I say "finally!" Someone has stood up against the Bush machine and forced them to put on their brakes! I am talking about Dick Cheney's chief-of-staff, Scooter. Finally, a big fish is pulled out of Bush Pond to flop and squirm on the ground! I just hope his indictment leads to more flopping!
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky." That is the quote which drove Bill Clinton to impeachment in the United States House of Representatives. He was found liable for perjury by the House and sent for trial before the Senate, which thankfully acquitted him of any wrongdoing.
It seems that when your political party controls the Congress and the White House you can seemingly be above the Constitution of the United States. Basically you are free to do as you please, much like a dictator (sounds strangely familiar...i.e., Saddam).
I am not one to really predict the future (or am I?), but it seems to me if in 2006 the Congress reverts to Democratic control there may be a coup against Mr. George. He could be impeached by the House and tried before the Senate! What a glorious day it would be!
Thinking about a man who got a blowjob in the White House from his intern, and a man who lied to start a war that has cost us hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of Americans' lives, I'll make the man who screwed America accountable!

Miers Stands Down
Harriet Miers withdrew her name for the nomination as associate justice of the Supreme Court.
Who's next? An ultra-conservative? Probably...

Miers Controversy
It's time to recall Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court. She is highly polarizing in both liberal and conservative groups. Now, George Bush says he won't release some of her documents because it might violate confidentiality. Who knows!
The main point is she seems too wishy-washy on the issues and who knows where she stands.
King George it's time to recall your nominee!

Justice for Saddam
Poor Saddam has been fed to the wolves. I am not saying he is an innocent man, but he deserves the same rights afforded other world leaders who have been struck down and are now charged with various crimes against humanity. Why do Serbia and Rwanda have international courts and not Iraq?
You don't see Slobodan Milosevic being tried in downtown Belgrade for crimes he may have committed. He was sent to The Hague to stand trial before an international tribunal of justice.
Why shouldn't all world leaders experience the same privilege?

Defiant Saddam
I loved what I read in the Lexington Herald-Leader today about our best pal, Saddam.
It seems Saddam was ordered by the judge to state his name to the Court. To which Saddam ordered the judge to state who is was and what his authority is. He was then asked again to state his name.
Saddam stated, "As an Iraqi you know who I am." That would have been enough to send chills up and down my spine if I was the presiding judge! It was almost to the point of saying "I am the president, who the hell are you, you insignificant moron?!"
It seems Saddam has his faculties intact with the sweet taste for propaganda!

Terror in New York...Still!
Okay, I've heard about this terror plot these evil Iraqis have hatched against the innocent, benevolent United States. Now at first glance, I see that things are alright. The NYPD is in charge of this situation; however, I am reminded of the news conference last week regarding this situation, and something bugs me about it.
First, all the media outlets, like CNN, were trying to get the inside scoop on what was going on. The one thing I heard mentioned over and over was the fact no one seemed to be in charge of the situation. Sometimes authorities were confused if anything was going on at all and then others were clueless about who should be speaking to the media. That tells me a lot about the chain-of-command: there is none! Each federal agency and state agency are still essentially independent.
After 9/11, we are supposed to be so prepared for the worst. Well, Katrina, a hurricane that we had on our radars for days, couldn't adequately be planned for properly. Now how can we plan for something that we can't see? Honestly.
We would be living in a fool's paradise if we believe that terrorism is gone from our country forever; it isn't. I have no doubt that somewhere, someday they will get to strike us again. It is simply a waiting game. And sadly, when that day comes, we will be in the same boat we were in on September 11, 2001. All the different government agencies running around like chickens with their heads chopped off!
Of course, as a liberal, I don't say this much, but if you truly want to be effective in administering catastrophes you must downsize! Instead of adding a government agency, you needed to subtract one and consolidate its assets and write-off its liabilities. CONSOLIDATE! That's the key word!
The more people you add to the mix, the more confusion and shit you get. Sure, it may sound big and bad--Department of Homeland Security--but it has about as much authority as I would in a forest of wild gorillas. You have to hit your enemy hard and fast, and our enemy was never Iraq, which is precisely where King George's mind is focused.
Who elected that quack anyhow?! It wasn't me! :)

George's Mess
George Bush's big announcement was to tell us that Iraq will be the center of all terrorists activity if the U.S. pulls out its forces now. Let's see, who created this terrorist haven?
A- GEORGE BUSH!
Now we are stuck with George's hell hole for years to come!
Thanks America for electing a complete moron as president!

Strife among the Ranks
George's conservative base isn't even sold on Miers as the next associate justice on the Supreme Court. It must be her wishy-washy attitude. I read the questionnaire she filled out in 1989, during her campaign for city council. It would seem she is not opposed to homosexuals having the same rights as heterosexuals, they just can't have sex! That's too cute!
I think this woman and I could be friends, but not because she says people can't have sex--it's just that she can sit comfortably on both sides of the fence at the same time! That's so me!

Martial Law
What's up with George and the use of the military to solve all the world's problems. Now it would see if the "bird flu" ever takes out the police across the United States the military will be fully prepared to step in and do what is necessary to retain law and order.
Is the government planning on some sort of catastrophe regarding some mysterious virus? It would have to be one hell of an infection to require the use of the army, in my opinion. With that said, in New Orleans, the police force was incapacitated. We are now getting reports that the New Orleans police force even engaged in malicious activities during the days following Katrina. That wasn't good enough for the declaration of martial law! So, I think George needs a little more evidence to substantiate his request than a little flu.

Gas Woes
Well, I am getting used to the high gas prices. I was reading some complaints made by others on the Internet. I don't really see how the higher gas prices should really change your lifestyle. I mean I went from about $20/week to about $33/week. That's about $13 difference each week, but it's not going to change the way I live! That is just $52 more each month on gas. Sure, I could find something else to do with that money, but I guess I need to drive my car too!

Harriet Miers
Well, it seems King George has played the same hand as he played with Roberts. Ol' Georgie is giving us some nominees that have no pasts. They are relatively unknown figures that are emerging from the shadows. Frankly, John Roberts was one too many! If you are choosing judicial nominees that are relatively unknown to the mainstream, then how can we judge them accordingly. Harriet Miers is a lawyer who has worked closely with George Bush for over 10 years; yet, she seems a light-weight outside of the establishment.
Of course, I realize judicial nominees, as a rule, aren't going to be as well known as a presidential nominee, but we need to know who these people are because we are awarding them lifetime appointments to make decisions for us that will impact us for generations! That is a very awesome task. I have a feeling deep down in the pit of my stomach that George is nursing some vipers for us, much like Tiberius did with Caligula in ancient Rome. They seem pretty harmless on the outside, but once you turn them loose they'll bite you quicker than you ever thought possible! Nice and deadly, too!
It's already too late with Mr. Roberts, but we can throw the brakes on today and take a deep, hard look at this woman who is slated to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States.

Up to 3...
Today, Connecticut became the first state to recognize civil unions between homosexuals without a court order. I think it is a step out of the Dark Ages and the acknowledgement that all people are equal before the law.As you can see, Justice is truly blind, and her scales are balanced; therefore, it is unfair to say that one group has a right that another group doesn't.
Only 47 more states left to go!
