Chip off the old block
Patrick Kennedy said he was given no special treatment from Capitol police after his "prescription medication-caused" mishap.
Right. He was treated just like any other member of the family.
North Carolina's expected budget surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30 has risen to $2 billion. Why do I get the feeling that's money already spent?
The Charlotte Observer gave John Blust some space this week to lay out his proposals for ethics reforms. Only a rumor that Jim Black canceled his subscription.
The Hendersonville Times-News sticks up for Charles Taylor. The congressman's handling of the Flight 93 memorial was never as simple as most media portrayed it.
There must be some slow learners at Duke. A student there claims she was raped by a fellow student after a alcohol-and-drug party that featured a marijuana vaporizer.
So, what's the current score on the city council lie-detector tests?
Eric Swenson reports it's six pass, two won't say and one incomplete.
What was the question again?

The Boston Herald reports that according to a hostess at the Hawk & Dove, a favorite DC watering hole, Rep. Kennedy tossed down a few drinks prior to his crash.
His excuse is losing credibility.

He might have had a prescription for those drinks. My Irish grandmother always said her family only used liquor for medicinal purposes.

On the lie-dectector test: It seems one has played the race card. What else was expected? Hopefully ,but the hope is probably in vain, someone on the council will trump that card.

Just got word on Drudge that Patrick is going into rehab at the MAYO Clinic for addiction & depression, again.
Hope he conquers his problem.

What was the question again?* Doug
And Bush along with the Repubs said the econ was great with new jobs and business profits soaring today!
Translation: And Bush along with the Repubs said the econ was great with new jobs [ over million service jobs added to Taco Bell, McDonalds, the Blackwater group and the Haliburton Group] in the name of Republican success in the market place. Meanwhile business profits soar at Exxon and other Oil companies while the American public wonder if purchasing Gold at it's highest price would reduce the price of gasoline?

Of course Smesley is grinnin like a possum eating persimmions cause the gas prices are high. He has gotten taxes on gas increased and going to do it again in July so the state road fund should be rolling in money made from the high taxes and high gas prices. This should help his cronies to rip off tax payers even more as they transfer the tax into the general fund to be spent for, well who knows. Smesley and his buddies can laugh at the people in the state while they make mega bucks on gas tax and blame it all on Bush. Who by the way has not one damn thing to do with the price of gasoline that Exxon Mobile charges. So much for bull on gas prices.

Wait till Tax Hike Mike gets Cooper to join forces with the other state AGs to go after Big Oil like they went after Big Tobacco.
Just think of the kind of money they cought to be able to extort from the oil barons in the righteous quest to "relieve the the working man's burden" of high gas prices.
They can then put their oil windfall in with their "education lottery" windfall to spend on new and even more inventive things.
By the way, the latest from Mike is that he has promised to "freeze" the gas tax. That means it just won't go up this July with a new "adjustment". Nothing about rolling back or eliminating the last increase.
But of course, according to Connie and the Usual Suspects, it will somehow be "All Bush's Fault".

Bubba! How long have you been into the new age Bush repub wiz business about the future?
Is there some other secret political party running Congress and the Prez office that we can blame for the mess that this country is in?
I have warned you a dozen times about this denial issue that you have! At the present rate that you are going, 70% of the American people think you and George need intense therapy to overcome this denial problem!
Can I expect you to attend the next political therapy session or will I have to have Homeland Security pick you up without a warrent to solve this problem in Gitgo Cuba?
