"Teflon" Tom and "Beat Around The" Bush

So while I was sitting in the car as my mom drove me back to the bus station yesterday afternoon, it was reported on the news that the LA Times had a story about our favotire hypocrite Tom DeLay's own Terry Schiavo moment. 17 years ago, his father was on his last legs, and it was decided that his father would "not want to live this way" hence his feeding tube was removed and his father was allowed to die with dignity. And where did the LA Times get this info? From DeLay's MOTHER.

IN THE MEANTIME...this again is pretty much all going to be yet another thrilling edition of "things George doesn't want to hear"..

SUCH AS...a CBS poll marked how %82 of folks think the government should not have gotten involved with the Schiavo case. Also, in the week since George GOT involved his approval ratings dropped from %52 to %46.

Newsweek has an article, the title of which should bring up flashbacks of another corrupt administration: "Follow The Money". This one is about how while there are watchdog groups tracking fraud-laden contractors in Iraq, the administration is turning a blind eye and not supporting those trying to sue and get lost tax-payer dollars back. (cough-Halliburton-cough-Cheney-cough)

And speaking of Bush not necessarily putting the country first...a commentator on CBS mentioned how this particular Administration seems to be for State's Rights until those rights don't appeal to them. Well, Texas, yes, TEXAS is trying to sue the President for trying to intervene in a death penalty case which he has decided to use for political purposes (sound familiar?), thinking "he's messin' with Texas!"

We've known that since he's been part of the administration, Karl Rove is indeed, an evil genius, his black shadow spreading slowly yet steadily over the nation and the White House over the last four years and 3 months. But nothing was like seeing the Quote of the Day in the New York Times today, to confirm it all: "All roads lead to Karl Rove"- Kenneth J. Duberstein, Republican lobbyist. (can you just hear the "Bwa-HA-HA!")

And speaking of Rove's evil shadow, this story just killed me. There are science museums, mostly down south, who are not showing certain IMAX movies because they are afraid of offending fundamentalist Christians with, you know, SCIENCE...the dumbing down of America continues...

and speaking of people trying to spread that reach...The FCC's Kevin J. Martin, may be out to take a big black marker to cable scripts as well (I'm the sure the Deadwood writers have one word for him and the FCC: "Cocksucker!")

And just when Bush thought he had a friend in Gerhard Schroder, Schroder goes and does this thing that you think Bush might try here. He's asking companies in Germany to stop outsourcing and create jobs here in the US. Go figure...

So while you ponder whether or not George might actually take a hint from Schroder, KEEP E-MAILING!!!! E-mail, call, write, fax your friends and family, the press, and your COngressfolk and let them know that you are paying attention!!! And as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex

PS I just have to add a big old THANK YOU to the folks who came out to what was essentially my solo Carnegie Weill Hall debut this weekend. I was part of a student showcase, sang two arias and managed to not to throw up on stage. Here's to getting my own recital at Weill Hall, woo hoo!
