. . . a Houston TV station into silence. At least that's what it sounds like to me. I called (713) 222-2222 and got connected to Ed Ortelli's office (sp?) and spoke with his assistant. I asked a few questions like: "why are you refusing to run a factually accurate ad about Tom DeLay? How many calls have you received? Can you tell me then if you've gotten a lot of calls or just a few?" To all of these questions I received a simple, "Sir I would be happy to put you into Mr. Ortelli's voice mail" to which I stated: "that isn't going to do much good. So you are just going to stonewall this?"There are numbers to call to express you distaste. My suspicion is that it probably didn't take much pressure for the stations to give in.

Oh yes Tom Delay. Perry's best friend and another chronie of the Bushes. My my, I wish Delay would pull Perry down with him. I wonder how we can expose Perry's corruption too. Does anyone else have any good ideas on that?
I do know one thing there is an excellent article on the web that won a pulizer prize for journalism in Spring of 2005 about corruption in Union Pacific and it named Cheney? Would anyone like the website?
