« Previous EntriesAt least they’re going after SOMEONE with impeachment!
Monday, July 30th, 2007Tweet Today I’m traveling all day – from the West Coast at 6:45AM to the East at 10:30PM. Traveling isn’t as great as it used to be, but my mood really picked up when I read the headline “IMPEACHMENT TO BEGIN AGAINST GONZALES TOMORROW“. Guess Gonzo has met his match. He’s told one too many [...]
No permanent bases in Iraq!
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007Tweet I was about to head to bed, when I saw the story that Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s bill to ban permanent bases in Iraq passed. Very good news! Okay, so it’s mostly symbolic, but it is still another stab in the heart of George Bush’s plan for staying in Iraq forever. Because it had overwhelming [...]
Old home week – Alaskan Republicans under investigation
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007Tweet I’m originally from Alaska, where I got into politics. I once snubbed a Governor of Alaska because of his corruption, refusing to shake his hand during a photo-op at the visitors center I was volunteering in. I also had an incident where I confronted former Senator Frank Murkowski about lax airport security – back [...]
Promote impeachment, get fined and possibly arrested
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007Tweet This sounds quite nasty here, and there’s no way to know the entire story. What we do know is that a 74 year old man who was selling “Impeach Him” buttons at a farmers market in Maryland, and had been doing so for months is no longer welcome to do so. He said he [...]
How stupid can the general public really be?
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007Tweet Actually, it looks like they can be pretty stupid, it turns out. As I was checking some election news out on Yahoo!, when I saw the headline “Arnold for President”. Of course I clicked on it, and it took me to a special section over on Yahoo! to talk about Arnold’s 60th birthday on [...]
Fight the war, lose your assets
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Tweet Okay, this is totally rediculous. Bush has signed an executive order that basically says, if you interfere with the progression in Iraq at all, you will lose your assets. WTF? Send money to an orphan, who’s parents were killed by US soldiers – lose your house. Protest the war and confront a Congressperson about [...]
Just what happenned in John Conyer’s office yesterday?
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Tweet If you are interested, as I was, as to what exactly happened in Representative John Conyer’s office yesterday, when Cindy Sheehan marched into his office, there is a good writeup by David Swanson over who was arrested yesterday with Cindy. In all, it seemed like some of Conyer’s staff was sympathetic (as were some [...]
Cindy Sheehan arrested after her sit in
Monday, July 23rd, 2007Tweet Well, as expected, Cindy Sheehan did not get any news out of Conyers or Pelosi. Sure, Conyers said that if he heard from three more Representatives that they signed on to HR. 333 (Kucinich’s Impeachment of Vice President Cheney) that he would begin proceedings, but was that honest or a way to get Sheehan [...]
CNN YouTube debate
Monday, July 23rd, 2007Tweet I didn’t catch all of the debate; I was able to catch just the last fifteen minutes. However, two things struck me. First, the format of the debate was very interesting. I liked the concept; questions submitted directly to the candidates from the public. It makes me wonder what questions the Republicans should get… [...]
The Orange Revolution
Sunday, July 22nd, 2007Tweet Okay, as you are setting your clothes out tomorrow, you need to find something Orange. You see, tomorrow is the beginning of the Orange Revolution. July 23rd, 2002 was when the Downing Street Memo came about, saying that Bush and Cheney were fixing the intelligence around their needs, so that we could invade Iraq. [...]
