Of course it isn't Constitutional. Shelby's grandstanding for the folk back home and to puff up his war chest. You can't simply legislate away the Establishemnt Clause, not to mention that whole "separation of powers" thing that permeates the document.

You miss a lot of shit. At work do people have trouble understanding you?

I had a better opinion of you before I read that post. My subconcious must have a set of blinders. I'm really just trying to see you in the most positive light.

You're trying to see me in the light? RT said she caught you in the dark trying to see her through her bedroom window. Why the diff?

Stepping down from the chair?

I was part of a conference call with Richard Morrison last night, and none of us were THAT optimistic.*

DeLay's power stems from his amazing ability to raise and control money for other Republicans. Until it's clear that he doesn't control the purse strings anymore, not that many Rs are going to make moves against him.

*ETA: There is a lot of hope, though. It was a good call.

And yet, new stuff keeps popping up virtually every day. I think this moves it up to the early fall at least.

So You Won a Pulitzer. Who Cares?

"There's no real science or even fairness behind the picking of winners and losers, with the prizes handed out according to a formula composed of one part log-rolling, two parts merit, three parts 'we owe him one,' and four parts random distribution. "

Oh please. I'm sure they were providing valuable services. (Seriously, I doubt that that will be the straw. Or even a major contributor. I think his daughter is legitimately an event planner, and it looks like nearly half that money went to her business, and not directly to her as payo . . . a payroll expense. If it went to the business, it probably paid for actual goods and services, etc. I may be being some combination of too cynical and not cynical enough, though.)

His daughter ran his campaign last year.

Seems to me that Hillary should step down under this logic as well.

Sweet pea, darling, fucking jackasshole, I was actually more or less defending the payments. Christ. I WENT OUT OF MY WAY to defend actions of a PERSON I LOATHE and you fucking bring up Hilary like the knee-jerk assjack you are.

I was waiting for the part in the article shifter linked to that explained his daughter was 11 years old, but had a killer collection of beanie babies. Oh well, not that easy.

BTW, shifter, I think Ty had that article in mind (i certainly did). He reads today's news yesterday, so he's primed for debate here.

Anytime, dude. Like, sorry to have to impose reality on you - I know it's a bummer.

Way cool avatar man.

See? Next time, don't try coddling up to Club like that.

I didn't do it for that assjacky asshole. I did it in a spirit of, you know, like fairness and shit.

I don't care what his registration card says. He's a fucking R through and through, including all the morality crap.
