It’s the cover-up.
And I thought Ayres didn’t matter?

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!![]() Subscribe![]() CategoriesPagesTagsacademy

Sorry to be slightly off subject, but it relates to the notion of doing what you can get away with, and Chicago style politics:
Driving through the Chicago suburbs today I saw something that caught my eye and then made me do a double-take.
There was a big orange Illinois Department of Transportation truck with a stack of campaign signs piled in the back. As I pulled alongside I could see they were a stack of McCain/Palin signs in “slightly used” condition. By the look of things this crew was driving around pulling out McCain/Palin signs on government time!
It was one of those moments when I wished I’d had a camera and a couple of hours to follow those guys around! Not that it would have made any difference here in the People’s Republic of Northern Illinois…
Obama-ized version: “It’s not a crime, if it can be covered up!”
Media: “Yes, yes we can!”
Flatlander,
Dude! That could have been your Pulitzer moment. Huge. I’m talking HUGE. Turn the light on those Daley machine cockroaches!
At least git yerself one of them thar newfangled cell phone contraptions with a built in camera. The newer ones are getting pretty good and you can get a MoBlog going by just posting right from your handheld.
I love how lately, when Ayers name comes up, the left immediately jumps in with, “Oh, but McCain palled around with G. Gordon Liddy!
Point one, talk about Apples and Oranges. I don’t remember G. Gordon conspiring to blow up Americans, but I do remember him going to jail for following orders he should have been smart enough to refuse to follow.
Point two, I’m pretty sure I was still wearing short pants when my parents taught me that “everyone is doing it,” didn’t make it right.
Blackeagle, I was sorely tempted, believe me. If only I hadn’t a day job.
