Word comes from Washington today that Mel Martinez is stepping down over a year early as senator from the great state of Florida. What is it with these Cut and RUN Polliticians of the Republic Party? They REALLY are a bunch of Quitters aren't they!

UnScience Friday: the Elevation of Evolution
It is crimson here in st augustine. I am beginning to think that the nations' Oldest city, is also
one of the reddest ones. example is this lte this morning. i don't believe in censorship,usually but maybe Some people really should be denied pen and paper. How can someone live in this century, and flat out deny the reality of science? is beyond me.

Excuse me sir, Do you EAT? well most of the food you now eat is preserved, enhanced, etc by SCIENCE
Have you ever used any medication at any time in your life? HOPE NOT, cuz then you would be making use of that DEVIL SCIENCE Do you Drive a car? Do you use lights, stove, refridgerator, all created through engineering and SCIENCE

i was sitting at my pc a couple of hours ago, and thought i detected a faint rumble
under my feet. mmhhh... someone blasting in the neighborhood? tornado nearby?
Heavy heavy thunder in the distance? I asked the spouse, and he didn't notice anything
unusual. Was it just me? well the pet iguana actually had a strange look on her face. i
just went on with my day. CNN tuned in to listen to kerry/wolf, when they mentioned an
earthquake detected in the Gulf of Mexico about 250 east of tampa. I have lived most of
my 50 years in different parts of FL, and have NEVER felt even a slight tremor (ok, i have when
near shuttle or rocket liftoffs, but that was yesterday!!)
well, it got me thinking about the Gulf and recent DRILLING activity. You know, the DEEPEST
ever attempted in the gulf of mexico. and WHERE did the Drilling occur? Read More

We have so much talent at DK. After reading the many recent diaries about
discrimination, allen, tarbaby. Tarbaby kept getting brighter in my mind. Who is the
Current tarbaby? Who does everyone WANT to distance themselves from before the Nov
elections? I think gwb fits the Bill. So my call is out to dood and the other
great creators. We Need Clips. It would be great if we could create a template
clip with all the characters and the extra special option of including your local
republican candidate. Read More

SAN DIEGO - Federal agents on Friday searched the California home of U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, along with the yacht in Washington, D.C., where he has been living, the FBI said.

Agents from the FBI, Internal Revenue Service and the Defense Department's criminal investigative service also searched the Washington offices of a defense firm whose founder bought the congressman's previous
home, leading to a federal investigation, said Debra Weierman, a Washington FBI spokeswoman.

Cunningham, 63, has said that he showed poor judgment in selling the house, but he acted honestly and predicted that an investigation would prove that.

this evening was the premier of The CLoser" a show devoted
to the inner workings of an Interrogator, along the lines of CSI
and all the other new law and order shows. I missed it, but my
husband watched it and liked it. I just caught a trailer for it,
and it struck me that maybe this is a way of softening the public
to the techniques used in interrogations. Will they slowly add
"new techniques" with each episode, until they match those which we
currently consider to be torture and inhumane? Will they show it as
getting results (of course). Do they expect the public to become
inured to torture by adding it as a regular (sanitized) tv version.
Another step down that long road.
Shall we expect to see an SAIC or Blackwater ad during upcoming episodes?

'''Republicans Protest Bush Cut to Anti-Drug Program'''

By Alan Elsner
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a rare show of discontent with the White House, 41 congressional Republicans have signed a letter protesting President Bush's plan to sharply cut spending on an anti-drug program.
The 41 House of Representatives Republicans joined 49 Democrats in signing the letter, given to Reuters on Friday, which asked top House budget writers to reject the cuts.
Bush's budget request to Congress in February proposed cutting funds for the High Density Drug Trafficking Area program to $100 million, from $228 million last year, and moving control from the White House drug czar's office to the Justice Department.
