FASTING AND PRAYING TO LEAVE TEXAS

ON TOM DELAY

Leaving Texas, dude? Sellout, greed/power monger, low life criminal and bully. Adios, bon voyage and good riddance. You wasted our state for your own personal gain and now you are moving on to Virginia, while fasting and praying for guidance. For what purpose are you praying and fasting? Surely your change of "heart" is not inspired by God but is based upon the personal reality that you must face. Like....your own financial security (you have boatloads of attorney's fees, dude, and therefore you need more gainful employment.) Once again, where the GOP is concerned it is all about the money. Nothing more. Nothing less. And yet, somehow God comes into the mix with money. Go figure....

The mainstream media is abuzz about the DeLay resignation so I won’t comment much except to say that many of us in southeast Texas are dancing in the streets, despite what the mainstream media fantasizes about the blow to Dem contenders here. As usual, the MSM are slow in grasping reality.

I’ve posted some of the best pieces I’ve found on the DeLay resignation today.

Will Rivers Pitt of Truthout.org (see “He’s Gone” below) begins his article with lyrics from a song by the Grateful Dead.


Rat in a drain ditch,
Caught on a limb,
You know better
But I know him.
Like I told you,
What I said,
Steal your face
Right off your head.

Now he's gone, gone,
Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive,
Rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone,
Nothing's gonna bring him back.
He's gone.

- The Grateful Dead, "He's Gone"

REMEMBER BLACKWELL OF OHIO? THE ONE WHO SHUT DOWN A RECOUNT IN 2004? WELL, IT SEEMS THAT HE OWNS STOCK IN DIEBOLD

Of course Blackwell said he didn’t know he owned stock in the company. REALLY!? I guess the devil made his stock broker do it. LS
