My son wanted to know why it's illegal to put money in the washer and if I was going to jail because I find quarters in the dryer almost every week...

Speaking of money laundering, I thought Tom DeLay's daughter was also being charged with this too.

It's illegal to put money in the washer?

At this time in the morning, I can't quite appreciate jokes like that.

The latest is that the TX politician/prosecutor has NO evidence at all.
I don't know if the prosecutor has any evidence, but two separate grand juries seem to think there is at least some merit...

"Two grand juries have charged DeLay and two political associates in an alleged scheme to violate state election law by funneling corporate donations to candidates for the Texas Legislature. State law prohibits use of corporate donations to finance state campaigns, although the money can be used for administrative expenses...

...DeLay has denied wrongdoing and accused Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle - a Democrat - of having partisan motives. Earle has denied the accusation. Earle did not ask for the arrest warrant for DeLay but approved the court's request, his office said Wednesday.

DeLay 's Republican fundraising in 2002 had major political consequences, allowing the GOP to take control of the Texas Legislature. The Legislature then redrew congressional boundaries according to a DeLay -inspired plan, took command of the state's U.S. House delegation and helped the GOP retain its House majority."

How come he's not holding one of those bars with his name on it? Or is that not for everyone?

Good question. I wondered about that, too. Maybe the Sheriff is a Republican?

Who smiles in a mug shot?

moe.ron 10-21-2005 02:45 AM

Wow, that mugshot looks better then a driver license or a passport photo.

Kevin 10-21-2005 10:36 AM

I think he's wearing makeup.

You maybe right. That pic looks more like a headshot for an actor that a mugshot.
