TeamBush redux
Go read this about more TeamBush ineptitude in governance. This man, our president, has an MBA. Doesn't that mean, at some point, he took a class on organization, maybe even one on ethics? Good companies don't run well when you put untrained cronies in charge of major projects. True, it may be getting hard to find a good Republican who has sufficient science knowledge, but maybe this should be about finding the best person for a job, not about rewarding political loyalty with a job.

Dismay and disappointment abound. What to do, what to do?

Thanks to Advice Goddess for the link.

Perceptions of government?
So it's not okay for the federal government to make rules about owning machine guns, but it is okay for federal and state governments to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her body?

WTF?

I want a government that is by, for, and of the people. Not just male people.

Whose country is it?
So Tom DeLay gets his way ... he gets a new judge in his monkey money matters trial, and gets to continue to act like a smug Napoleon wanna be.

Now this from Bloomberg news:

DeLay's legal troubles have not hurt his fund-raising efforts. He raised $318,000 for his legal defense fund between July and September, the most ever for a three-month period, including $59,500 from his fellow House Republicans and $45,000 from energy interests. In July, the DeLay-led House passed legislation that included $11.6 billion in subsidies for the energy industry. President George W. Bush signed the bill into law Aug. 8.

If his "fellow House Republicans" have $59,500 to give his legal defense fund, then we're paying them too much money.

Stop the madness! Lobotomies for all who think DeLay's behavior is appropriate to our great experiment in democracy. This should not be business as usual. This should be the petri dish that goes out with the biohazard trash tonight!
