justice sings?
this night, I pray to a feminine aspect of Divinity:

Whether She be Goddess or concept, if Justice can still sing, may she raise her voice now. In uncanny symbolism, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales dares to cover her bosom, as if to appear moral. Let Her raise sword with voice, as she exposes Her naked beauty to the world once more, without shame or partiality. Let Her weigh all evidence, without mercy or scorn. Justice delayed is Justice denied. Let Justice sing!

Speaker Hastert Announces Page Program Tip Line Number

Outgoing House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert today announced an official Page tip line number.

According to Hastart, “As the Speaker I take responsibility for everything in the building. The buck stops here. The safety and security of the students in the Page program is imperative.

“That is why I directed the Clerk of the House to establish a hotline for reporting any information concerning Pages or the Page program. As of this morning, the Clerk of the House has activated the tip-line. It is for anyone with information regarding the Foley matter. This number can also be used to report any other concerns regarding the Page program.

On October 3, 2006, during CNN broadcast, Hastert acted shocked, while insisting on a full investigation of a member of his own party, resulting from sexually explicit e-mails from former representative Mark Foley (R-Fla.) to a 16-year-old male page.

According to previous Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) Hastert was notified early this year of inappropriate e-mails from Foley to the child, contradicting the speaker's assertions that he learned of concerns about Foley at a much later date.

In an October 1, 2006 article of The Washington Post Boehner claims Hastert knew of "inappropriate contact" between Foley and the young page since last spring.

Hastert did not dispute the claims of Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds (R-N.Y.), and his office confirmed that some of Hastert's top aides knew last year that Foley had been ordered to cease contact with the boy and to treat all pages respectfully.

Here is a Christmas Carol for Hastart:

Oh Foley Night

Is Foley right?
Are Pages rightly pining?
Is it right to ruin, childhood or their self-worth?
Big pay unfurled, as spin began refining....
He disappeared, into rehab and rebirth.
Is pill or dope, the cure for his poor choices?
I ponder fakes, as the news refuses to warn!

"Fall on your knees"...
Was that in Page choices?
Or night of wine?
Or night when Page was torn?
Oh night of wine!
Oh night of wine!

Led to the plight of youth, he's meanly scheaming...
was showing parts - of his body all he planed?
So is it right to scar, those completely seeming...
boys so unwise and then dodge the witness stand?
Now sing of things; pay-offs or unholy danger...
crimes without trials, will scorn us till the end.

"Fall on your knees"...
Was that in Page choices?
Or night of wine?
Or night, when Page was torn?
Oh night of wine!
Oh night of wine!

Truly he thought, he was above all others
His lie is lost, if his half-wits hide this beast
Pains shall they take, for to save him and smother
All for his game, all confessions shall cease
Treat them as boys and wait for us raise he,
Let us begin trial, Foley is sane.

Bring Justice please...
And hear the people's voices
Justice will shine
So bright with public scorn
Truth is Divine!
Truth is Divine!
Oh, Truth is Divine!
Now let the Truth be born!

Long DeLay in Justice

Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas), whose legal troubles forced him to step down as House majority leader, currently brings in large corporate donations for other Republicans.

On December 5th, 2005, a judge threw out the Conspiracy charge against DeLay, causing prosecutor, District Attorney Ronnie Earle to appeal. On April 19, 2006 the Texas Third Court of Appeals upheld a ruling to dismiss conspiracy charges but that finding is still under assessment, which likely pushes any trial off until at least next year.

In the face of impending prosecution, DeLay attempted to withdraw from reecent national elections but a court ruling prevented the Republican Party from replacing him on the November ballot. According to a KTRK-TV interview on August 25, 2006, he said "I'm very disappointed in our Justice system. There doesn't seem to be Justice."

Perhaps DeLay will finally find his idea of Justice, after he finishes shopping for a friendly judge.

According to a New York Times article dated October 4, 2006, DeLay requested that Judge Perkins resign from his case on money laundering and conspiracy charges because he has contributed to Democratic causes that oppose him. Judge Perkins referred the decision to B.B. Schraub, presiding judge of the third administrative judicial region. Judge Schraub subsequently assigned the case to Judge Duncan.

Still, there is no trail or any plans for him to hear the voice of Justice.

IF I HAD A "HAMMER"

If there is a Hammer-trial...
to hammer out a warning
to hammer out the thieving ... all over this land,
It'd hammer Chimp's ranger
It'd hammer home a warning
It'd hammer out graft between all Chimp's sisters and his Misters
All over this land.

If Lay is in Hell...
It sings to them a warning
It sings about their thieving ... all over this land,
It sings of public anger
It sings Divine warning
to sing in trial, like rats, on crook-sisters and con-Misters
All over this land.

Is Justice now gone?
They fling lies without warning
They fling lies to cover thieving ... all over this world,
Fox flings Bush in a Manger
Fox flings crap each morning
Fox flings out crap, to cover trial DeLay, of crook-sisters and con-Misters
All over this land.

If they'll try Ole' "Hammer"
As Lay dodges Hell
As Fox dreams up crap to fling ... all over this land,
Where's the hammer of Justice?
Why did war spell lost freedom?
It's too long without protest by my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

I've always preferred Justice as a warrior. This is a fabulous depiction of my mythological brainwaves! Wow, holy shit! This is perfect!

K&R'd Mr. Ghost - may Justice serve you, and all of us, well.

:kick:

THANK YOU! :hug:

Watchit, Cons - OUR lady beats YOUR lady, hand's down!
