Editilla jus'axin, No Times-Picayune???

Jindal urging death penalty for child rapists ~Gov. Bobby Jindal said Saturday his administration is working with prosecutors on a bill that would reinstate the death penalty for rape in limited cases, especially for "monsters" who prey on young children.
~Editilla stigmatas da'pixelata~
We do remember disgraced US Attorney General "Berty" Gonzales' own subterfuge to go after these pedophiles, by Mining the Private Data of every American. This was before we caught his office firing Federal Prosecutors and attacking the Governor of Alabama from off a list provided by Carl Rove.
This is before we discovered the inefficacy of this Vaunted Anti Child- Porn Program.
This was even before
the continuous

& Sexual Dealers:
Republican Senators Craig, Vitter, closeted gay Evangelical pederast Congressman Foley,
Cheerleader Lott (hey, jus'sayin, it looks weird...),
Ubber Boy Hunter Carl "Carly's Coven" Rove...
But really, this McSame Insane One-Eyed Beat-Off just goes on, ...as the beat goes on, eh?
We remember all this Boo'hah that Republicans shoveled into the road for traction for their Political Machinations. Yeah, Death to Pedophiles. Riiight...
Who can be against that,
least of all the perps?
But must we hand over the Keys to our City Databases --to
The Exorcist for God's Sake? Gadzooks!

ASCECORPS to State of Maine:
No Soup for You!






No Wild Place in Maine is Safe.
The Corps of Engineers has decided not to hold a public hearing on MDOT's Umbrella Mitigation Bank Plan.

Connecticut Senator Demands Federal Investigation of ASCECORPS' Fascist Groove Thang~State Senator Paul Doyle (D-Wethersfield) wants officials from the United States Army to investigate and provide a written explanation as to why lawmakers and the general public were barred from entering a publicly noticed press conference.
In a letter sent yesterday afternoon to Secretary of the United States Army Peter Geren and Army Corps of Engineers Chief of Engineers and Commanding General Robert L. Van Antwerp, Senator Doyle detailed how on July 31, 2008, he was barred from entering the meeting, held at the Inn at Middletown, along with Representative Joseph Serra and Middletown Mayor Sebastian Giuliano.

ASCECORPS’ action on Santa Cruz ruffles feathers
~The chairmen of two influential congressional committees are challenging the basis being used by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency to determine “navigability” of the Santa Cruz and the Los Angeles rivers.
Such a determination has been necessary since the 2006 U.S. Supreme Court decision in United States v. Rapanos, which reduced the authority of the Clean Water Act.
Failure to get a navigability determination might mean that the act does not protect all or parts of a stream or any of its tributaries from potential polluters.

WA county's dilemma:
Cut trees or lose federal funds

~Greenery on Washington levees must go, feds say
Part of the trouble is the lack of a consensus in the engineering community on the effect of trees on levee stability. Those working to protect fish argue that levees dominated by big rocks represent an outdated approach. "The corps has in many cases in other places been slow to get with the times and adjust its policies to the most current science," said Michael Garrity, associate director for the Seattle office of American Rivers, an environmental group.
After the corps told King County to choose between greenbacks and greenery, the county carefully reviewed 14 levee-repair projects scheduled for this summer. It decided to withdraw five projects needing the least costly repairs that were the most vegetated, mostly along the Snoqualmie River. It saved 379 trees -- but lost almost $400,000 in federal funding.

Lyrics by Sop81_1 and Nowdoucit
Performed by: Gene Taylor and the Soggy Bottom Boys
~I am the man of constant borrow
I’ve seen trouble a thousand days
Few now fare well in ol’ Biloxi
The place where I was born and raised.
The place where he was born and raised
~For three long years we’ve been in trouble,
no coverage for here on earth I’ve found
And in this world, I’m bound to Qui Tam-ble,
I have no policy to help me now.
He has no policy to help him now.
~It’s fair thee well, my old true adjuster,
I never expect to see you again.
For I’m bound to ride that windless hurricane,
Claims all die upon Lecky’s desk
Claims all die upon Lecky’s desk.
~You can file me in the finance committee,
For as many years as they say.
And you may learn to insure another
While I am here to save it from the grave.
While he is here to save it from the grave.
~Maybe your friends think I’m just a stranger
My face seen by fewer not more
But there is one promise that is a-given,
I’ll meet you in Dodd’s conference committee
He’ll meet you in Dodd’s conference committee
