Quite random, even for me. ('Brain'? What is 'brain'?)

Apparently only real men write herstory... right, James Cameron?


Now here's something to drive a Libra crazy....

The project is of vital concern to Tom and Christine DeLay, who have been married for more than 35 years. She has worked since 1994 with Court Appointed Special Advocates, a national organization that advocates for the interests of foster children.

The DeLays have also served as foster parents to three previously neglected children.

“The remarkable thing about Tom and Christine is they took in teenagers because teenagers are the hardest kids for teenage protective services to find place for,” said Linda Shultz, former executive director of Child Advocates of Fort Bend County....

He founded the DeLay Foundation in the early 1980s to support programs helping abused and neglected children and since 1995 had raised millions of dollars for them, data provided by his office show. Since 1995, charitable organizations have collected over 80 percent of the $5.36 million in recorded contributions he has raised for them.

DeLay has made plans to use a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable foundation created by him and operated by his daughter and several of his associates to fund political events at the Republican National Convention over Labor Day weekend. DeLay weakened House ethics rules last year, ending bans on free trips to and lodging at charity events where lawmakers mingle with lobbyists and businesspeople. His latest maneuver could free both political parties to use captive charitable organizations as vehicles for off-the-books influence peddling.

The brochure for DeLay's charity, Celebrations for Children Inc., openly solicits funds to be used to pay for a luxury hospitality suite for big donors, a yacht cruise, VIP tickets to Broadway shows, a golf tournament and a late-night party. For $500,000, a donor gets a private dinner before and after the convention with DeLay and colleagues as well as high-level staffers. These are functions for which political soft money was used during the 2000 conventions.

The Bush Admin. et al. keep saying Democracy21.org are partisan, Democratic-Party tools; the organisation keeps asserting they've called for investigations on both Clintons among other Democrats and are playing fair.

Now... who the blazes am I supposed to believe? (I mean, I know who I will, but that's just reflexes, not reasoning.)


Apropos of nothing, Execute 2000 is an incredibly teeny font. At least on paper. Not sure how well it iconises, but... heh. I'll find out. I found it at Dafont.com.

Thinking of icons, though... I posted a bunch of icon templates at icontemplated, if anybody cares. luminaraunduli, do you want them, too?
