GOP Trying to Protect DeLay's Position

By LARRY MARGASAK, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - House Republicans wrestled Wednesday with ways to keep Rep. Tom DeLay (news, bio, voting record) as majority leader in the event he is indicted by Texas grand jury that has brought charges against three of his political associates.

Meeting several hours behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, GOP members discussed compromises that would try to insulate their leader without giving blanket protection to party leaders indicted on felony charges.

DeLay, R-Texas, called the campaign finance investigation in Travis County, Texas a partisan attack on him, even though there has been no indication that he faces an indictment.

A House Republican rule requires that GOP leaders step down if indicted on charges that could bring a prison term of at least two years. Rep. Henry Bonilla (news, bio, voting record), R-Texas, has proposed that this step-aside rule apply only to federal felony indictments.

That plan ran into immediate trouble, several law makers said, when questions were raised about protecting members who hypothetically could be indicted for murder or other charges that would clearly be non-political. The Republican lawmakers then considered a compromise that would not distinguish between federal and state indictments, but would have the Republican Steering Committee_ a group of more than two dozen members — determine whether an indictment was frivolous.

Under this proposal, the steering committee would have to make a decision in 30 days and the indicted leader would have to step aside temporarily while the committee deliberated.

The House Republican Conference, consisting of all House Republicans, would likely make the final decision on whether the leader had to relinquish his or her post.

The grand jury is probing alleged irregularities in 2002 state legislative races. Republican victories in those contests enabled DeLay ultimately to win support for a congressional redistricting plan that resulted in the GOP's gain of five House seats in Texas in this month's elections.

House Democrats have a step-aside provision that applies to both federal and state proceedings similar to the current Republican rule, and their leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) of California, was highly critical of the GOP proposal.

"If they make this rules change, Republicans will confirm yet again that they simply do not care if their leaders are ethical. If Republicans believe that an indicted member should be allowed to hold a top leadership position in the House of Representatives, their arrogance is astonishing," Pelosi said.

In September, the grand jury indicted three political operatives associated with DeLay and eight companies, alleging campaign finance violations related to corporate money spent in the 2002 legislative races. The corporate donations were made to Texans for a Republican Majority, a political action committee created with help from DeLay.

DeLay said he was not questioned or subpoenaed as part of the investigation, led by retiring prosecutor Ronnie Earle.

The majority leader said after the indictments, "This has been a dragged-out 500-day investigation, and you do the political math. This is no different than other kinds of partisan attacks that have been leveled against me that are dropped after elections."

In October, the House ethics committee rebuked DeLay for appearing to link political donations to a legislative favor and improperly persuading U.S. aviation authorities to intervene in the Texas redistricting dispute.

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE


"He who is willing to sacrifice freedom for safety deserves neither freedom nor safety." - Ben Franklin
"One useless man is called a disgrace; two useless men are called a law firm; and three or more useless men are a congress" - John Adams

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE

By Basil Fawlty

Fawlty Towers, Torquay, Devon, England



To the citizens of the United States of America, In the light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy.



Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.



To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1.You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters.

You will end your love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise". You will learn that the suffix 'burgh is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.

Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed". There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won't have to use bad language as often.

2.There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize".

3.You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents - Scottish dramas such as "Taggart" will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we're talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is "Devon". If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become "shires" e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire.

4.Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English characters. British sit-coms such as "Men Behaving Badly" or "Red Dwarf" will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can't cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.
You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.

5.You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US Rugby sevens side by 2005.

6.You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders" which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.

7.You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

8.July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day".

9.All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

10.You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips. Fries aren't even French, they are Belgian though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps". Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat. Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.

11.As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.

12.The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer", and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager". The substances formerly known as "American Beer" will henceforth be referred to as "Near-Frozen Knat's Urine", with the exception of the product of the American Budweiser company whose product will be referred to as "Weak Near-Frozen Knat's Urine". This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.
From November 10th the UK will harmonise petrol (or "Gasoline" as you will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st 2005) prices with the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA and the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US gallon - get used to it).

13.You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.

14.Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).

15.Last but not the least, and for heaven's sake.....it's Nuclear as in "clear" NOT Nucular.

Thank you for your co-operation and have a great day.

OK, your saying, "This is busiess news, and that is true. But it's do to how your allowing you country to be run that is why businesses are leaving the US. AND THAT IS POLITICAL. READ THIS, because your going to see so much of it in your future. The United States of America is becoming the "mall of America" to the world. The US creates nothing, makes nothing, and adds no VALUE to anything. We'll just be a place to go to to buy things that the poor make and ship here for the rich to enjoy shopping for. Soon you well not be able to stay in the US as you become poorer you'll have to go to a third world county that you can afford to live in. And your Gov. well kick you out.
You should stop thinking of companies like Mircsoft, Ibm, Chrysler, as American Corporations because they don't. They are World Corporations and don't care about any country, just thier profit. And well use and abuse any country they can. The individual doesn't matter as there are so many of us out there in the world and there is going to be someone that will work for less till we all get hired. Ha Ha. Buy from local companies so your money well stay in your city, or county or state. OR you end up only being able to buy from Wal-Mart (Sam Waltin is rolling over in his grave)and then they'll tell you what you'll pay or don't eat. They don't care, cause someone else well buy food at any price. They'll have the power. Go read the book "1984". Again for some of us or for the first time for others. It was required reading in high school once apon a time.

Microsoft to hire hundreds more in India - November 15, 2004, 7:03 AM PST By Reuters

HYDERABAD, India--Microsoft will hire several hundred new employees at its new Indian campus in the next year, its chief executive said on Monday--a move aimed at strengthening its presence in Asia's fourth-biggest economy.

The world's largest software maker, which inaugurated its Indian campus, its biggest outside the United States, currently employs about 800 people in product development and support services in this southern Indian city.

India's IT-savvy, low-cost, English-speaking workforce is attracting a growing number of multinationals, such as IBM, to set up shop or outsource work to India.

The $12.5 billion software services industry has created some 550,000 software and 280,000 back-office positions in a sector that is growing at 30 percent a year.

"I am quite sure of hiring hundreds over the next 12 months," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told reporters when asked how many people the company intends to recruit in India. "The work we are doing here is not low-level. It's very high-level creative engineering."

Ballmer said plans to hire locally would not mean the loss of jobs in the United States.

"There are so many growth opportunities in our business that we can invest both in Hyderabad and, at the same time, continue making many more hires (at) our headquarters."

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates announced a three-year, $400 million investment plan in India in 2002. The new 28-acre campus, part of that investment, will house Microsoft's India Development Centre and a global delivery center to support the company's global businesses.

Mark Hyman - Denial By The Angry Left

The Angry Left and its media partners are in total denial.

George Bush got more votes for president than anyone else. Ever. The GOP picked up seats in both the House and the Senate. And Washington's top Democrat and Obstructionist-in-Chief, Tom Daschle, now has weekends and weekdays free. Voters sent a message. But the Angry Left just ain't listening.

The liberal group Campaign for America's Future is seemingly ignorant that an election had even taken place. It issued a post-election press release based on a poll of 2,000 announcing "NEW POLL: NO MANDATE FOR BUSH." Just two days prior a nationwide poll of 114 million voters told a different story. Days after the election, Democratic Leadership Council President Bruce Reed wrote, "Millions of Americans voted against their own interest." Hello? Earth to liberals. You just don't get it. It's this very attitude of yours that the people are just too stupid to make decisions for themselves that has made your minority party…. an even smaller minority. It's time to climb aboard the reality train.

The Angry Left's media partners are also windsurfing in denial. Many of them are still in a dither.

In a scathing post-election editorial, the Philadelphia Daily News wrote "a four-million-vote margin of victory …[is not] an overwhelming mandate." Come again? Four million is equivalent to the populations of Delaware, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska and both Dakotas, combined.

Slate.com's Jane Smiley chalked up Bush's victory to stupid voters in a column titled "The unteachable ignorance of red states."

The Angry Left, quick to claim there is no Bush mandate must have forgotten that its dean of Democratic politics, Bill Clinton, never once broke the 50 percent barrier in his two elections, garnering only 43 percent in 1992 and 49 percent in '96 and losing control of both Houses of Congress along the way. Yet, in their eyes, Bubba had a mandate. Despite Democratic losses, the Angry Left argues that it is Bush and not the Democrats who must compromise.

The future for moderate Democrats is very bleak and will only worsen if they fail to reclaim their party from the clutches of the Angry Left. Mainstream America will not vote for a party run by Hollywood liberals, greedy trial lawyers and clueless academia. Moderate Democrats know this. The problem is the Angry Left has hijacked their party and party leaders are in denial that they even have a problem.

And that's the Point.

I'm Mark Hyman.
