9. Wo0T!

Can you get me to/from the bus station? :) I've discovered that travelling by bus is not as hectic as driving & the ticket is cheaper than gassing up the car. :)

6. Related story on DeLay's crime

AAS 1/1/11
New campaign landscape wouldn't affect DeLay case

Perhaps the best-known campaign finance case in Texas involved former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who was convicted of money laundering in November in connection with political donations during the 2002 elections.

The Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision — and its fallout — would not have affected his case, even if the donations had been made last year.

DeLay could be convicted on the same charges today.

The U.S. Supreme Court did not overturn Texas' law prohibiting corporations or unions from donating to Texas candidates.

In November, a Travis County jury convicted DeLay on charges of money laundering and conspiring to commit money laundering.

Sweet!!!
