Lose Some Money? Look In The Fridge

Nobody’s Opinion; what is it with Louisiana? Was it the food? And just what is it with the name William Jefferson?

Today, when the FBI caught William Jefferson, an actual representative from Louisiana on tape accepting a $100,000 bribe, it was like sweet candy to all this nobody out here, even if it’s only one guy out of the bucket… even if it was no surprise.

When I first heard his name I instantly thought, “Oh sure—he probably named himself after master Clinton, who no doubt introduced him to his big telecommunication buddies.” Clinton and Gore have huge connections with laying cable. Those Ron Brown trips to Africa weren’t just for fun.

And what’s the deal with our own Justice Department actually doing some work for the people for a change? This is NOT politics as usual.

The gloves are off.

Isn’t it fun listening to all our elite congressmen squeal?

I noticed it was NOT on the front page of USA today’s website. The editors were not as upset about it as our congressmen. To them it was old news.

And why is Gingrich outraged? He has been presenting himself as the only conservative left in Washington. What’s in his fridge?

Dennis Hastert, who really fits the image of someone who has eaten at too many troughs of absolute power, thinks we broke the constitution.

Actually, I don’t remember the constitution saying that all of Congress, while serving, can commit just about any crime they want. That’s not what the framers intended. Just because it says that there is a “separation of powers” doesn’t mean they can be crooks.

They are mad because, instead of doing the usual “sexual” scandal or “leaking information” to get rid of somebody, President Bush used the law. That’s rare.

What is so amazing is this guy Jefferson was caught on video taking a bribe, and the congressmen that are screaming about how “unethical” it all is, should realize that just by protesting this action, they are just as good as admitting their own guilt to the people out in America watching this.

Haven’t they been telling us that if we have done nothing wrong, and committed no crimes, then it won’t matter if they happen to listen to our phone conversations?

The “nothing to hide” should apply to them too. Why are they worried? If they are upstanding representatives and never take a bribe, then the FBI should monitor them too.
After all, we are in a war. Just think how much William Jefferson could have made taking bribes from Osama. He could have stuffed millions into his ice-box instead of just $10,000.

I say, lets look in all their refrigerators! Let’s check out some ceilings! Maybe some Senatorial old shoes. We might find some of the deficit we’re missing.

But wait, don’t get too excited.

For one thing, the government knows the people are disgusted with them all. Because this is the first time in history that they have actually used the FBI and CIA to go in and get one of their own---shows that they are getting desperate. Just that fact alone is enough to think that maybe they had to come up with something to get back the trust and popularity of the Bush Administration--- even five points up on the polls would help.

In fact, I bet there has never been a time in our history when so many of the people think our whole system is beyond trusting and is corrupt beyond repair.

Action is needed, and they know it.

And another thing--did you notice even thought this “terrible” thing was done to the absolute horror of all congressmen; William Jefferson was still walking around? Oh no, he cannot be arrested. But you didn’t think of that did you?

Wow, he’s really suffering. He’s at home tonight on the phone, striking a deal, while drinking a bottle of Louie the VIV.

All us nobody’s would have been carted off to the local jail house, where our bail would have exceeded any congressman’s earnings in a year.

Remember Washington D.C.’s Mayor Barry? They caught him doing cocaine. Still he and the recent mayor of New Orleans, (Who let his city drown) were reelected back into office. Either the voters were all drug addicts, stupid, or the election was fixed.

At least the evidence presents itself as such.

I mean, would you prefer a mayor who is stoned all the time, or one who doesn’t care if you die in a flood?

Can’t decide? Ok…Mayor Barry wins.

And Sandy Burger…he goes into the National Archives and steals documents pertaining to probably 9/11 and Bill Clintons’ involvement in it….and what happened to him? Not much.

You know what they do. Whenever they need to grab more power they create a problem. So, here’s the problem: The executive branch went against all reason and used the FBI to spy and catch a crook in the Congress. This will be presented as an unprecedented power grab. Of course they will just HAVE to do something about this.

Because the constitution does not deal much with justice of crooks in its body, the Congress will have to pass a bill or an amendment to make it unlawful for anyone in government to even accuse anyone else of committing a crime. (Unless it’s impeachment of a President, they’ll leave that in.)

They will not be allowed to use Echelon to be spied on. The FBI and the CIA will have no rights to even look at the phone conversations of Congress members.

The solution; they are going to set up some laws to protect themselves from each other.
It will be bi-partisan. And they will make us think they are protecting the constitution instead of what they are really doing…making sure none of us find out just how much money is passed around. The fridges are filled with goodies.

And President Bush will look like he is enforcing some law. Some people will feel better; we all wonder where the man we voted for went.

Now, if he would just enforce our immigration laws already on the books.

I hope I’m wrong. But that’s how they do everything. It’s an old gimmick, create the problem, and come in with the solution.

I’m glad they picked that guy to catch, because everyone knows that the first place a robber will look is the fridge. Shows you how stupid the guy is.

It’s just too bad it wasn’t the other William Jefferson caught.

But then again, with the money that William has taken, you would probably have to look around for it in the North Pole.


Nobody’s Perfect; In Arkansas on Monday, the author John Grisham advised some graduating high school students to stay in college forever because adulthood is overrated and professional life is stressful and unhealthy. Poor John, he has one hit novel, and has to try to produce another great novel year after year. I can tell you by his last novel, that maybe he should become a college professor. Childhood await you John, go for it.

Nobody Knows; That Thomas Jefferson said; “Experience has already shown that the impeachment the Constitution has provided is not even a scarecrow.”

Nobody Cares; one time I lost my wallet, in the house. I searched for a good six months. Then one day my husband found it in the downstairs refrigerator. Nothing was missing. The funny thing is, no one, including me, seems to know how it got there. That was the last place I would have thought to look.
