At work in the fields of the Lord

Another hazy, humid summer morning, another story of Republican law-breaking at the highest level of the Bush Crime Family. Not that criminal activity in the Ashcroft/Gonzales Justice Department is exactly a news flash. It isn't. Not that criminal activity in any office infected by George W. Bush and his crew constitutes "breaking news." It doesn't. Criminal activity is the hallmark of this utterly incompetent yet truly dedicated administration. Every federal department, every cabinet post, every regulatory agency, all of it has been polluted, dismantled and shredded after being staffed with Republican activists of the sort who open the door wide to the brand of political corruption the Republican Party has come to define.

The latest "internal investigation" conducted by the Justice Department’s inspector general and its internal ethics office (yawn) has discovered, OH! MY! GOD! Senior aides to former Attorney General (and favorite Bush tejano) Alberto Gonzales broke Civil Service laws by using politics to guide their hiring decisions, picking less-qualified applicants for important nonpolitical positions, slowing the hiring process at critical times and damaging the department’s credibility. At least one federal prosecutor was rejected for a promotion because she was - OH! NO! - suspected of being - YIKES! - a lesbian!!! Another candidate - a Republican lawyer - received a pat on the back and "high marks" at his job interview because he was found to be sufficiently reactionary on the core Conservative wedge issues of "god, guns + gays."

The story in today's NY Times however, focuses on that Good Christian Evangelical and graduate of Pat Robertson's nest of pretend scholars, Regent University, Monica Goodling. Remember Monica? She was a rising star in the movement to turn the U.S. away from the battered remains of a republic and into a bastard combination of Right Wing Christian Insanity and good old Corporate Fascism. Apparently, she loved her job. Jesus, Gonzales and Bush were her guiding lights.

According to Wikipedia's entry for Monica, on March 23, 2007, she took an indefinite leave of absence from her job at Justice. On March 26, 2007, Goodling canceled her upcoming appearance at a Congressional hearing, citing her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. In its history, no Department of Justice employee has ever exercised his/her Fifth Amendment rights with respect to official conduct, and remained an employee. On April 6, 2007, Goodling announced her resignation from the Department of Justice, writing to Gonzales, "May God bless you richly as you continue your service to America." Awwwww . . . that's sweet. "Service to America." Awwwwww . . . But, wait! Fifth Amendment?! What? The Commandment says "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness . . ." Why would a good Christian Woman like Monica find it necessary to invoke secular law? Just tell the truth, MG! God loves you! Just tell the truth! C'mon, MG!

Um . . . no. No truth. Are you kidding?

Wikipedia: On July 28, 2008, a Justice Department report concluded that Goodling had violated federal law and Justice Department policy by discriminating against job applicants who weren't Republican or conservative loyalists. Goodling improperly subjected candidates for certain career positions to the same politically based evaluation she used on candidates for political positions, the report concluded. In one instance, Justice investigators found, Goodling objected to hiring an assistant prosecutor in Washington because judging from his resume, he appeared to be a liberal Democrat. In another, she rejected an experienced terror prosecutor to work on counterterror issues at a Justice Department headquarters office "because of his wife's political affiliations,".In another case, colleagues said that Ms. Goodling blocked the appointment of a female prosecutor in Washington because she "believed the lawyer was involved in a lesbian relationship with her supervisor", according to the report."There was no romantic relationship," said Lisa Banks, the attorney for Ms. Hagan, "but the rumors were pernicious and grew legs, and it cost her the job." Goodling also may face a criminal investigation into her conduct.

Ah, nothing like the righteous zeal of a proper Christian Woman when she's doing The Lord's Work. Can I get an Amen??

Thank you.

And, so it goes. And goes. And goes. Justifying criminal activity when working in the glorious vineyards of The Lord or the loamy fields of Corporate Fascism is always easy for the True Believer. And the Bush Crime Family is nothing if it's not both the collection point and the dumping ground for the miscreants who truly, deeply, madly are dedicated to ending the United States and it's silly-ass rules of self-determination and self-government, all to be replaced with blank, wide-eyed devotion to God and The Dear Leader. Der Lord ist mein Schäferhund, den ich nicht wünsche . . .

4. Here are this week's horoscopes!
Here's mine:
Leo July 23 - August 22
Surprises await Leo around every corner, down several long stretches of highway, and over one rather bumpy off-ramp this week.

104. We're o.k. too.
We're about an hour away; nothing even moved off of the shelves or anything. We just felt a few moments of swaying. Beloved Daughter was downstairs and yelled at the cats to stop running around! I told her it was a 5.4 earthquake or so. She said, "No way!" She was younger when the last one occurred; so, I guess she doesn't remember. We had to turn on the local news.

My friend a few miles away said that her house shook enough to knock a few things off of her beautiful shelves; she was lucky - she didn't lose any of her nice art and carved pieces.

Whew!

:)

Here's my onionscope for today:

Scorpio October 24 - November 21

Shame will be yours this week when you discover that not only were you conceived in the back of your parent's Buick, but that it was filled with a dozen test tubes at the time.

:rofl: My parents really did have a buick. I learned how to drive on it. :rofl:


I am recovering from a root canal today --- gaaack--- but YaaaaaaaY for nitrous oxide!

They used it in a car commercial - "Shoo fly pie and apple pan dowdy makes your eyes light up, your tummy say howdy". Dinah Shore.

77. The shaker of '089, now that was an earthquake!

I worked in SF, took the bus over the bay bridge to home in east bay, and just made before it collapsed. the cats wouldn't come out of the bedroom for 2 weeks, I had to feed them on the ironing bd.

Were you in the East Bay then?

Hope you can get nitrous for your dental visit. It's niiiiiiice

100. Yep - at Oakland Airport (see post below)
I'd brought in a mini-TV to watch the World Series (Oak vs SF), and after they evacuated the terminal we were all standing on the traffic islands where I held up my little 2-inch screen. We saw the aerial coverage of the pancaked freeway and broken bridge, but didn't know exactly where the damage was.

One of those "I'll never forget exactly where I was when it happened" events.

73. Hi alyce! So sweet of you to check up on us today!
The weird thing about an earthquake is that if you feel a significant shaking, you have no idea at the time where the epicenter is. It could be a moderate shake from nearby, or a monster from far away. I was outside the Oakland Airport terminal when Loma Prieta struck in '89. It felt like I was standing on a seesaw. The overhead signs were swinging wildly, and the plate glass windows were bowing in and out. I went into the terminal (I worked for an airline), and the two ticket agents on duty were cowering in the doorway behind the counter. One of them had run right out of her shoes - they were still at her workstation where she'd jumped out of them!

72. And a good evening, Truthseekers.
"I think Hillary dropped a quarter." Way to go, Kathy.

:thumbsup: :rofl:

Can I just say it - from what I see here in CA, the cable news is going bonkers over virtually nothing. I happened to just be parking my car when the earthquake hit, and people walking on the sidewalk just kept on walking as if nothing was happening. To think that "Judge Judy" got pre-empted by some old Cal Tech fuddy duddy irritates me no end.

97. Did you guys see this?!
Queen Elizabeth II Announces She's Pregnant Again

LONDON—Citizens from Northumberland to Hampshire are buzzing with excitement as Queen Elizabeth II, 82, formally announced that she is expecting the arrival of another baby, just 532 months after giving birth to Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

The British monarch and her consort, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, 87, confirmed rumors Tuesday that the queen recently entered her second trimester, and that a little Baron or Baroness of Renfrew is on the way. England's royal couple, who were married in 1947, said they were "absolutely delighted" to be having their first child in more than four decades.

"I'm so thrilled to be pregnant again," said Queen Elizabeth II, who gave birth to her first son shortly after Great Britain granted India its independence. "Prince Philip and I have wanted this for many, many years. The entire United Kingdom has been blessed by this tiny little miracle."

The queen, modeling her maternity robe of state and pulling it tightly around her waist to show off the slight bulge of the fetus growing inside her, claimed that she initially wore loose- fitting ceremonial gowns to hide her expanding belly and swollen breasts from the public. <snip>

111. Hiya!
"That wasn't no earthquake!" Jeez! It only lasted a few moments. Our houses are built to sway. There was a little movement, but nothing came off of the shelves. Beloved Daughter thought it was the cats making noise.

Hold on; we are arguing with Daddy again; if I have to go out there and tell 'em both to be quiet ('cause I'm listening to Malloy) .... they are arguing about what they are going to watch on the big TV; ignoring the other FIVE t.v. sets in the house, apparently.

Yeah, earthquakes are serious critters - glad YOU'RE O.K. Ms November. But the scariest Mother Nature events to me are tornadoes. WOW - quick, get in the cellar and the noise like a freight train roaring through. Hopefully, we're good for another 100 years or so now.

118. Well, Ms. November.....
I think the epicenter was in Chino Hills, which fortunately, isn't that populated. About 50 miles from L.A., but it was also felt in San Diego.

Lord, I was just on that thread about the harrrassment Dean took in North Carolina. People with Hillary signs shouting over him. He gave them a chance to speak and he complimented Hillary on campaigning for Barack, but they just kept on. RUDE!:banghead:
