A Christian Liberal is NOT an oxymoron.

The Carlyle Group discovers what it’s like to have your assets seized.

Gerard Geraldine Ferraro has resigned from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Which is news in and of itself because how can you resign from a position you claim to never had had? Mrs. Ferraro’s pettiness isn’t winning any new friends - can we get her into a Dale Carnegie course, ex post facto?

The National GOP may have to dig a little deeper in the fundraising hill after their treasurer “allegedly” ripped them off:

The quiet workaholic is listed as treasurer for 83 GOP fundraising committees over the past eight years, according to Federal Election Commission records. In the past five years alone, he oversaw the accounting for committees that raised more than $400 million, $368 million of it at the National Republican Congressional Committee, according to a Washington Post review of those records.

But in late January, Ward, 39, was dismissed as the NRCC announced that it had found financial “irregularities” that “may include fraud.” The FBI is investigating what appears to be “a significant amount of money” missing from the House Republican fundraising arm, according to a law enforcement official.

Why is it looking more and more like the “Republican Revolution” was nothing more than a bunch of nut-monkeys swinging on the short and tinies of a few goombas?

Convicted on 143 counts of sex crimes with children. I’m beyond horrified. Beyond speechless. The defense says that video shows testimony “of a person who is not right.” No kidding. What about his 23 MONTH OLD victim. There is no justice for such crimes.

Even the Dallas Morning News noticed that the Bush Administration can’t even clamp down on air pollution right. How hard is it to say, “Polluting the air kills people, and that ain’t right.” Paging Forrest Gump…

Opinion
Will the next VEEP come from Ohio? Not for Republicans.

The Rich White Man’s Club - aka, the US Senate - is debating the federal estate tax. The House of Reps is trying to resurrect Congressional ethics. And immigration is destroying the country - well, actually, the knee-jerk reaction against immigration is.

The old Army/Navy rivalry rears its head. Journalists need protection too. And, as it turns out, you do not have a right to make your kids stupid.

Let’s see - with abstinence only “education” (something pretty much every parent in history has attempted) one-in-four teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease - maybe it’s time we pulled our heads out of our…”sand”holes.

The veto of anti-torture legislation seals Bush’s legacy. There is simply no room for argument here - if you are not against torture; then you are evil.

The Chron thinks we can not drive down oil prices - what about China and India, are they going to stall their economies too? Maybe we should just, you, know, invest in public transport and alternate fuels.

Is Eliot Spitzer’s downfall another example of political orchestration? I doubt it, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t doing a lot of good when he wasn’t boinking everyone but Silda.
