Truth In Advertising
NOTE: I've just come out from under an extremely taxing last few months, where I simply haven't had the time to post. Even though there's been plenty that I've yelled at the screen about in that time. But, I'm back and should be posting on a more consistent basis.0 comments

This AP story is a beaut:
DeLay Rep Says Boss Not Swayed by Donors
Then what were they paying ALL THAT CASH for?
Geeeeeeesh...
That's FRAUD, Mr. Bugbasher!
I know that Tom DeLay's flack means well and is trying to keep the boss happy by making him look good over a sad holiday time in the DeLay household and all, but if this release is accurate, soon-to-be-Citizen DeLay stands open to a raft of lawsuits by his slew of money-supplying folks charging bald, blatant fraud. Actually, if true, lawsuits would be his best-case-scenario.
Poor Tom.
Hanging onto his precious skin would seem a harder task than holding onto any last vestige of power within the House of Representatives.
He doesn't quite seem to be noticing this part yet.
Of course, their lawyers will counsel these various groups against filing suit, charging that their bribery dollars did not receive adequate return. But all these folks Tom cavorted with know various and sundry ways to adjudicate disputes.
These people all seem to have paid millions in good faith, fully expecting to receive services rendered. If Tom is now saying he never had any intention of supplying Congressional influence after he took the cash, he may end up with much bigger problems than he's faced so far.
Let's see...
Russian oil men with Russian Mafia connections can most likely be expected to put a hit out on ol' Tom. These guys tend not to miss. Very bad guys to cross, Tom. Think Russian Bear, Cold War, all that.
Dozens of Native American tribes can be counted on to look for revenge on one of the most Forked-Tongued White Men we currently have to offer.
From the Mariana Islands, it's still unclear whether DeLay would face a stiffer threat from either the now-desperate and frantic textile shop owners who paid him all that cash for no return plus a ruinous ton of negative worldwide exposure they never planned on, or from the hundreds of wretched human beings his promises of influence helped to subjugate in sub-human, near-slave conditions.
It's nice to see that you've been able to bring all these people together, Tom, even if it's as ex-friends.
Who knew your International skills were as sharp as your Domestic ones?
But, um... fraud always tends to make people cranky, Tom.
No matter where in the world they're from.
Good luck, buckeroo!
