A phony war record plus an Indian casino can only add up to John Doolittle

As if Roseville’s John Doolittle didn’t have enough trouble along comes this little nugget further implicating the congressman representing California’s fourth congressional district.

It seems a gentleman by the name of Glenn Marshall has claimed to have earned several military honors while serving with the Marines during the Vietnam War. Marshall, is the tribal chairman of Mashpee Wampanoag who is applying to build a Indian resort casino in Massachusetts.

It seems while Marshall did serve in the Marines, there are no records indicating his claims of receiving five Purple Hearts or a Silver Star.

So what is the connection between Marshall and Doolittle?

As one might expect, Doolittle wrote a letter on Marshall’s behalf to then Interior Secretary Gail Norton seeking Federal recognition. What this story did not mention was whether or not the Mashpee was a client of admitted felon Jack Abramoff, a close and trusted associate of Doolittle.

Given both Abramoff and Doolittle’s transgressions, this certainly does not look good.

This certainly cannot help the embattled Congressman, can it?

When the music's over turn off the nights

That was bound be the song playing at the RNC these days. Given Dubya's Nixon level of support, currently around 28%, his lowest number.

Bush low polling and the lack of a coherent domestic and foreign policy were evident Thursday night as all 10 Republican candidates seeking the Republican nomination invoked the name of neither the current Bush or his father, rather played leap-frog canonized the late Ronald Regan.

Can your really blame them, nothing the Bush administration done has been popular, or more importantly, successful. There "doing a heck of j0b though," a Dubya might tell Brownie.

PLEDGE DRIVE!

Last Monday we started a pledge drive and the Friday crew is making lots of offers to help.
At the basic membership fee of $25 as a gift one can receive either a "Ritmos Latinos" Compilation CD from Mike or a bag of organic vegetables from Jesse of Subterranean Suture and Sherilyn. They have tomatoes, chard, eggplant, zucchini, and beets. (They have more options but off the top of my head I can't remember.)
Kyle also made an effort to get callers by doing a Bob Dylan impression and I offered to draw thank you cards to whoever calls in while I'm there.
And during this drive T-Shirts will be only $5 more with basic membership.
We're Oroville's only community station. And we have variety-galore!
So... let's get out there and gets some support.

Left Turn on Bird Street to make pit stop

Hi All! Tom and I are taking a short exit from LToBS. Tom has a short term transporation jam and I have several family obligations that will keep me busy this summer. Our show had been airing alternating Saturdays from 9-11am. Hopefully our slot will still be available later this summer so we can return. Dan
