Veterans Petition for Bush Impeachment
Spending time wondering why Bush hasn’t yet been impeached makes my head hurt. It’s a travesty, really. Congress has failed gloriously in its duty. I don’t care what the rationale is, the refusal to bring about impeachment hearings on a president who has so blatantly broken the law and violated the rights guaranteed by the [...]

Impeachment in Limbo
So the impeachment of Dick Cheney is in limbo once again, as Congress displays more of their already proven ineptitude. The White House made a jab at them over the issue: The White House, in a statement, said Democrats were shirking responsibilities on issues such as childrens’ health insurance “and yet they find time to [...]

Cheney on the Warpath
The Big Dick is bringing the United States even closer to war with Iran. On Sunday, he was out vocalizing his war chant to a local D.C. think tank. Experts at the conference said the vice president’s language, while stopping short of threatening military action, seemed designed to prepare Americans for what the administration might [...]

Now is the Winter of Our Discontent
There are times in history to which we of the present can look and clearly see a turning point, a major event or series of events that alter the course of the world for the worse. If only someone had done this, or if more people had done that, it could have been avoided. Through [...]

Considering that I’m a die-hard liberal and a rabid anti-Bush blogger, you might expect me to go ballistic about the Decider’s decision to commute Scooter’s jail sentence. Honestly, I’m quite ambivalent about it. But the underlying issues get me a bit worked up. Consider these quotes from the linked article: “This is not a man [...]

Cheney’s Alternate Reality
Bush and Cheney have both frequently demonstrated their weak grasp of reality on numerous occasions. According to a New York Times article, Cheney has lost his tenuous grip and slipped out of our reality completely into the Land of Preposterousness. Speaking to sailors aboard the U.S.S. John Stennis off the coast of the United Arab [...]

Reaping What Bush Has Sown
In a recent interview with Channel Four, Taliban military commander Mullah Dadullah made the following declaration: “The Americans have sown a seed. They will reap the crop for quite a long time,” Dadullah said. “We will get our revenge on them, whether in Afghanistan or outside.” What some Americans tend to forget is that, to [...]

Maybe Next Time
A suicide bomber blew himself up this morning outside the main gate of the United States military base at Bagram while Vice President Dick Cheney was inside. Mr. Cheney was not hurt in the attack. Too bad. Had the lunatic succeeded, he would have been doing us a service. It didn’t seem to bother Cheney [...]

The Fall of the United States of America
The United States of America was founded upon the premise than human beings have certain inalienable rights that cannot be denied. Throughout history, individuals and collaborative groups in positions of power have asserted their authority over their fellow man. While some were noble and good, too many were tyrannical and dictatorial. In the past, perhaps [...]

Bush Impeachment Pending?
According to Insight, the White House is preparing for the worst ahead of scheduled Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the Bush administration’s surveillance program (thanks to Terry Turner’s Watching Washington for the link). If there is any truth behind the article and it’s not just the Washington rumor mill spinning again, part of me wants [...]
