DeLay's Resignation: What...Me Worry?

As difficult as this decision has been for me, it’s not going to be a great day for liberal Democrats, either.

My loyalty to the Republican Party — indeed, my love for the Republican Party — has played no small part in this decision.

Having served under Republican and Democrat control in the House, I know first hand how important it is for Republicans to maintain their national majority. A Democrat Congress in 2007 would, without doubt or remorse, raise hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, summarily cut and run from the war on terror, and immediately initiate an unconstitutional impeachment of President Bush.

Taxes? Probably...Gotta get this deficit down somehow, and I don't think waiting for Armageddon to wipe it out is gonna work.

Cut and run? Maybe from Iraq, but not from the war on terror. Someone has to do it, and since Bush "just (doesn't) give (it) much thought" it sure ain't gonna be the Republicans.

Impeachment? Oh, how I hope so. Unconstitutional? I laugh! Oh, Hypocracy, thy name is Republican.

Note that he is moving to his "Virginia property and reside closer to Washington, so that I can dedicate the necessary time and energy to making a successful transition from the public to private sectors..." Brave Tom...bouncing back from undeserved assault, determined to make a go of it. What a hero. Hmmm...private sector? Can you say "lobbyist"?

Hey, leave me alone! I said , "uhhh, this is a town...of, uhh, that, uhhh...where a lot of people leak!"

Don't miss William Rivers Pitt in Truthout on this!

And if you don't go there, I love this quote from the article:

Is there not some chosen curse,
Some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven,
Red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man
Who owes his greatness to his country's ruin?

- Joseph Addison

I'm baaack!

Hi, folks (if anyone is still bothering to check the site!)

I am soooo embarrassed! After years of neglect, I finally reinstalled Windows. I did a pretty good data backup, but missed a couple things, like Mozilla's Form Manager and Password files. And like being certain I had the program for my password utility (I had the encrypted data file, but not the program!)

Short story, I did a password recovery on TypePad, but the password didn't work. We've been going back and forth for three weeks now. Then Carla in customer service somehow figured out that my password was the one they sent me, but with two spaces after it!! Good work, folks!

So here I am again, overflowing with vitriol, and frustration that I haven't been able to bitch about Delay, the "Real Leaker," et. al. Watch this space!
