&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t know if I agree with Ralston being such a small fry exactly.&lt;br /&gt;
Wasn’t her office real close to Chimpy’s?&lt;br /&gt;
She knows where a lot of body’s are buried I’m thinking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ralston originally worked for Abramoff, then he transferred her to work for Rove.  She knows a lot.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jeffrey Taylor is a name to remember and watch.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jeffrey Taylor has also given hundreds of dollars to the Republican National Committee and to George W. Bush.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the acting U.S. attorney for D.C., Taylor has &lt;b&gt;the sole authority to enforce House or Senate subpoenas through citations for contempt of Congress. Even &lt;em&gt;if Taylor actually chooses to prosecute an administration official for refusing to testify &lt;/em&gt;- which is highly unlikely - could we trust him not to screw it up?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;……Jeffrey A. Taylor was appointed interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia &lt;em&gt;by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales on September 22, 2006. He was sworn in and took office on September 29, 2006&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

“…the FDA is set to approve meat &amp; milk prodcts from cloned animals safe to sell to the public in supermarkets &amp; to restaurants by the end of 2007. Since these cloned products are “safe”, the FDA does not feel they need to be labled…”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is some evidence that GM crops are part of what is causing “the bee problem”, at least in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you don`t know what I am talking about check Google for recent news items on the mass disappearance of bees in agricultural areas. Lots of bee keepers are totally freaked out. NYTimes had an article recently focusing on the Central Valley of California.&lt;/p&gt;

Nothing is deleted forever, keep that in mind when you write em!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does the phrase NSA “wiretaps” ring a bell ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the NSA vacuum wasn`t to have picked up these specific messages one would have to wonder “why is that ?”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More evidence of misbehavior of the “…high crimes…” type&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not suggesting, of course, that the NSA might be real interesting in admitting to having them or allowing just anyone to have access. But that is another kettle of fish so to speak.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;No one should be surprised if Republicans throw their own under the bus to protect themselves and their power.  One only has to look at the rise of Nazism to see how much they actually valued “loyalty”.  The “Night of the Long Knives” is nothing more than a template for the new Republican authoritarians.  Would they actually commit murder to further their cause?  You tell me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

                177              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve asked this question a couple of times over the last few days without an answer.  Unfortunately, its usually been at the end of a thread.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How are the going to ensure they &lt;b&gt;really&lt;/b&gt; get the gwb43 and rnc emails?  The administration has no credibility.  Why should we believe they’re going to be forthcoming?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They probably won’t give them to Congress voluntarily, and will cite privacy laws, etc. But, if Congress issues a subpoena to the RNC or the web host for the documents, they’ll probably have to comply, although they’ll certainly try the courts first. But, the White House cannot argue executive privilege in the matter–which makes any court challenge by them much more difficult. They cannot claim these are internal documents, because they weren’t internally transmitted.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi GulfCoastPirate!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Welcome - glad you delurked.  And no apologies necessary - I’m still figuring out the software myself (why does it spell check in Firefox on Windows but not Mac OS?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again - no worries - I just didn’t want to take credit for someone else’s words (too many of my own here anyway…)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The Justice Department officials who were selected to be interviewed hit merely the tip of this iceberg.  It is extremely important that the House and Senate Judiciary Committee’s interview John Nowacki, Principal Deputy Director as well as the Acting Counsel to the Director in the Executive Office of the Justice Department, in order to establish the links between the Justice Department officials, the US Attorney’s in the field, and the political operatives who helped remove the targeted US Attorney’s.  I have gathered and organized every document released so far from the Justice Department relating to John Nowacki as well as background information on his relationship with the Federalist Society.  You will be shocked at how many key pieces of information he gives to Paul McNulty, William Moschella, Michael Elston, William Mercer, Monica Goodling, and former employees Michael Battle and Kyle Sampson.&lt;br /&gt;
