I was just reading this article at Yahoo! about Tom DeLay. Apparently, he and his lawyers want a new judge assigned to case. “Why?,” you ask? The current judge donated to Moveon.org. According to the footer of the MoveOn.org main page, this is who they claim to be:
The MoveOn family of organizations consists of two entities. MoveOn.org Civic Action, a 501(c)(4) organization, primarily focuses on education and advocacy on important national issues. And MoveOn.org Political Action, a federal political committee, primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values.
In reality, they are a far-left political group that is anti-Bush and anti-anything-or-anyone-Republican-or-Conservative. Being that this is a “politically charged” case, I can’t say that I blame DeLay for requesting another judge. I’m not sure that the current judge could put personal biases aside given the nature of this case.
Anyway, my original reason for this post is that if you say his name aloud — go ahead and do it, I’ll wait — it sounds like somebody with a southern accent saying ‘time delay.’ Here are some definitions, via Google. While I’m ranting about his name anyway, what’s with the capital ‘L’? It doesn’t change the pronunciation; “delay” and “DeLay” spoken aloud are identical to me. To quote Nirvana:
“Oh well, whatever, never mind…”
