The following stolen from PDiddy's blog:
-- The Lone Star Project catches the OAG peeping on little old ladies in the bathroom. Really. The only way to do this justice is to excerpt:
Earlier this summer, the Lone Star Project reported that Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is using $1.5 million in federal grant funds to prosecute Texas citizens who help senior citizens apply for ballot applications and cast their vote by mail. Most of the Texans being prosecuted by Abbott are senior citizens, African American or Hispanic, and ALL are Democrats.
More recently, the San Antonio Express-News wrote about Abbott's controversial activity. Abbott has turned up the heat by sending investigating agents to the homes of elderly citizens to interrogate them in person. There is now evidence that Abbott's agents have moved beyond aggressive questioning and are employing more intimidating tactics.
According to the sworn statement (pdf file) of Ms. Gloria Meeks, a 69 year-old Fort Worth community activist, two of Abbott's voter fraud agents came on to her property and looked into her bathroom window while she was unclothed and leaving the shower. Incredibly, the agents justified their privacy violation by explaining, that they thought they were peeping in the "kitchen window."
Greg Abbott can't do anything about our fraudulent voting machines, but he can have his agents looking in your bathroom window. Doesn't sound like something Jesus would do, does it?
Edgar, you are so right. But I must point out that that I have an opinion formed on actual intercourse, of some sort, with human beings, while you have been "busy" drafting 20+ posts to this board, and goodness knows how many others to..........others.
It is a soothing sound..........LOOOOOOOOOOOOSER.

Peeping in windows doesn't count as intercourse, of any sort, with human beings. No wonder you're defending this activity....
Window peepers, among whom you apparently align yourself, are the true losers. Plus, pretending to know about my personal habits and activities is a further indication of one shooting imaginary bullets.
There's an Episocopal church here in Pasadena that's being investigated by the IRS because of an anti-war sermon given by a guest pastor. At the same time, as noted in the LA Times, fundamentalist churches are given a free pass despite blatant lobbying of their congregations to vote the "correct" (i.e., conservative) way.
Seems like this administration never met a double standard it didn't like.
They probably think it's a secret.
This is turning into a Greg Abbott-palooza today because the news just gets weirder by the hour. From the Corpus Christi Caller (hat tip to South Texas Chisme):
The Texas attorney general's office has apologized to U.S. District Judge Janis Graham Jack for seizing thousands of X-rays, some of which now are missing, that are central to a federal investigation into potentially fraudulent diagnoses of the lung disease silicosis.
If you need to refresh yourself on this story, go here. Continuing...
In a letter to Jack dated Sept. 5, Abbott's office apologizes for the "confusion and misunderstandings" that the seizure caused, and noted that the attorney general's office should have sought approval from Jack before taking the X-rays.
"Not seeking prior leave of this Court was an error, and for that the Office of the Attorney General apologizes," the letter states.
Senior lawyers who were directing the investigation believed that approval from Jack had been sought, the letter continues. Abbott's officers were joking when they threatened to arrest Cosgrove, the letter said. Officers were told to collect the documents only if there was no objection from records custodians.

A judge ordered Abbot to stop enforcing this law the other day.
