This is a great post at Zen Cabin.

As the sports stadium barkers say: You can-t tell the traitors players without a scorecard. I-m sure anyone who follows the FISA fight is familiar with James Cicconi but I thought hey, why not shine a spotlight on him? So, let’s give Mr. Cicconi the attention he deserves - we-ll start just before things went to Hell in America.

WaPo - 9/26/99

Former president George Bush’s longtime advisers were troubled. Bush’s son was about to launch a presidential bid and some of these once powerful Washington figures felt frozen out. So after an advisory board meeting earlier this year at the Bush presidential library in College Station, Tex., they decided to raise the issue with their former boss.

Hmmm… I wonder how this will turn out. Let’s take a look!

Sickening. On one hand I feel sorry for the low income people who, out of desperation, believed this asshole. On the other hand I find it hard to believe there’s people that stupid.

To a chorus of “Amens” and “Thank You, Jesus,” the Rev. Daniel S. Mundell tells followers God will free them of debt, even make them millionaires.

Then comes the sales pitch: Back up your faith with donations. Give, even if it’s your last $100. Write a check. Pay by credit card.

Preaching mostly to a low-income following, the Hallandale Beach-based evangelist has raised millions of dollars through services and crusades in South Florida and across the country.

Former followers say the only one who seemed to attain wealth was the preacher.

Before starting New Generation Ministries in 1991, Mundell had filed for bankruptcy protection and lost a home in a foreclosure. By 2005, he was living in a $1.8 million estate in Safety Harbor, near Tampa, with basketball and tennis courts and a putting green.

The ministry paid the preacher $206,000 in 2005 and once provided him a Mercedes-Benz, a Jaguar and a Corvette, according to court records.

G and I took a ride to Tavernier today to check on the boat. While down there, we heard on the radio about an 850 lb. Mako shark that a guy G knows caught on his charter boat today. They charter out of Bud & Mary’s in Islamorada. The captain’s name is George. Of course, no camera on had, but they’ve already put a picture up on their website. Took them 4 hours to reel him in. We were wishing they had let him go. What a week……..alligators and sharks.

McCain really is senile. When has he NOT brought up Jeremiah Wright or Hamas?

IF AGE IS ON TABLE, THEN…

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Asked to respond to Obama’s comment that the 71-year old senator is “losing his bearings,” McCain said today that questions raised about his age are “fine with me.”

And, he added, if age is a legitimate issue, so are a few things about his likely opponent.

“Every issue that the American people want to be an issue, and it’s part of their discussions, it’s fine with me,” he said in response to the question about his age.

Why did the chicken cross the road? A little Saturday humor…….

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE!
The chicken wanted CHANGE

JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized
the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the
chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken
to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified
to ensure — right from Day One! — that every chicken in this
country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But
then, this really isn’t about me…….

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won’t realize
that he must first deal with the problem on ‘THIS’ side of the
road before it goes after the problem on the ‘OTHER SIDE’ of
the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid
he’s acting by not taking on his ‘CURRENT’ problems before
adding ‘NEW’ problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which
is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having
the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a
part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a car so that he
can just drive across the road and not live his life like the
rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just
want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not.
The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle
ground here.
