Two trailer park girls go round the outside,

round the outside, round the outside.

Two trailer park girls go round the outside,

round the outside, round the outside.

Guess who's back, back again

Shady's back, tell a friend

Guess who's back, guess who's back,

guess who's back, guess who's back,

guess who's back, guess who's back,

guess who's back...

I've created a monster, cuz nobody wants to

See Marshall no more they want Shady

I'm chopped liver

Well if you want Shady, then this is what I'll give ya

A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor

Some vodka that will jumpstart my heart quicker

Than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital

By the Dr. when I'm not cooperating

When I'm rocking the table while he's operating "Hey"

You waited this long to stop debating

Cuz I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating

I know you got a job Ms. Cheney

But your husbands heart problem is complicated

So the FCC won't let me be

Or let me be me so let me see

They tried to shut me down on MTV

But it feels so empty without me

So come on dip, bum on your lips, fuck that!

cum on your lips and some on your tits

And get ready cuz this shit's about to get heavy

I just settled all my lawsuits, fuck you Debbie!

CHORUS

Now this looks like a job for me

So everybody just follow me

Cuz we need a little controversy,

Cuz it feels so empty without me

I said this looks like a job for me

So everybody just follow me

Cuz we need a little controversy,

Cuz it feels so empty without me...

Slang translated for Gerry.

we don't need a repeat of that disastrous leadership style. In addition, this speaks to Obama's poor judgement: the same poor judgement that has gotten him in the middle of dealing with nefarious and sneaky characters in the whole Rezco debacle which involves statewide corruption in Illinois...an issue that Obama apologists ignore and the mainstream media gives little attention to...yet Patrick Fitzgerald's indictments, if they arrive before the fall, could spell a quick and decisive end to Obama's ambitions for good...it is THAT bad for him.

One of the major problems for the Democratic party.

So many of us are just poorly informed lack the political sophisticated to be effective in the political milieu.

Fitzgerald's indictments in Rezko were handed down in 2005. There are ongoing investigations into possible conflicts of interest involving Blagojevich and others involved with Rezko but they are leading to Karl Rove.

Let's just hope Fitzgerald can stay on.

U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald chose not to run for reelection in 2004, leaving Patrick Fitzgerald without a congressional patron. In the summer of 2005, there were rumors that he would not be reappointed to a second four-year term in retaliation for his conduct in investigations into corruption in Illinois and Chicago government, as well as for his investigation of the Plame scandal.[9] As of May 15, 2007, those "rumors" had not been realized.

No wonder Republicans win elections. People like you are your own worst enemy.

Rachel Maddow calls it an "ethical freakshow of a universe."

Dorothy Parker and her referance to "what fresh hell..." ... Dottie, you had no idea. Flash forward to 2008.

I marvelled at Heller, Vonnegut, Bradbury, Paddy Chaevesky as having such wild imaginations when I was young. They got the true potential for social insanity, it wasn't so fictional after all. We are in a cultural dark age Mary Gordon has announced. Damn right.

Joseph Conrad had Kurz utter "the horror!".... in the Heart of Darkness. The Heart of Darkness... has found us!

CNN and its cameras swiftly get to the Katrina victims... and days go by and no National Guard. whaaaaaa? We can click our consciences off of Iraq more easily than what happens on our own soil... And yet .... this corrupt and incompetent administration steamrolls onward.

We invaded a country for its oil. The corruption and criminality of this administration regarding that is acknowledged by most of America. And still they rule and plot on. Are you hearing the Iran drumbeats?

Dominator societies enslave the non-ruling class. (Partnership societies empower the citizenry.) The US has one dominator corporate party with two wings. Corporate greed exploits individual narcissism and denial and prejudice. The dominators are destroying us and our and our children's future.

Can the pendulum ever shift.. or will it and Mother Earth be destroyed by global CORPORATE terrorism. GGT... can we get a drumbeat going on where the roots of our calamity hide? Oh yeah... we are too busy looking at the stories where the ethically bankrupt mainstream media shines its corporate batteried pen lights.

Norman Solomon said we don't have time for cynicism. Oy vey. So we wait for November 2008 and cast a meaningless vote in our local Diebold machines?

Welcome to The United States of Zimbabwe.

Hastert's name surfaces in connection with Fitzgerald's ouster

April 28, 2008; 1:01 p.m.

Add former House Speaker Dennis Hastert's name to the list of political heavyweights linked by a witness at the Antoin "Tony" Rezko trial to an alleged scheme to replace Patrick Fitzgerald as Chicago's U.S. attorney.

Former Rezko business associate Elie Maloof is testifying about a conversation he had with Rezko in February 2005 after Maloof received a grand jury subpoena. Maloof, who was involved in a Rezko business deal involving pizza franchises that led to a separate criminal case against Rezko, said he went to Rezko's Wilmette home to tell him about the subpoena.

He said Rezko cautioned him to reveal little. The investigation would soon be going away, Maloof said Rezko told him. "The federal prosecutor will no longer be the same federal prosecutor," Maloof testified that Rezko said. Maloof said Rezko explained "that Patrick Fitzgerald will be terminated and that Dennis Hastert will name his replacement."

The effect of that, Maloof said Rezko explained, would be that a new U.S. attorney would "order the prosecutor to stop the investigation."

Last week, prosecutors said another witness, Ali Ata, is expected to testify later this week that Rezko told him in November 2004 that a plan was in the works to have Republican National Committeeman Robert Kjellander lean on his friend Karl Rove, then the White House political guru, to fire Fitzgerald and kill the Rezko investigation.

Maloof said Rezko told him to keep his name out of any grand jury testimony because prosecutors were "going to tie it back to [Illinois Gov. Rod] Blagojevich."

During the conversation at Rezko's home, Maloof said Rezko sat with three cell phones in front of him. Maloof said he tried to make a joke about it, but Rezko was not laughing.

According to Maloof, Rezko said the three phones were "just in case somebody's listening," a remark Maloof took to mean that Rezko was worried about wiretaps.

Before the trial began, prosecutors identified Maloof as one of at least two people who made straw political contributions to candidates on Rezko's behalf. One of the recipients of Maloof's money was U.S. Sen. Barack Obama. Obama has donated the funds to charity. But Obama's name did not come up during Maloof's testimony.
