What the h*ll is wrong with these people? The more sanctimonious they are, the more they talk about family values, the more they talk about gay marriage being a threat to straight marriage, the more likely you'll find them in a sandwich with two hookers -- one gay, one straight. Mote, beam, etc.

"State Rep. Bob Allen, a co-chair of Republican presidential candidate John McCain's Florida campaign, is expected to address Thursday charges that he offered to perform oral sex on an undercover male police officer for $20.".........I'm sure 'Rep. Bob' will have a whole mouthful to say....

When it rains...

Jeff, New York, NY — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 20:02:49 GMT

I think the AP quote is incorrect; Allen offered to pay $20 to perform oral sex, not perform oral sex for $20. Re his public sex bill, he is quoted as saying that it will make us safe by locking up the sex offender. If I had my druthers, we'd throw away the key to Rep. Allen's cell.

"TRENTON, N.J. -- The state Senate now has two Democrats facing federal corruption charges _ the men who directed the influential Senate budget panel for more than two years as chairman and vice chairman.

Sen. Sharpe James, a former Newark mayor, was indicted Thursday on charges he used Newark credit cards to spend lavishly on himself, eight women and others on trips and vacations and for approving cut-rate deals to sell city land to a female companion.

If (God forbid!) McCain got to be president, he'll make incredibly horrible decisions as to cabinet and staff. This guy obviously doesn't know a friminal from a prospective caginet member. That alone (let's forget his boosterism for Idiot Emeperor's war) should make people vote for anybody but him.

HP and Paul, uh oh, I do all the yardwork and mowing around here. Is that the real reason he gave me the piano? The grass is getting kinda high so I better get out there.

TJB, I better stay out of politics since I can't even figure out why I received the piano.

No thanks, Sideshow Bob. I would lose my job as a church musician if I become that kind of lady. There is an old pump organ at the little country church up the road and it's great fun to play. When I get tired of pumping the foot pedals, the deacon will send a healthy young man from out of the congregation to work the bellows apparatus on the back of the instrument. From where I'm sitting on the bench I cannot observe the young man working away, but the ladies in the choir sure get distracted (and one tenor who claims it's his asthmna acting up). Guess I'll go practice the piano now.

There's a couple of politicians that attend my church...hmmmm, is that why we have to re-do the tuck pointing on the bricks so frequently?
