Just a few minutes after 7:00 pm here in Houston, Texas the phone rings and the caller ID says, "Teletownhall 202-556-2270." I answer to hear a recording from Congressman John Culberson, 7th District of Texas, saying he is holding a live town hall on line.

It is obvious it is nothing more than an attempt to pull people away from hearing the President.

Is this guy the only GOP Congressman doing this? Anyone else get this kind of call?

Forgive my being so brief, but I am trying to listen to OUR President.

Today we saw prima facie evidence of why and how the Republican Party has become a regional party and no longer represents the best interest of the entire United States.

This morning U.S. Senator Richard Shelby, Republican from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, appeared on both NBC’s Meet the Press and CBS’s Face the Nation and attempted to discuss his opposition to a Detroit-based automobile industry bailout. On NBC he attempted to counter Senator Carl Levin, D-MI, and later on CBS he flapped his jaws with the same arguments he used on NBC but against Sen. Barney Frank, D-MA.

In both instances Shelby succeeded in proving that his interests are regional and self-serving, even though he failed to disclose that his home state will benefit significantly by the failure of GM or any of the the Big 3 American auto manufacturers.

Note: This diary has some really important news that is developing surrounding Hurricane Ike. Please try to skip over the first sixty or so comments about my spelling error (since corrected), and go to the meat of the story. Thanks! FP4A

Democratic Congressman Nick Lampsom (TX-22) is right this moment (9:15 pm CDT) on Channel 13 in Houston, being as politically correct but direct as possible, while using carefully chosen words to explain how FEMA is dropping the ball big time in Texas following Hurricane Ike.

According to Congressman Lampsom almost none of the promises made by FEMA before Hurricane Ike made landfall are being honored. In addition, FEMA is controlling the story, keeping the facts from the press, and trying to hide the ball they are dropping.

Even worse is the way the Federal Government is trying to keep the media away from the disaster areas and control the story. FEMA and the FAA are stepping all over Freedom Of The Press.

More below the fold.

If we can't give them credit for anything else, we must give the Republicans credit for being able to frame just about any subject in a way that is favorable to them, even if that means they have to change the facts, not tell the truth, or just plain spin the story.

The changes to the Republican Convention are a perfect example.

For weeks they have worried about what to do, or not do, with respect to Bush making an appearance at the convention. They have also been scared to death of the memories of their miserable failures before, during, and after Katrina that will be raised and made fresh by Hurricane Gustav. No matter how the spin it, changing the schedule for the convention, and not having Bush show up, and blaming it on the hurricane, is still, now matter what they call it or how the spin it, self-serving Damage Control.

Starting this past Monday, February 19th, Air America Radio (AAR) replaced The Al Franken Show with The Thom Hartmann Show. Thom’s show is on AAR live from 12:00 Noon to 3:00 PM Eastern on Monday through Friday, and replays at night (actually early in the morning of the following day) from 12:00 Midnight to 3:00 AM Eastern.

Unfortunately, XM Radio made a bad decision and is no longer carrying the entire Air America Radio line-up on channel 167, even though they still have the audacity to call Channel 167 the "Air America Radio" channel. Starting this past Monday they are now preempting The Thom Hartmann Show on AAR and substituting Ed Schultz for Thom Hartmann. This is the same dirty trick they pulled on Randi Rhodes at one time when they preempted the first two hours of her show with big ego gas bag schultz until finally listener complaints forced them to move the big ego gas bag to another channel and carry the entire Randi Rhodes show live on Channel 167.

I first posted this thought as a comment to another diary, and someone suggested I do a diary on the subject.

The laws in the state of Texas are pretty clear that a valid hunting license is required for both residents and non-residents to engange in the sport of hunting.

A hunting license is required of any person, regardless of age, who hunts any animal or bird in this state, except as specified below. Non-residents under 17 years of age may purchase and hunt with the Special Resident Hunting License (Type 102).

Taxpayer Money Spent On Crawford Ranch?

While tracking parallels in the second terms of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush, ran across this interesting little tid bit:

Soon after his reelection Nixon's popularity plummeted as the growing revelations of the Watergate affair indicated pervasive corruption in his administration, and there was widespread criticism of the amount of government money spent on his private residences.

http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/people/A0860014.html

Several searches for data concerning how much the taxpayers have spent on improving and adding onto the Crawford "ranch" did not find anything.

Has anyone seen or know how to find information about how much the Federal Government has spent on improvements to the Bush property in Crawford, Texas?

It has to be substantial. At the beginning of his first term that place was not much more than a small three bedroom house. The total absence of video or photographs coming from "the ranch" that show any details raise the suspician there is something there Bush does not want to public to see.

Any FOI experts want to go fishing for the facts?

The Houston Chronicle is reporting in today's edition that Scott McClellan's mother, Carol Keaton [McClellan, Rylander] Strayhorn is expected to announce her plans to run for Governor of Texas. That will likely put her in a three-way race with the current Governor, Rick Perry, and Senator Kay Baily Hutchinson.

Strayhorn will make her announcement Satruday at a midday outdoor rally near the state Capitol.

This raises an interesting question. How soon will Scotty use this as an opportunity to get out of the hot box at the White House and run home to Texas to help his mommy beat his current boss's successor?

Commissioner Everson, please pick-up the white courtesy phone.

"Hello, Commissioner Everson. Can you please tell us how and why this "De Facto Senator" James Dobson is able to actively engange in the business and the control of the Federal Government while actively participating in political and legislative activities, and still maintain his tax exempt status?"
