Quick update
I’m going to spend some time learning how to create themes for WordPress, as I cannot seem to find what I like either for my blog or my website. Plus I feel a little strange relying on the kindness of others. So, we’ll see how creative I can really be. Once I’m through with that,…

Censure Is Not English for Impeach
A new majority was not elected to Congress so that it could make as much a show of checking power as the chief executive has of adhering to the rule of law he is so fond of droning on about. What is required by Congress is action and accountability. If our leaders can preach about…

Is This Not a Nation of Laws?
With George W. Bush in office, the United States is a short man’s steps from republic to triumvirate to empire. A constitution only has meaning if men and women are willing to serve it by serving the people it was crafted to protect. Impeachment is necessary to press this republic into the future, not just…

Time to Impeach George W. Bush
Bush commuted Scooter Libby’s sentence today. This does not heal the nation, as Ford’s pardon of Nixon was erroneously said to have done. This does not put bad times to rest for the greater good. This is removing the justice system from accountability over executive abuse. Think about this if you want to disagree with…

Way to go Democrats. You suck. It would have been better to withhold ALL money then to give Bush a blank check on the U.S. invasion of the formerly unoccupied nation of Iraq. Pat yourselves on the back, you servants of the fundamentalists trying to bring on the Apocalypse. Jim Moran, you lost my vote.…

So, for…

Where’s W?
I attempt to keep my news options broad for a balanced view of the world, so I watch the Tagesschau podcast every day that I can, in addition to reading the various national and international news feeds (such as AP wire and Reuters, before they can be cannibalized) and newsblogs from around the Internets. I…

From the sidelines of Imperium
Up to this point, I have been on deadline and I’ve let this slide. I am getting down my thoughts before I actually see some news on this election. I’m voting in one of the tightrope senate battles, so in this most important election of my lifetime, I’m also voting to directly influence the power…

When they came for me, there was nobody left to speak up
The hair on the back of my neck is starting to rise. The Bush administration has made it possible for the roundup of 10,733 fugitives over a 1-week period under Operation Falcon. On the surface, this looks good for domestic security. Making the streets safe (and safety makes you feel good about the Republicans, doesn’t…
