One of my '06 predictions has come to pass. Tom Delay is bailing. quote: WASHINGTON Apr 4, 2006 (AP)— Succumbing to scandal, former Majority Leader Tom Delay intends to resign from Congress within weeks, closing out a career that blended unflinching conservatism with a bare-knuckled political style.
DeLay is scheduled to appear on Fox News Channel Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. ET.
Republican officials said Monday night they expect the Texan to quit his seat later this spring. He was first elected in 1984, and conceded he faced a difficult race for re-election.
Can I call it, or what?!

Tom DeLay gone:
P.S. Meanwhile, the Culture of Corruption continues: This Just IN: (Or Justice In.) Brian J. Doyle, the deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, was arrested Tuesday for using the Internet to try and seduce an undercover Polk County Sheriff's Computer Crimes detective, posing as a teenage girl.

Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

Hmm. Hadn't heard about this one -- there is just so much crap and corruption in our current government that some stuff gets overlooked -- so I went seeking it out. Pretty fucking disgusting! quote: Homeland Security Deputy Press Secretary arrested for soliciting 14 year old girl for sex by John in DC - 4/04/2006 10:44:00 PM
Jesus Christ. Do these people vet ANYBODY? And lest anyone suggest that Brian Doyle is simply some two-bit low-level functionary at Homeland Security, just Google him - his name is all over EVERYTHING Homeland Security does because HE'S THEIR SPOKESMAN.

I might have another '06 prediction come to pass. It has been confirmed that Jesse Helmes suffers from dementia and is now in a nursing home.
