Happenings and Random Thoughts

Assemblyman Alan Tesche filed a resolution to admonish Paul Bauer. Bauer may have violated the city ethics code when he publicly accused Mark Begich of a possible ethics violation where Begich's wife's business may benefit from a road project. Never mind all the other businesses in the area and drivers who won't lose a wheel or axle driving on a road with more holes in it than Larry Craig's excuse that hes not gay!!! A secret memo from Alberto Gonzales to President Bush contradicted a 2004 Justice Department assertion that they find the practice of torture “abhorrent”. Gonzales told President Bush to reassure nervous interrogators who wanted to know: “Are we breaking the laws against torture?”, that since the torture was happening at then secret sites in Afghanistan, Thailand and Eastern Europe that it was OK and the laws and Constitution of the US did not apply. You think it can't happen here? Think again my friends. Pete Kott’s lawyer is asking a judge for a new trial or acquittal. He’s making arguments that already had the jury convicting Kott of conspiracy to solicit financial benefits, extortion, and bribery…and a bad comb-over??? Hillary Clinton promises a science-friendly White House. And we know how much Bill enjoys the field of DNA forensics??? Despite a judge’s ruling that left his guilty plea intact, convicted gay republican Larry Craig says he will serve his remaining 15 months in orifice…I mean office. Side note – Craig’s website had recipes that constituents could download. One of them was for the “Super Tuber”. Ingredients include an Idaho potato, hot dog, and sour cream – Directions -- Wash and dry potato. Rub with shortening or butter. Core out the potato center (end to end). Push hot dog through the center. Bake until potato is cooked through…cover with sour cream…mmmmmm??? And Finally.... Whether it's just a pile of junk left in the wilderness or a pilgrim's shrine, one thing's for sure: Because of Sean Penn’s movie, the abandoned bus where Christopher McCandless starved to death in 1992 is now an eBay commodity. I wouldn’t pay a nickel for that fool’s stuff. Sean Penn I mean…he’s a jack hole???
