I have, of course, been hearing bits and pieces about the Don Siegelman case. I knew it was political when I first heard aboutg it--and Im sure Riley had his hand in it. I am glad the progressive media and congress are investigating. I hope they can do something to Karl Rove.

I'm surprised that as many Alabamians are informed as they are. It has been very hard to get the truth in Alabama about anything that involves a Democrat politician. Even the local TV and radio media pretty much parrots what the three largest newspapers in Alabama print. These newspapers are the Birmingham News, the Huntsville Times, Mobile Press-Register which are owned by Communications giant Advance Publications, Inc.
Lobbyest Jack Abramoff, Michael Scanlon, Toby Roth, Rob Riley, etc. have acted in the past for big business clients (Mississippi Casinos, Chevron/Exxon, etc) who have funneled large amounts of money through money laundering organizations such as the Business Council of Alabama to these newspapers to endorse GOP politicians for political favors.
It is not certain whether the corruption is isolated to the three Alabama newspapers or to Advance Publications Inc.
My hat goes off to the smaller locally own Alabama newspapers that continue to investigate and print the truth.
To Bush, Cheney and other political leaders in high places:
Most of you are senior citizens acting selfish and cruel to your fellow men like you are going to live forever.
For it is written by God: "IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE, BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGEMENT. FOR MAN THAT IS BORN OF A WOMAN IS OF FEW DAYS AND FULL OF TROUBLE. YOU COMETH FORTH LIKE A FLOWER, AND IS CUT DOWN; YOU FLEETH AS A SHADOW, AND CONTINUETH NOT."
You need to live every day like it's your last for it maybe!
CAUTION! What you do here on earth determines where and how you will spend eternity.
Your days are numbered. You have an appointment with death that everyone must keep.
