Maybe so. He asked if he could call me, and I looked at him funny. I don't think that's such a good idea...although he is cute...wait, bad idea, all around.

Assistant to Rep. Ney Subpoenaed in Probe
3 Aides to Leave Republican's Staff
Associated Press
Friday, June 30, 2006; Page A19
An aide to embattled Rep. Robert W. Ney has been subpoenaed in the Justice Department's investigation of influence peddling in Congress, and three other aides are leaving the Ohio Republican's staff, Ney's spokesman said yesterday.
The subpoena for Matthew Parker, director of Ney's congressional district office, was issued by a federal magistrate in Washington.

Vicki
I read last year in Looking South, the online journal of southern politics, that the fastest growing denomination in the south is Catholicism. Otherwise, I agree that it is the LDS. That's been my understanding for the country as a whole, and I believe it is the single largest American export.
Aren't you proud?

I love those cats! They seem to get along so well.
If you work 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, at the minimum wage, you earn $10,700 a year. Wonder why Congress needs a raise and these folks don't.

'Cosby: Live' soon
dead at MSNBC
Rita Cosby
MSNBC personality Rita Cosby yesterday went from the floodwaters of Pennsylvania into the fire of 30 Rock.
After a grueling nine-hour meeting involving Cosby, her agent and top NBC News and MSNBC execs, the third-rated cable news network announced that her weeknight show, "Rita Cosby: Live & Direct," will be canceled in early July.
Instead she'll be the "primary anchor" of "MSNBC Investigates," a taped documentary program that will air at 10 and 11 p.m. She'll also lead a "Rita Cosby Specials" documentary unit, according to an MSNBC press release.
Cosby - who rushed back after anchoring her Wednesday night show in knee-deep water in Yardley, Pa. - told me she's pleased with her new gig, which initially will give her less nightly on-air presence than she enjoys now.
We just lost our oldest kitty this week. She came home badly beaten up, maybe hit by a car, developed infection, I had to take her to the vets for euthanizing. Bye to Mad Maxine. I wrote a song for her that will be on my next CD.

And jac, I think Ralphie Reed will lose. Just a gut thing, but I think he loses. He's embroiled in some fundraising trouble at the moment.
But once you are in the LDS church, they make it extremely unpleasant to leave. And they incorporate all your dead ancestors, are they counting those?
I've met many ex-LDSers who keep quiet about the fact they've left the church.

yeah, it's the red couch and the freindship of wiley and gizmo makes em interesting. as cats mature together they don't always remain so freindly.
Atrios, I realized you have already used your Wanker of the Day up, but this is simply amazing. Graceland joined Yalta in the annals of U.S. history with a visit today by President Bush and Japan's leader.
Yep, exactly the same as Yalta. No difference whatsoever. Wankers.

i wonder if Atrios knows his cat shares his name with a British Grime Rapper/Producer
Wiley, real name Richard Cowie is a British rapper/producer from Bow, East London. He has made many releases, solo, and as part of groups, sometimes using aliases. Wiley claims to have created his own musical genre, which he calls "Eski", and which is largely associated with the Grime genre. "Eskimo", from which the genre takes its name, is probably the best known Eski track. Wiley was also a founding member of the Roll Deep crew. They released their debut album "In At The Deep End" in 2005 which has been certified silver (60,000+ sales), with two singles making the UK Top 40.

*shudder* I just got back from ATL (Cobb County specifically) and one thing I noticed about Ralph Reed's lawn signs was that they look a lot like Kerry Edwards signs from 2004.
But I think that part of the whole Voter ID law is to get rid of some of the minority and elderly voters to offset those he's lost because of his Abramoff ties.

Vicki
From your lips . . .
Casey Cagle has run a great campaign, mainly because his staff are all ex-Reed employees, and know how Reed thinks.
I was at a fundraiser for Cagle earlier this week, and they have polling showing Cagle up by 6-10 points. But other polls taken this week show him down by 2-4 points.
Reed's base voters are very disciplined, and they will turn out. We'll see.
The Democratic winner will be Jim Martin. Jim was my state representative before he moved into Roy Barnes' administration. He lives in the neighborhood, and is a great guy. And strangely enough, polls show him beating Reed.
I hope. I truly do.

Hecate, my first real job paid $2.92 and hour. I banked $50 and did whatever we wanted to with the rest. Being first married it seemed amazing to have enough money to pay the rent and everything.
Times have certainly changed. I am not calling conspiracy but it is my honest (if mistaken) belief that inflation is a lot worse than my government says. Of course I would not trust them to tell me if it is raining. I would have to check.)
Ron, sorry to hear about your feline buddy's demise.
Someone made a point on the local Thom Hartmann show last week about Sen. Smith voting against the minimum wage to "protect business." T
The minimum wage in Oregon is $7.50. So using Smith's own logic, he is making Oregon-based businesses less competitive by voting against the national minimum wage.
The attacks on the press are part of a political effort by administration officials to use terrorism to divide America, and to scare their supporters to the polls again this year.
seriously, i hope the hell voters wake up and make the bushies pay, because they gave osama exactly what he wanted.

Moonbootica, I am pretty sure that GWPDA or even Arthur GWPDA knows more of this than I do but the conference between the Allies at Yalta was to prosecute WWII. This "conference" was a photo-op with the admittedly Elvis crazy PM of Japan. Not exactly the same thing.

Josh has done a pretty good job following Little Ralphie. Steve Benen at The Carpetbagger Report has covered him well, too.
But it doesn't look like the Abramoff ties are going to result in an indictment. And Reed's voters are the prototype "liberal media" believers who will not believe anything negative about him.

For some reason that reminded me of the video of the video of Pam poking her finger in her mouth while with her other hand she makes "koo koo" motions at her head.
That was classic. That and when her child says, "I think...." and Pam interrupts and says "I'll tell you what you think!"

Speaking of Hartmann, Erin, did you see this? Hartmann beats Limbaugh, O'Reilly in ratings!"
If you have the good fortune to receive Thom Hartmann's broadcasts in your area, please tune in. It's nothing like the "other" side. Hartmann is an intelligent, thoughtful man who gives a damn about the Constitution and the state of our nation, and he is a true voice of reason. You'll walk away pleasantly surprised after you listen to him compared to the right wing, bloviating gas bags that have dominated talk radio for far too long.
Democrats should use the argument that raising the minimum wage and enforcing it would reduce the number of illegal immigrants.
I made $1.89 an hour back in '72. Because my rent was $90 a month, gas was about 35 cents a gallon and food was cheap--and there wasn't so much shit to buy--I got along okay.

And Reed's voters are the prototype "liberal media" believers who will not believe anything negative about him.
Actually, I'm going to dispute that. Whilel surely some Ralphie supporters are of the Kool-Aid drinking TFM ilk, they aren't all like that. And he's getting it from both sides now, Dems and Repukes are keeping his Abramoff ties in the headlines. I don't think he stands a chance.
