.
I don't believe in posting other peoples stories, only links to them, but in this case I will make an exception, because our local paper only archieves for 21 days.

LISBON — An East Palestine-area man avoided going to trial by pleading guilty to beating his pregnant girlfriend in an attempt to terminate the pregnancy.Chad R. Null, 26, of state Route 170, pleaded guilty as charged to attempted involuntary manslaughter during a hearing Friday in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court. He had been scheduled to go on trial Tuesday.As part of the plea bargain, the county prosecutor’s office agreed to drop a domestic violence charge related to the same incident and a second domestic violence charge filed last month in county municipal court.Null is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 17, and the prosecutor’s office is recommending he be sentenced to six months in a state prison. The charge carries a maximum possible sentence of 18 months in prison.Assistant County Prosecutor Tim McNicol said he offered the plea deal because Null’s girlfriend, Nicole J. Boles, was standing by her man, making her a possibly unreliable witness should the matter have gone to trial.“I think it’s fair to characterize her as uncooperative. She still wants to continue the relationship,” McNicol said, adding, “I see this all the time.”Null admitted to punching the pregnant Boles twice in the stomach on Dec. 20. He reportedly told Boles, “I hope I killed the baby. If I didn’t, the next time I’ll hit you twice as hard.”In addition, Null reportedly dragged Boles around the house by her hair, slammed her head off the bed frame and grabbed her by the face. He also supposedly told her not to worry about child support because if the baby survived he could kill her and the child.Boles later gave birth to a boy, and despite all of what occurred, she asked the charges be dismissed because she wanted Null to be part of their son’s life.When that didn’t happen, Boles asked a no-contact court order in place be modified so Null could drive her to and from doctor appointments. With great reluctance, Judge C. Ashley Pike granted the request, provided a third-party was present.This order was violated on Sept. 24, when Null was charged with domestic violence for reportedly kicking Boles under the chin because she wasn’t fastening the laces on his work boots fast enough to please him.During yesterday’s hearing, Boles again asked the no-contact restriction be lifted so she and Null “can raise (our son) together.”McNicol objected. “At this point, I just don’t think it’s a good idea, your honor,” he said.Judge Pike agreed, and left the no-contact order in place, which allows Null to visit his infant son but only when a third party is present.

Killed out of love and the NRA

Murdering someone is a strange way of saying, I love you.
No links, you can find the Wisconsin story on any news site.

I am old enough to remember when the NRA was an organization to protect the rights of legal and responsible gun owners.
Folks, that is way in the past.
Now the NRA is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the gun industry. They go out of their way to make sure that criminals and others not entitled to legally own a gun, have free and easy access to all of the guns they want. Then they use these people as advertisements to sell more guns to legal gun owners. I only call this disgraceful and dispecible because it is the nicest terms I can come up with

Thieves, killers, and Blackwater

What's the difference you might ask?
Well, there basically isn't any, only the stories change.

So this guy steals a couple of billion meant for rebuilding Iraq(US taxpayer money, I may add), he is broken out of jail by Blackwater merceneries and now lives in the US.
Not in jail, now on trial, or even under indictment, just as another US billionaire.
Making money the old fashioned way, stealing it.
http://www.buzzflash.net/story.php?id=27090
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2007/10/bwater.html

Blackwater employee, commits a murder, gets sent home(what a punishment), is then hired by another security company and goes right back to Iraq.
If you are a killer somebody is always willing to pay for your services.http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6975731,00.html

Corruption, who cares. Apparently not our chickenhawk-in-chief.
On Thursday, former Judge Radhi al-Radhi, Iraq's top anticorruption official until he was recently forced out by the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, appeared before the House government oversight committee and described what had become of people who had worked for him at the Commission on Public Integrity as they investigated crime and fraud within the Iraqi government:
Thirty-one employees have been killed as well as at least twelve family members. http://alternet.org/waroniraq/64501/

ORU, Old Republican U.

Maybe this should come under, Lifestyles of the rich and famous phony Christians.
There is just no way that these kind of groups should get their loot tax free.

Now if this isn't the stupidest statement,"San Antonio televangelist John Hagee, a member of the ORU board of regents, said the university's executive board "is conducting a full and thorough investigation.".
So they will investigate themselves.

FREE BURMA

FREE BURMA is the thought for this day.
While you are at it, never forget Tibet.

Burma, well guess what?

Burma(Myanmar) would be a perfect opportunity for Condi Rice to actually do something that might not be a direct benefit for the Bush administration. So far in her term she has played the political version of Cap't Dunsel, she shows up for a photo-op then runs away. Now we know why. Dick Cheney's former(ha ha former) company has monetary interests in Burma. It is in their best interest to keep the totaliarian government in power and the populace in their place.
There is nothing this administration won't do for loot.

halliburtonwatch is a great resource for keeping track of this company that wants to loot the American treasury.

William Kristol hates children

Alright, not all children. Just those who are not smart enough to be born into wealthy families.
You don't have to create stories about these kooks, just let them speak and they will destroy themselves.

Wm. Kristol
**First of all, whenever I hear anything described as a heartless assault on our children, I tend to think it’s a good idea. I’m happy that the President’s willing to do something bad for the kids.**
