Gloria Romero: Hypocrisy of voting on fate of convicted senator
American hustle.
Or, should we call it American shuffle – with a clever California two-step?
The conviction last week of state Sen. Rod Wright, D-Inglewood, on eight counts of perjury and voter fraud raises new questions about what the upper legislative house in Sacramento should do now that a jury has convicted one of its members.
At the heart of the case were questions over the location of Wright's "domicile." Unlike in Congress, legislative candidates must reside in their districts – including when they file nomination papers.
Now, senators are grappling over what to do about a newly convicted felon sitting in their midst.
Under the state Constitution, a senator can be expelled on a two-thirds vote of the 40-member Senate. Of course, a legislator also has the option to resign – as did Sen. Frank Hill when the Whittier Republican was convicted in 1994 in a corruption sting.
But with a Shakespearian-like wringing of hands, Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg emerged from an "investigation" meeting, saying that he was stripping Wright of his committee chairmanship and would seek counsel from colleagues on further discipline. Only a few weeks had passed since Steinberg removed the committee posts from Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation.
Trying to resolve matters with a Senate vote, however, may prove somewhat embarrassing. You see, the collegial "counsel" Steinberg receives may well amount to the pot calling the kettle black.
For example, the recently announced successor to Steinberg as leader of the Senate, Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, has had past political opponents accuse him of carpetbagging, that is, moving into a district to to qualify to run for a particular seat, as referenced in an LA Weekly story from 2006. (It's a common political practice and is legal.)
One de Leon opponent, longtime district resident Elena Popp, rightfully called it an "old boys network." At the very least, it was a distasteful magical carpet(bag) ride.
After de Leon vacated his Assembly seat, he supported current Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez, D-Los Angeles, who also immediately faced residency challenges. A 2012 YouTube video captures him giving three answers about where he lived, finally, laughing "I move a lot."
They weren't the only ones. When former Monterey Park Democratic assemblyman Mike Eng termed out, he helped quash a strong district candidate and endorsed Ed Chau, the eventual victor, who appeared to have hastily shuffled into a newly identified "domicile" apartment within the new district and away from his family.
Maybe political hustling is as American as apple pie. Maybe it can even be stretched so far as to be sold as truth. But it sure stinks and is in no way ethical.
I don't condone what Sen. Wright did, but neither can I condone the hypocrisy of legislators "investigating" him, much less voting to expel him. Many of their hands aren't exactly clean.

Although boring, this debate will rage and the good Mormon=conservative myth will keep being told until -- and only until -- one of the senior G.A.s (not Marlin Jensen) stands up in General Conference (not in a letter) and says (to Utah Mormons) "We are serious when we say there is enough good (and bad) in either political party that a worthy LDS can support either in good faith -- as many of us do and our predecessors have always done. Those who have made comments (recently and in the past) about the impossibility of being liberal and Mormon were and are simply wrong."

My, my, my, we are so quick to judge a person without knowing all of the details. It reminds me of Obama and the "Stupid Police" issue.

Actually the Church does teach where we came from, why we are here, and where we
will be going after this life.
I happen to know that there are conservative democrats and liberal republicans. The problem is that neither of these two aspects live long in the current two party system.
I don't agree with Mero on everything he says nor do I think he is coming close to speaking for the Church. He is a member of the LDS Church with his own personal opinions as all of do.
To those who are saying the Church is wrong to teach illegal immigrants the Gospel, let me ask where would Jesus Christ teach them. Would he tell them to go home to their country and wait for him or would he stop and teach them where they are? It isn't wrong to teach them anything at all. It would be wrong to teach them not at all.
We are not judging the individual at all where he lives nor do we feel it wrong to go into prisions if asked. Christ established his work amoung the dead during the three days between death and resurrection.

Apparently Mr. Mero believes it is ok to discriminate against someone in employment and housing because they don't approve of their lifestyle. I don't approve either however treating people as second class citizens is a violation of our constitution which many conservatives claim to hold in such high esteem.

Louie Gohmert Warns Obamacare Will Lower Life Expectancy
In an interview with Lars Larson last week, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said he opposes "fixes" to Obamacare because that would preserve the health care reform law, which he wants to see postponed until it is fully repealed. Gohmert then told Larson that the Affordable Care Act will actually lower life expectancy in the US.
"I'm willing to postpone as much of it as we can, hoping that in 2016 we really will get a president who has the best interest of a free nation at heart and not one going socialist," Gohmert said. "If we keep doing little fixes to it, that also helps keep it, so I would rather postpone it as much as possible without doing little fixes because the little fixes could end up giving us a system where we see the morality rate start coming down, you die earlier, not because it's an actual death panel but because you don't get the treatment."
Gohmert may be curious to know that life expectancy in America is actually lower than in Western countries with universal health care.

Patriots lose free agent lineman Donald Thomas to Colts
|03.12.13 at 5:45 pm ET
The Colts have come to terms with offensive lineman Donald Thomas, who started seven games last season for the Patriots.
The 6-foot-4, 305-pounder out of UConn, who has also played for the Lions and Dolphins over the course of his career, played in all 16 games for New England last season, and proved to be an important part of a Patriots' offensive line that had several moving parts over the course of the 2012 season.
Thomas is the first member of New England's free agent class to sign elsewhere.

By: Marlene Slominski
I had just broken up with my boyfriend who had a son. I was feeling very sad about everything. I loved this boyfriend and his son very much. When I was going to sleep, I said to the Lord, "You have to help me I don't think I can get over this by myself". That night I dreamed that my boyfriend and I are were in an arguement. I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned and saw the most beautiful women I had ever seen. I knew in a moment she was an Angle. She said to me don't do this to yourself. She had the complexation of a human but without a single blemish. Really beautiful eyes and hair of gold. Not like any other hair I had
ever seen. To this day I do not feel sad anymore about that relationship ending. I know without a doubt, the Lord sent me one of His Angels to help me.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

Just curious to see what time all your LOs usually go to sleep for the night...usually!
What is your LOs normal bedtime? (poll)
Audree goes down NLT 8pm & STTN since 3 weeks old! She sleeps usually until 0730-0830..
I have found that putting him to bed earlier keeps LO from waking up in the night. Most people think it's backwards...but even if he goes to bed at 6pm he still sleeps until 6am. I have tried for a later wake time in the morning...he is just hard wired for 6
Midnight??? I cannot even imagine. Maybe they are sleeping too much during the day?
We were always putting our LO to sleep at 7, on the dot, but when the time change happened around the same time as what i'm assuming was a growth spurt, He suddenly started going to bed as early as 5. So really, consistency is off but anywhere from 5-7. Never any later, and he sleeps through the night now until 6 or 7 am, but yesterday he slept until 9!
Stephanie & Tim, since Oct. 19, 2009
DS: Jack Everett (7/29/11)
i start trying to put him down at 8 and he is usually out by 8:15....sometimes he wakes during the night and sometimes he doesnt. usually sleeps until at least 7:30 am
DS (8/11) & baby girl born 8/24/15 (vbac!)
I am so jealous of all of you with good sleepers. My ds is up so many times a night - sometimes every 1-2 hours. I feel like I've tried everything - different bedtimes, etc........ sigh.......
