Hey y'all!
JS reports that Governor Walker has set up a legal defense fund. That makes things even more interesting. Too bad for Walker, the criminal defense lawyers won't perform pro bono. Or will they? His office said that the funds would pay for John Doe expenses.
The People's Legislature will convene on March 25 (a Sunday) to explore the Tin Cup Movement. We have invited all statewide candidates as well as the candidates involved in the Senate recalls. Two of the gubernatorial candidates have accepted and will be at the session. See you there!
Here is a new wrinkle in campaign skulduggery. The Republican lieutenant governor in South Carolina plead guilty to spending campaign funds on personal expenses. That's not new. What is new? He fabricated donations to make it appear that there was a groundswell of political support, He lied about $162,500 in factious donations!
He was sentenced immediately to 300 hours of community service, a $5,000 fine and 5 years probation. Talk about getting off easy! Wonder if campaign work is community service? He could lick a lot of envelopes in 300 hours.
Forty seven years since the Selma-to-Montgomery march. Time flies, but racism hangs around. The photo ID voter suppression efforts mock the brave people who marched the 54 miles. Let's hope other states follow the lead of Judge Flanagan and declare the photo ID unconstitutional.
Romney claims he can talk southern (y'all) and eat grits. Let me warn him, grits multiply on your plate right in front of you. Nobody from Michigan eats grits!
The Pope is angry. Lookout Catholics! It is election time and the Church will be busy, busy. He warned us about the the powerful gay marriage lobby in America. He warned that more needs to be done to persuade Catholics to discover the value of chastity. No more cohabitation. No more pre-marital sex. He was silent about pedophilia and the closing of parishes because of the loss of priests. He did not offer to pay taxes on property held by the Vatican.
On Joy Cardin's "Week in Review" yesterday with Dave Blaska, Blaska defended Limbaugh and blamed the Georgetown law student for setting a trap for the GOP. If so, she did a hell of a job! I am so outraged by the "slut and prostitute" claim that I think the election might have been decided by Newt, Romney, Santorum, and GOP leader Rush Limbaugh. If these guys cannot figure out a response other than blaming the victim, they should get a drubbing in November.
