The excellent website crooksandliars.com is not resolving this morning (Thurs 5/18), instead going to a web hosting platform called "Zia". I checked the DNS and registry records and GoDaddy, the scantily clad Super Bowl advertiser, is the registrar of record and the DNS records are pointing to godaddy servers as well as one with "sixgirls" in the name.

Hijack?????????
Update: Peeder says that the site can be found here: http://www.crooksandliars.com.nyud.net:8080/
however, that link may only be a mirror and something is definitely fishy about the Zia link. Anybody know anything about Zia??? h/t to Peeder. I tried to search but could not find the prior entry.

The following is a recounting of my first day volunteering over at the Astrodome.

Today was my first day to volunteer over at the Astrodome. I have two small children, so I was unable to go before today, but I was determined to put in my time and help the people that were our guests feel welcome. Read More

Mayor Bill White has just announced that he is overriding the Fire Marshall and will allow more people into the Astrodome. At a 10am news conference, the Mayor also announced that he is commandeering the George R. Brown convention center for refugees, which will likely displace a number of upcoming conventions scheduled in the weeks ahead.

When asked whether this would open up the city to lawsuits, the mayor replied "let them sue."

Kudos to Mayor White for putting humanity first.

Sorry no links yet. Just announced on the radio.

[Note: I have started my own blog, Mudflap Wisdom but am cross-posting this entry here so that it can get a wider audience. It is a view on the Cornyn affair that I have not seen as yet, and as a Kossack from Texas, I thought it worthy of submission.]

John Cornyn has certainly been busy lately. Not only has he been stirring up controversy regarding support for the Senate "nuclear option" (along with Bush I counsel C. Boyden Gray), his comments yesterday attempted to rationalize violence against members of the Judiciary.

While Senator Cornyn's comments yesterday may be stirring up outrage in the blogosphere and elsewhere, I am wondering if anyone in Austin is taking notice. I submit the following Canons of Ethics, which bind all attorneys licensed in Texas. These are codified in TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. §§ 51.001-327 (Vernon 1988).

Rudy Giuliani will join a Texas law firm with notable ties to the Bush White House, and open a NYC office. The firm, Bracewell & Patterson, will be renamed Bracewell & Giuliani, will open the NYC office in May.

NY Times article here

It is unclear how this will impact Giuliani's future political aspirations. Anybody care to comment?

He goes by many names: the bugman, the hammer, "I am the federal government", (insert your favorite pejorative name here).

Now, Tom DeLay (R-TX) has indicated that there should be no seperation between Church and State.

In an article published in the Houston Chronicle, detailing upcoming arguments regarding the placement of the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the Texas Capitol, DeLay says "I hope the Supreme Court will finally read the Constitution and see there's no such thing, or no mention, of separation of church and state in the Constitution."

I thought I would share with everyone my experience today. Just to set the stage, I live in Harris County (Houston), Texas, deep in the HEART of the red state Texas. Up until recently, I attended the same church as Bush Sr. (couldn't stand the BC04 stickers in the parking lot anymore). And I am about as BLUE of a yellow-dog democrat as anyone can get, so you can imagine how "alone in the wilderness" I have been feeling here over the past several months. I just had to jettison my poker group because I was getting tired of all the flat heads spouting republican talking points.

Well, today was different. Inspired by kos, and some of the others on the board (you know who you are), I volunteered for the first time today at one of the Harris County Democratic Party satellite offices. This one is located in a shopping mall close to where I live. What happened after that was such a shot in the arm, I can only say to those in the battleground states, GET OUT THERE. IF I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE HERE IN TEXAS, YOU CAN TOO WHEREVER YOU LIVE!!!
