Congressional districts AFTER the supreme court made them re-draw everything |
I would encourage you to look up and compare maps created by Democrats when they owned the House in Texas and you would see many similarities of boundaries drawn to protect seats and maintain party alignment in certain districts.
The bald truth is that the party that controls the house when redistricting occurs “writes the rules”.

Five years ago, many people died from getting letters with antrax in them, but now the FBI has stopped looking for the terrorists who sent them. Why? Who told them not to give this their full attention five years ago or more recently.

Daschle: Still unprepared 5 years after anthrax attacks
Tom Daschle, FORMER U.S. SENATE MAJORITY LEADER
Tuesday, October 17, 2006Oct. 15, 2001, is a day I’ll never forget. On that day, one of my staff members opened an anthrax-laced letter addressed to me, and my office became a part of the deadliest bioterrorism attack in U.S. history. Anthrax was also sent through the mail to a number of other people and organizations — the National Enquirer, the New York Post, broadcaster Tom Brokaw and Sen. Pat Leahy of Vermont. These attacks killed five people, injured 17 others, disrupted operations all over Capitol Hill and alarmed an entire nation.
Twenty-eight people, including 20 on my staff, tested positive for anthrax exposure. Though they were spared the horror of the disease, I am reminded every day that the families and friends of five others were not so lucky.
CLICK HERE for the rest of the op-ed.
Bush’s claim that there have been no terrorist attacks since 9/11 is a clear lie since he keeps forgetting to add this attack. And it WAS an attack.
Be well.
Blessed Be

Well, this IS getting interesting, don’t you think???
The first ACTUAL controversy in my blog. COOL!
The original column can be found here.
politics arent always what they seem???well, in this case, politics is EXACTLY what it seems to be . fayette county is EAT UP with democrats. here is you a little challenge agnes, ratios????tell me the dems to republican ration in fayette.
you HAD one good delegate..tom louisis, he voted AGAIST your democratic party and voted to REMOVE the food tax.. he voted to NOT add 5 cents a gallon gas tax onto our already rediculously high tax on there.
and yall voted him out! talk about voting against your own best interests.
and people who disagree have to find you here to debate with you. you BAN all people with differing opinions from your message board that now has 4 participants and the chat room.
yes…your reading this right,agnes, wants to debate and have people call, but they ban them in the message and chat room.
LOL…maybe they ban because they want to be able to say things like above and get by with it.
i think this can be a real learning experience for our friend with this blog,she can see first hand what a “double standard” is and what “twisting the truth” is as well.
google “fayette county west virginia election reults”

I don’t trust the federal government anymore, and I am not sure I should trust my local government. What do you think? Would you drink the water? Think they want us to buy bottled water?

Austin’s funky water OK to drink
Updated: 10/12/2006 2:38:46 PM
By: News 8 Austin Staff
People in Austin might notice an unusual taste or color in their tap water. The Austin Water Utility says the water is completely safe.
A similar taste fluctuation happened two years ago. It’s due to an increase in the amount of blue-green algae in the city’s raw water supply.
The city’s trying to neutralize the compounds that cause the unusual taste and odor.

Why is it so hard for liberals to talk about religion?
In the political chat rooms where I hang out, most of the people seem to HATE religion and hate anyone that follows a religion. Where is our tolerance?
I listen to Air America Radio a lot, and more to Head On Radio, where the hosts and the chatters make fun of people who believe in “the invisible”.
The only show on Air America where it is OK to have faith in God or to practice any religion is State of Belief, and it is only on for one hour a week.
I think that a lot of the fundamentalists have it wrong when they judge gays or women that had an abortion, but I think liberals get it wrong too when they judge anyone with a religion as being fooled or misguided. Faith is important and it is way older than than the republican party or the megachurches or Pat Robertson.
Maybe it is time to stop judging at all?

Today I met 500 or so (maybe more) other people at the WORLD CAN’T WAIT rally at my state’s capitol. Cool rally, fun people, boring speeches, but look at what the local news headlines are:

Feral hogs? Dancers? Yuck!
Why isn’t the rally on on there?
Any ideas?

We teenagers sometimes flirt with adults, but we don’t want them to flirt back. We don’t want anyone to ask us about our underwear and we don’t want to tell anyone if we masturbate or how often. We want to trust the adults in our lives to let us be kids and not sex objects. We want to explore our bodies with ourselves or with another teen that we love, or maybe we want to wait. We don’t want adults pushing us into anything and we don’t want the icky feeling in our bellies that comes from an adult making us feel uncomfortable about our bodies or our sexuality.
We want to trust our parents and guardians and teachers and coaches. We need all of y’all to help us grow up. Please give us straight answers if we ask questions about sex, but please don’t make us part of your sexuality. That’s not what we are about.
One more thing. A lot of us like listening to political talk shows and don’t want to hear all the details of this all the time for days and days. It’s great to hear about how this congressman changed his story or that one is lying, but PLEASE, no more about Foley asking those boys to measure their penises. YUCK!
When can we go back to talking about electronic voting and Iraq and Iran and North Korea’s bombs?
Thanks,
Freckles
