Bush Lies and all hat no cattle. What's news? Has anyone heard or read what considerations and what srtategy State us pursuing in Pakistan?

Anyone want to chat about the Impeachment of Richard B Cheney? I read tonight about how busy the HJC is. Conyers should staff up and take this on with the right tone. Let's get the facts. Subpeona subpeona supbeona subpeona.

Seems like no MSM news service[sic] is saying much about Mmmmmm peach-mint.

"Get that ice cream off the table!"

HA!

Neil,

Spinless Dems following Pelosi's withering, wimpy lead? There's no "Two Party" system, there's only "THE System" and we're getting what we deserve, and we're getting it good and hard!

One snake with two heads (R & D) - the lump in the middle of the snake is all that is left of the Mainstream Media.

It is not, nor has it ever been democrats versus republicans - it is us versus them. Us being the people - them being millionaire politicians no matter
the party.

THAT is why I hate partisanism - it corrupts our side.

President Shrub will give about the same amount of support to the Pakistanis rising for democracy as his daddy did to the Iraqis after telling them to rise up. Thankfully the situation there is relatively non-violent, for now at least.

Are we free to reference other topics here as on the old blog?

I want to know why the f--- real tax-exempt status abusing threats like John Hagee aren't on that list. *grrrr*

A guy from the ACLU called me yesterday. He sounded frazzled and freaked out. I asked him what the hell was wrong with the jellyfish Democrats in congress. He told me it made no sense to him. He said they were behaving as if they were being blackmailed. What happened yesterday with the Cheney impeachment thing was weird. The worst President in our history with Nixon approval ratings still gets everything he wants. If Bush pulled a Musharaff, would anyone lift a finger to stop him?

The problem is mmmm peach-mint has more sweet flavor than the Dems can handle so they stick to safer subjects. They are political diabetics!

"They are political diabetics!

Snort - lololol

"Are we free to reference other topics here as on the old blog?"

No NEVER speak of anything except . . . what were we talking about?

HA!

Re: tax exempt - there are so many things. Before the exempt status I would like to see them stop the $$ going to faith based orgs. Seems like double dipping to me.

Capt, I've been spending most of my time in the Megatokyo webcomic forums doing things like writing funny rescripts and such, trying to recover from the constant horrors of politics. Now that I'm recharged I'd start my own political comic but I suck at drawing people. This news just begs for a picture of Jesus hanging from a dollar sign instead of the cross.

Eye's,

Some very good comic artists can barely do stick figures. I bet yours are better than some.

Almost everything going on today is comical. What isn't funny is just plain insane.

(That is kind of funny too)

"BREAKING: Wexler Will Urge House Judiciary Committee to 'Schedule Impeachment Hearings Immediately'"

at Brad Blog:

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5263

Go Wexler!

Didn't Congressman Kucinich bring up Articles of Impeachment yesterday on Vice President Cheney?

Wasn't it the Democrats that tabled it, after most of the Republicans voted to debate the issue?

Just wondering.

Tomcantu --- Note quite like that exactly, but yes, many Repugs voted to send the articles to committee rathr than just table the matter.

Kind of like a game of chicken. The R's might be calling the D's bluff - but might also have made a bad move sending it to committee.

I pause to get too excited - so far we have the teflon Dick-tater and his willing ape-boy dodging any responsibility for anything.

Another 360 DJIA lost and the dollar drops more?

"I can no longer buy from overseas"

Good, buy locally as possible.

Threes?

Dear David B. Benson,

Actually, it was, according to the Washington Post today, Stenny Hoyer (D-MD) who directed the resolution to the House Judiciary Committee after his failure to table it.

Thanks for helping clarify it, though.

1- Kucinich impeachment res
2- Wexler to schedule it ASAP
3- ENDA

Three.

And my favorite coffee is from Holland - UGH - no "local" extra dark Senseo.

[...]
As expected, the resolution was immediately met with a motion to table that would've effectively scuttled any further impeachment discussion. That move came from Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), who like most rank-and-file Democrats opposes attempts to impeach Cheney or President Bush.

What happened next came as a surprise to virtually everyone. Instead of taking the opportunity to kill impeachment, Republicans saw an opportunity to embarrass Democrats and force them to spend several hours on a resolution that most believe has essentially no chance of passage.

As the 15-minute vote was nearing its close, Republicans began requesting -- one at a time -- the opportunity to change their votes. This not only prolonged consideration of impeachment, keeping the vote open for an hour longer than scheduled, it shifted enough support to scuttle the Democrats' attempt to kill the bill.

“We don’t wish to save the Democrats from themselves when their left wing exposes themselves,” Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) told Roll Call, noting that Democratic leaders were trying to draw as little attention as possible to the impeachment issue by voting to table the resolution. “When there’s an opportunity to show their strong left base, it’s important for it to be seen,” he added.

The motion to table failed on a 251-162 vote with 165 Republicans voting against tabling the impeachment resolution. Democratic leaders -- and even Kucinich's staff -- expected the tabling motion to pass easily giving the quirky Democrats bill a quiet death. Even the 86 Democrats who voted against their party's efforts to kill the bill came as a surprise; Kucinich's resolution had 22 co-sponsors and an aide to the Congressman told RAW STORY before the vote that few Democrats who weren't co-sponsors were expected to vote to keep the bill alive.

It is likely all-for-not but I bet the res has a few on the hill concerned. That is better than nothing.
