[AGL] Re: the blame game and other issues that need attention

[Frances Morey]

Beverly, et al,
This afternoon I heard a five minute snippits of Jon Daily's Show on the internet at daily.com where they had capsulized segments from the last few shows with cuts from public utterances of different officials juxtaposed to show how certain phrases and buzz words, like "blame game" and "processes" used over and over again as though directed by Rove and the boys. 
I took care of Henry and Mary while Mike and Suzanne were in Erie. When they got back Mike and I watched some of the Daily show since I don't have cable and it is priceless. I'm only sorry that it has to be on cable, like Bill Maher on HBO. This highly critical liberal commentary is only available to the moneyed people who have cable. You need a high speed connection to get it streaming in on the internet.
Next week there are two demonstrations: One by Planned Parenthood protesting the John Roberts appointment Monday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and Hot Pink is the color of the day. There will be Burma Shave style signs supplied to participants. 
The second one is Wednesday, at 5:30 p.m., at the governor's mansion on Lavaca, (across the street from the mansion) devoted to an outcry against the scheduled execution of an innocent woman from Houston. Her name is Frances Newman. The convicting evidence, slim as it was, came from the notoriously careless Houston Crime Lab which was discovered to have so much slipshod bungling that that alone should be enough for the governor to declare a moratorium on executions in Texas. Over half of all capitol convictions come from Harris County.
Thanks for sending that fine letter to our Senator. I sent one to the other one, suggesting that she back off on Roberts if she likes the idea of getting re-elected, in more polite terms, of course. I suggested that it is time to abandon the BushCo ship of state, which is taking on brine...
BTW, remember that gay blade who acted as journalist in the White House Press Room--he was also, curiously enough, the one who blew the whistle on Dan Rather's slightly flawed expose on Dubya's service, ur, dis-service record.

To the Honorable Mr. Doggett:

What did I just hear?  That now the story is going to be that Mike Brown may have padded his resume?   Wait a second.  How can anyone pad his resume to apply for the directorship of FEMA?  What happened to due diligence and background check?  Bush knew exactly what Mike Brown's employment experience was.  He didn't care.  It was just yet another example of the way he has always brought people into his administrations - cronyism.  Extremely important positions are filled based on loyalty not skill.  It has happened time after time and it's about time it got talked about up front.  So this is how he is going to shed the blame - another of his patterns - don't ever accept responsibility, it is always someone else's fault.
