Scandal etc

Man, that whole Mark Foley scandal really smells rotten.

And it is notable that the Republican party in the US has always held themselves out as being a paragon of virtue, and that all sickos resided within their opponents, the democrats.

And what about this foley sicko: Did he not need rehab until the whole thing blew up? I had 4 Heinekens last night. Does that qualify me for rehab? Did Foley suddenly become alcoholic, gay and a pedophile this week? Amazing.

And the Republican party members have triggered survival mode. Each man for himself. A third republican has now said that the House Speaker new all about the thing for a while now. And Good old George went on TV and professed his confidence in "Denny" Hastert, as he referred to him lovingly. Will "Denny" come out unscathed?

And what about all of these school shootings? Including one in an Amish school! How horrid. Read here.

Anyway, that is American stuff - maybe some of my American Bloggisaries can enlighten me, I only read and watch the media.

On a much lighter note, and to pay tribute to my bloggionista/soccer star

Congrats to the Lionesses to an impressive indoor football victory last Friday night. She might not like it, but I can let you not that Afro scored a goal, and please check her blog out.

I had to smile at some of the IMs although the whole story is on the sordid side.

The Foley saga will unfold and close ... unlike some of those in the Caribbean.

When ah heard that he'd been messin' wid a youngster, ah thought it was a girl. Then found out it was a boy (actually 'boys'), so his problem seems even more complicated.
