Interesting article in yesterday's NY TImes (below), which knocks into a cocked hat the Republican mercenaries who are trying to wrap President-elect Obama up in the same tortilla with indicted Illinois Governor BLAGOJEVICH.
Obviously, President-elect Obama was embarassed by BLAGOJEVICH's veto of an ethics bill banning "pay to play" with contracts. The veto made Democrats look bad. Barack Obama thereupon asked Illinois Senators to adopt it over the Governor's veto. State senators did so unanimously.
Then the money-crazed Governor ROD BLAGOJEVICH, recorded by wiretaps and room bugs, lambasted Senator Obama and his staff for sharing only their "appreciation" but no money in connection with the selection of an interim U.S. Senator to be appointed to replace Senator Obama. The U.S. Attorney (a Republican appointee) said there was nothing to connect President-elect Obama to the BLAGOJEVICH scheme.
That's not good enough for the supercilious, hate-filled speculators, who bloviate on TV and radio to dittoheads. So much for tatterdemalion Republican twits trying to impugn our President-elect.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
