No. 112 continued, and sorry about those typos, I submitted before ready.

Bottom line, we have no way to know that electing Democrats will solve the problems I am raising, but it is better than the alternative of ignoring these issues, and not challenging the Republicans on them.

This is what is even more frightening, that the Democrats will not really enforce their constitutional right to hold the executive branch ACCOUNTABLE. The Democrats seem far too chicken shit to hold the Bush administration accountable for their most serious crimes. Yes the Democrats have been implementing many investigations and yes some have resigned, a few have gone to jail. We still have officials ignoring subpoena’s, and the Bush administration ignores demands for pertinent documents and intercepts.

Senator Rockerfeller has yet to complete Phase II of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. There has yet to be one person who has been held accountable for creating, cherry picking, and disseminating false intelligence which the invasion of Iraq was based on.

Holding those responsible for this unnecessary and immoral war in Iraq is the very least THE VERY LEAST that our reps can do for the hundreds of thousands of people (both Iraqi and Americans) who have lost their lives, been injured and turned into refugees due to this immoral war.

The American people and the whole world is watching. Some of us are calling, writing and lobbying for Justice.

My wife, Mo, who has been following my entries while preparing a B-Day dinner, tells me that I am obviously tired from a rather full day of events in addition to the time I have been able to visit FDL, for my typos are increasing. When She To Whom I Must Listen speaks, and suggest I call it a day and head back to the house from my office for dinner, I follow her advice.

Before signing off, however, I want to thank Elaine for hosting, and all of you for your participation and your many B-Day greetings. The questions were as provocative and interesting as usual, I can’t think of a nicer place to have spent the bulk of my B-Day, which is why I scheduled it today.

If anyone has a burning question that I have not answered please send it along to this email address and I will answer it: brokengovernment@gmail.com.

Finally, I look forward to getting back in contract with the FDL community to distribute copies of BG to Democratic nominees for the House and Senate.

Until then, all best wishes.

Thank you Mo Dean for allowing us to spend this time with your dear husband. Your willingness to allow us to tap into your husbands knowledge wisdom and experience on this special day says a great deal about you. Many blessings to both of you and your family.

Good work guys. Much appreciated.

Mo Dean, thanks for taking good care of John. He is a treasure.

Seconded enthusiastically.

(Out of respect I’d prefer to call you Mr. Dean, but “best wishes for you and Ms. Dean” sounds like a megacorps’ holiday card…)

And Ms. Dean – thanks for letting us “borrow” your husband today.
