Most Outrageous Item Of The Week

I don’t see why anyone is shocked at this move by the Democrats. I’m just surprised they didn’t put him in charge of the House Ethics Committee. Face it, Democrats in Washington don’t give a rat’s ass what you or I or anybody think. They are convinced they can get away with anything after making right bastards of themselves for the last six years and not getting punished for it.

What I really want to know is why is this freaking moron still walking around free. Why hasn’t the Justice Department clapped him in irons yet? Hell, they caught him red-handed with the bribe money in his freezer. What else do they need? Arrest his sorry, criminal ass and tell Louisiana to elect another Congressman. End of story. Then again, maybe not - the stupid retards in Louisiana would just send another crook to Washington. Never mind ...

Rep. Jefferson to Get Homeland Security Seat
_{(WASHINGTON POST) - Saturday, February 17, 2007}

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who yanked embattled Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-LA) off a powerful tax committee last year, has decided to put him on the Homeland Security panel, aides to the Louisiana Democrat confirmed yesterday. The move infuriated some Republicans, who accuse him of being a potential security risk.

Jefferson has been the subject of an ongoing federal bribery investigation related to a telecommunications deal in Africa. His Capitol Hill office and his homes in Washington and New Orleans have been raided by the FBI, and he was kicked off the Ways and Means Committee last June after affidavits and evidence seized in the raids became public.

Nevertheless, Jefferson won reelection in December to a ninth term, and he has been an outspoken critic of the federal response to Hurricane Katrina. Pelosi’s decision to appoint Jefferson to the committee must still be formally approved by House Democrats.

“It sends a terrible message,” said Rep. Peter T. King (R-NY), the committee’s ranking Republican. “They couldn’t trust him to write tax policy, so why should he be given access to our nation’s top secrets or making policy for national defense?

“Members of the committee have access to intelligence secrets, plots here in the country, overseas, and people under suspicion. This shows how unimportant the Democrats think homeland security is,” King said.

Jefferson’s chief of staff, Eugene Green, called King’s criticism ‘ridiculous and just politics.’ - “Representing New Orleans as he does, we’re very concerned as to what happened in the wake of Hurricane Katrina,” Green said. “It’s just natural for the congressman to serve his constituents on a committee of this nature.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
