TOM DELAY INDICTED Woo-Hoo! The bold and brazen, wild-eyed, Republican/Conservative/Christian looney, House majority leader, Texas Tom DeLay, has been indicted. The heavy handed, always smiling, even if an anvil just fell on his foot, DeLay, is facing criminal conspiracy charges concerning fund raising activities. Here's the story, as reported by "The Washington Post."  Visit "The Independent Writer" and have a good laugh on Jim Ippolito Friday, September 23, 2005
WHERE'S ROBERTSON & FALWELL? I'm always glad not to see, and especially hear, the Wrong Reverend Falwell, and particularly the maniacal Robertson. However, these two promulgators of the Christian faith, who jump at every opportunity to appear on TV, have been absent from the airwaves during this time of natural disaster brought about by Hurricane Katrina and now Hurricane Rita. I note that Rosie O'Donnell yesterday contributed 3 million dollars to the relief effort, and she, being a Lesbian, is on both these guy's hate lists. But I haven't heard of so much as a public prayer, which is free, for the Hurricane victims, from either of these guys. What the hell happened to good, old Christian charity? Did these guys misplace their checkbooks? Jeez, one would think that with the tragedy being centered in the deep South, where there are plenty of bible beaters, these guys would at least offer a public prayer service, on air, if they aren't going to pitch a few bucks onto the relief fund collection plate. FEMA announced that it was going to provide mobile homes for the displaced victims and was in need of places on which to put them. The agency specifically asked that churches with land to spare allow some of this housing to be placed on their property. I haven't heard either of these publicity seekers volunteer a few square feet of the back forty for such use, or even encourage the leadership of other Christian organizations to do so. The tax-exempt, Radical Right-Wing, religious looney Robertson is always ready to chime in with his opinions on matters politic, but I'm hearing nothing from him about fundamental Christian teachings such as helping one's neighbors in time of need. Keep in mind that this guy is supposed to be first, a man of the cloth. So far all he's done with his cloth is hide behind it. Bloated, bigoted, big mouth, Falwell has also been conspicuously silent during this time of need. Of course if a report surfaced stating that a Gay was found dead among the rubble of New Orleans, he'd be quick to say that God sent the hurricane to punish him. I guess there's no glamour, or more important, profit, in doing what these guys are supposed to be doing, namely helping people.

TIME TO END THE BULLSHIT Hurricane Katrina has shown us just what's important to the leadership of the USA. The President has made his carefully orchestrated photo ops in the stricken areas and while visiting with the victims he heaped kudos on his appointees for supposedly doing their jobs. This is interesting since the two top dogs in all this, FEMA Director, Michael Brown, and the head of Homeland Security, Michael Jerkoff, oh, that's Chertoff, are about as useful as screen doors on submarines. These two useless appointees did jack shit to ameliorate the potential damage that the storm might wreak and the conditions the victims were forced to endure afterwards. As an example Chertoff was quoted as saying that he was unaware of the conditions in the Superdome because there wasn't a TV set in his office. That's outrageous and probably a lie. Do you mean to tell me that the United States, with satellites capable of reading the fine print on a pack of cigarettes, relies on TV news for intelligence? Do you know what these two clowns did before assuming their respective positions? They're friggin' lawyers! This makes about as much sense as appointing a bricklayer as Surgeon General. If someone applies for a job, any job, the first thing a prospective employer wants to know is what the applicant's education and background is. Not so with political appointees, and that's a disgrace. It would have made more sense to appoint a Boy or Girl Scout Pack Leader to these positions because they at least are versed in basic survival skills. What did we get to head up the agencies that are sworn protect the security of the nation and it's citizens? We got a pair of prevaricating bullshit artists, lawyers, for crissake, which only adds to the insult. Isn't it time that Presidential appointees possess the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the duties of their jobs, the same as like trash collectors e.g.?
