Below, a synopsis of the winning book.
======================================================
Manny Roberts had always been a friend and a decent man, as Georgette Robinson considered him. She admired him so much that she had always been his most enthusiastic political campaign supporter all the way up to the most important political position in the land-President of the United States.

Then Georgette caught Manny Roberts molesting a child. And it was only weeks until the presidential election.


Sure she told Manny's political party and she thought Manny would immediately be pulled from his candidacy with such knowledge known about the candidate.

Wrong.

It was too late for the party to recruit another candidate, and Georgette was told that no one would believe her anyway.

Desperate to keep a pervert from becoming President, Georgette investigates other strange instances of Manny Roberts involving children. She discovers a nefarious, but well-hidden, path of payoffs and bribery.

With the presidential election weeks away, Georgette stands alone in her quest to get someone's-anyone's-attention about this matter.

Finally, she gets the attention of all of America, but in a very unorthodox manner that landed her in jail.

In the end, Georgette is destined for greatness. Just as soon as she gets out of jail.

Today

~~~~~~~~~~
The last week of July 2005 is filled with historic events deep in the heat of summer.

In this Week Just Passed we note the sidelining of spaceship Discover, a truly bad week for the Boy Scouts, and all four London bombers arrested before our eyes!

It's Notable/Quotables and there's some doozies.

This is a fabulous Web Site of the Week.

The actual nesting of a hummingbird is recorded.

The pics are amazing. A lady found a hummingbird nest and got pictures all the way from the egg to leaving the nest. Took 24 days from birth to flight. Because you'll probably never in your lifetime see this again.
