Dennis Kucinich Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against GWB

Who Does The White House Think They're Kidding?

CNN reports:

The White House will allow key presidential aide Karl Rove and former counsel Harriet Miers to be interviewed by committees probing the firings of U.S. attorneys, but they will not testify under oath, Rep. Chris Cannon says.

The White House is too stupid to know that the rest of us know how stupid they are! Someone needs to tell them that by refusing to testify under oath, it means they are LYING.

Growing Movement to Impeach Bush for War Crimes

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson (a Democrat) is the latest person to call for the impeachment of George W. Bush. A KUTV.com article says the following, among other things:

“I do not say this lightly, but the record is plain: President Bush is a war criminal,” Anderson, a Democrat in heavily Republican Utah, said in another stinging denunciation of the Republican president. “He must be held accountable.”

Hear, hear.

Join Henry Kissinger, George Shultz and Me...

Former Republican Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz are asking George W. Bush to take the lead in a world free of nuclear weapons. Gee, this is as heartwarming and unexpected as Montana's recent announcement that they plan to do away with the death penalty.

I hope you'll join me in signing The Union of Concerned Scientists' petition to reject funding for George W. Bush's alarming plans to develop new nuclear weapons.

Here's what I wrote:

The world needs to add conflict resolution classes to all schools, K-12, so we can stop this awful, childish, animal-brained escalation of horrendous weaponry.

But until that happens (and I so pray for it) we need to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to stop George W. Bush from lending his support to the development and production of new nuclear weapons. This is just outrageous! Too many people in this world have gone stark raving mad.

Bush's Moles

The media reports that George W. Bush has had two benign moles removed from his face. Since one of the definitions of mole is:

A spy who becomes part of and works from within the ranks of an enemy governmental staff or intelligence agency.

We're wondering: What were the moles doing on George's face? Doesn't he have security people to keep those nasty people out of his bubble?

But because the word "mole" has other meanings, perhaps this report captures the correct mole.

However, if neither of the above definitions pinpoints the correct meaning of Bush's former facial moles, there's always this swell account.

GWB Too Busy to See Congress Diss His Iraq Policy

The Associated Press quotes a spokesman as saying that George W. Bush was too busy today to watch television to see how members of the House of Representatives were voting. The vote was 246-182 in a non-binding measure to reject the president's plan to deploy more troops to Iraq, where so far more than 3100 US soldiers have lost their lives. Those voting to oppose Bush's policy included 17 Republicans.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has called a test vote for Saturday on an identical measure, although:

"Republicans said in advance they would deny Democrats the 60 votes they need to advance the resolution, adding they would insist on equal treatment for a Republican-drafted alternative that opposes any reduction in funds for the troops."

Sometimes it seems like the only way to get through to Bush and his party about how insane his Iraq war is (which has wasted billions and billions of dollars that could have been used to help poor people in the US and to provide universal health care) is to do what pop star Ricky Martin did at a recent concert:

At a recent concert, the 35-year-old singer stuck up his middle finger when he sang the president's name in his song "Asignatura Pendiente," which includes the words, "a photo with Bush." The gesture last Friday prompted cheers from thousands of fans in the San Juan stadium.

On Thursday, the Puerto Rican heartthrob repeated his criticism of the Iraq war and explained his changed position on Bush.

My convictions of peace and life go beyond any government and political agenda and as long as I have a voice onstage and offstage, I will always condemn war and those who promulgate it," Martin said about his action in an e-mail statement sent to The Associated Press via a spokesman.
Martin, like other artists, has been highly critical of the war in Iraq.

Not Ready to Make Nice Indeed

Now that the controversial song Not Ready To Make Nice (written by Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, Emily Robison & Dan Wilson and recorded by the Dixie Chicks on their Taking The Long Way album) has won the Song of the Year award at the 49th annual Grammy awards (just now), it's one more sign that the George W. Bush administration is going down the tubes. The song defends an anti-George W. Bush comment by one of the Dixie Chicks. You go, Chicks!
