Oconee County, GA Politics

Whether this is an oversight or an actual attempt at stifling the flow of information remains to be seen, but because of the criticism of some schools and policies, this blog as well as the official Oconee County Democratic Committee website are currently blocked from view at the computers of the Oconee County School system.

Dr. Hale told me today that the political websites need to be part of the curriculum or requested by a teacher at the school. And some gutter snipe removed the cardboard from a Scott Berry sign in my yard, but they let me keep the metal stantion.

Go to Original The Goods on Goodling and the Keys to the Kingdom By Greg Palast BradBlog.com Thursday 24 May 2007 And the no longer "missing" Rove emails revealing the cagey scheme to steal 2008... This Monica revealed something hotter - much hotter - than a stained blue dress. In her opening testimony yesterday before the House Judiciary Committee, Monica Goodling, the blonde-ling underling to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Department of Justice Liaison to the White House, dropped The Big One.... And the Committee members didn't even know it. Goodling testified that Gonzales' Chief of Staff, Kyle Sampson, perjured himself, lying to the committee in earlier testimony. The lie: Sampson denied Monica had told him about Tim Griffin's "involvement in 'caging' voters" in 2004. Huh?? Tim Griffin? "Caging"??? The perplexed committee members hadn't a clue - and asked no substantive questions abou...
