biggest thing I saw Grassyl was: The Department of Justice in July began notifying various politicians, reporters, lobbyists and others that their conversations may have been picked up during wire taps. The phone taps occurred during a 38-day period this spring when the Alabama Legislature was considering a gambling bill.

Editing to add that I've just located that the bill was worked on in March & April.

That's not over by a long shot. I know a state rep who got all his affairs in order and warned his family to not be surprised if they saw him in a police car on the local news. Somehow he managed to escape Round 1. I sincerely believe those in the state congress that didn't take any bribes are in the minority.

Lordy at the stories those people who used to work at Colonial tell about Bobby.

Good time for a little Elvis...
Go tell that midnight rider.
Go tell that long-tongued liar.
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back-biter.
Tell God Almighty's gonna cut 'em down.
