Senator Wonder Bra (D-Roxbury)

Dianne Wilkerson stuffing bribe money into her bra

She had raised herself up from poverty, burst onto the scene as a crusading attorney for the NAACP, and championed good-government causes as a liberal legislative powerhouse. But 15 years after starting her career with the promise of a new kind of political leadership, state Senator Dianne Wilkerson was arrested yesterday and charged with a decidedly old-school form of corruption.

Wilkerson, the lone African-American in the state Senate, was taken into custody at her Roxbury home yesterday morning by federal agents and charged with accepting eight bribes totaling $23,500 to secure a liquor license that can sell for $300,000 on the open market and legislation to pave the way for a towering Roxbury development.

And, yes, that is a surveillance photo of the Senator stuffing alleged bribe money into her bra at a coffee shop next to the State House.

Hubris, thy name is Wilkerson.

Assorted Wingnuts

From an actual email and posting on a Christian website:

IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO SPIRITUAL WARFARE, PLEASE PRAY TODAY AND CONTINUALLY THAT ALL SUCH CURSES BE BROKEN AND SATAN’S PLAN FOR AMERICA BE DEFEATED, IN JESUS’ NAME. PRAY AND COVER MCCAIN AND PALIN WITH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO SPIRITUAL WARFARE, IT IS TIME YOU LEARN!!!

F Your I: What Some People “Think”
Posted on October 21st, 2008 at 1:30 pm by Steve

I found this post in the comments section of an ABC News Political Radar posting about Joe Biden speaking in Seattle. It’s instructive to me to read what some Americans “think” is going on in the world:

IRAQ is won, NATO is in Afghanistan (not just the US), no terrorism on US soil since 9/11, Financial crisis caused by Democrats and Socialist policy now fixed by bipartisan effort, my business has gone from $5M in 2002 to $92M in 2008, 401K invested in government bonds so no loss at all. From my perspective, Obama can only make a mess of things.

My favorite part is “no terrorism on US soil since 9/11.” The fact that the Republicans presided over the worst terrorist attack against the US in modern times is a benefit to them? Nice.

Abu Ghraib Coffee Table
Phillip Toledano’s installation America: The Gift Shop is definitely worth an on-line browse. Chilling and funny at the same time. (Pictured above is the Abu Ghraib Coffee Table.)
