“Tom’s conduct is hurting the Republican Party, is hurting this Republican majority and it is hurting any Republican who is up for re-election,” Rep. Chris Shays, R-Conn., told The Associated Press in an interview, calling for DeLay to step down as majority leader.
DeLay, R-Texas, who was admonished by the House ethics committee last year, has been dogged in recent months by new reports about his overseas travel funded by special interests, campaign payments to family members and connections to a lobbyist who is under criminal investigation.
A moderate Republican from Connecticut who has battled with his party’s leadership on a number of issues, Shays said efforts by the House GOP members to change ethics rules to protect DeLay only make the party look bad.
“My party is going to have to decide whether we are going to continue to make excuses for Tom to the detriment of Republicans seeking election,” Shays said.
Rick Santorum, the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, said Sunday that DeLay needs to explain his conduct to the public.
“I think he has to come forward and lay out what he did and why he did it and let the people then judge for themselves,” Santorum told ABC’s This Week.

You mean, Tom DeLay isn’t the living, breathing incarnation of Jesus Christ? Dude!
On my way out of Remington, I went through Hampden, and took a photo of these rowhomes on Beech Ave., (I think). I really like that green door — so: when I buy a place, I’m going to paint the door green.

Or purple!!!!

… to find a car wash and stop parking under trees.
A four-door Wrangler? I guess just a new model of the Unlimited. Feels wrong, somehow.
NEWSFLASH! Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner III is MISSING HIS BRAIN
Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner III, R-Wis., told cable industry executives attending the National Cable & Telecommunications Assn. conference here on Monday that criminal prosecution would be a more efficient way to enforce the indecency regulations.
“I’d prefer using the criminal process rather than the regulatory process,” Sensenbrenner told the executives.
The current system — in which the FCC fines a licensee for violating the regulations — casts too wide a net, he said, trapping those who are attempting to reign in smut on TV and those who are not.
“People who are in flagrant disregard should face a criminal process rather than a regulator process,” Sensenbrenner said. “That is the way to go. Aim the cannon specifically at the people committing the offenses, rather than the blunderbuss approach that gets the good actors.
“The people who are trying to do the right thing end up being penalized the same way as the people who are doing the wrong thing.”

The sign in the door says “Beware of Dog.” Fuck that. Get one of these and put up a sign that says this …
I went down to Remington today, just to take some photos and walk about. I like it a lot, particularly the north end. My first stop was 30th Street, right down from Dizzy Issie’s.

There’s a church at the end of the street and there was quite a bit of music coming from it. It was nice, gave some atmosphere and what not. I walked about, even venturing down a couple of alleys. I saw only one rowhome that might’ve had a parking pad, but … what’s with all the “no parking” signs? Why bother with a pad then, dude?

So, Remington it would seem to be, then. I’m giving myself a year - I want to be in a place in Remington no sooner than April ‘06, and no later than June ‘06. I’d better move fast, too, because according to this, prices in Remington are goin’ up …
(…with a bird)

About five seconds after I took this photo, Tippy charged head first into the window trying to pounce on a squirrel. She gave me quite the nasty look - “Why’d you put glass there, you ass?”
Silly feline!

Anyway, Lisa, what I was trying to post … savings accounts aren’t difficult to do. I decided last fall to make an effort to sock away some money at the rate of $50 a week, and I’ve only taken money out of the account once - to buy new tires. This Friday, I’ll hit sixteen hundred saved. It just takes some will power and a little determination.
“Does making a man a knight, also make him a better fighter?!”
“Yes.”
In his quest to make my life horrible — which to him generally involves showing up for work — Robin pulled up to the store last night in, you guessed it, an ‘04 Jeep Wrangler, black. His first words to me as he walked in: “You can sit in it, just don’t leave any fluids.” Damn! No drooling!
Robin later admitted that he’d traded in his Hyundai SUV and his Harley for the Jeep. Didn’t owe a dime on it. So maybe he’ll put a radio in it — oh, yeah, did I mention it didn’t have a radio? Plus, no back seat. And it was an automatic.
So, in the end, I’m not nearly as jealous as I was when I first saw my - er, his - Jeep.
(I was very surprised he got rid of his Harley, but he and his daughter were in a bad accident last year, which would explain why he and his wife sold off their three bikes - the accident wasn’t their fault, but the little one had to be airlifted to a hospital, so I guess that’s enough to scare anyone off a bike - she’s fine, BTW - plus, as he put it, “I’ve got a baby now, too, and with what I work, I don’t have time to ride anymore.”)
It’s official - Star Wars Return of the Sith is a PG-13.
Also, Ain’t-it-Cool-News has an early preview of Dukes of Hazzard.
