Okay gang...if you are interested in THE Impeachment of the century...I have a link for you! It's Gordon't post over at the
Alternate Brain and here's the title for ya...
Bringing Bush To Court, because we're all Kitty Genovese's neighbors
Here's a teaser for you...It's a Tomdispatch.com book project, produced in conjunction with Seven Stories Press, a superb independent publisher, and officially published on December 1st. I think it's simply sensational. It makes a "slam dunk" case for the way we were defrauded into war; despite the grim subject matter, it's a beautifully designed little book, a pleasure to hold in your hand; and, because de la Vega is a natural as a writer, it's also thoroughly enjoyable reading. With genuine pride, I'll be turning the Tomdispatch.com website over to excerpts from the book this week, beginning with the posting of De la Vega's introduction on the Enronization of American foreign policy today. The actual "indictment" will be posted on Wednesday; the first day of grand jury testimony on Thursday.
Go read it and get a better idea of it...you may just want that book. Like Gordon says...it would make a great gift for the holidays for someone you know would appreciate it.
This coupled with Cheney's hunting trips, and we may have a female Democratic President in office...before 2008.

I always look forward to coming to Sumo and now this will be an added bonus. I think the question to impeach or not to impeach will determine if this is a nation of law and order or some wild west saloon from sea to shining sea.

Impeachment is an imperative, however, after the neo-con's attack on Clinton, I doubt anyone in Congress takes it seriously any longer. Still, the book might light some fires.
We were defrauded. This war is all about Cheney getting rich. Sometimes, as I think about what has gone on in the last six years, I become so physically ill that it is debilitating. The PNAC's five year plan began with the destabilization in the Middle East. They've gotten what they wanted.

I think we know its a saloon!! But maybe we can make SOME changes?
I am excited about this book, Sumo. (ok, granted, I have no life and it doesn't take much to excite me!)
I think ENRONIZATION is exactly the right kind of word!!!
I'm back on board, Sumo, and will pop in on you this week. Cant keep me off this computer! Go ahead and try. I'll get my mouse after you.
