Holy shit, it’s June. Seems like it just turned May. Haven’t had a chance to really look at what’s going on in the world, but I thought this, from an op-ed in the Dallas Morning News, was kind of, um, scary:
…by all reports, President Bush is more convinced than ever of his righteousness.
Friends of his from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly wild-eyed, thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated “I am the president!” He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of “our country’s destiny.”
It’s really time for the Republicans to stand up and take this guy out. You can piss and moan about the wimpy Democrats all you want, but it’s the Republicans that have to quit enabling this crazy drunken cokehead bastard.
:yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :joe: :joe: :joe: :joe: 😮 😮 😯 😯
:fustrate: whatever :sheep: le
With the DC political scene moving at the speed of molasses at 20 below even if everyone ,demodorps and rethugs alike agreed he had to go it would still take three years to get rid of Bush..
but
Now if someone in the Pentagon were to reach that conclusion maybe twenty minutes.

Al Gore against any attempt to impeach Bush
WASHINGTON: Former US vice president Al Gore, a staunch critic of George W Bush, has said he doesn’t agree with calls for impeaching the president due to lack of “time” and “consensus.”

==============================
What they should do is have a referendum and see what the ‘consensus” really is .. If your rep and/or senator then does not follow your “consensus” the vigilance committee with a tree and rope is dispatched to have a long conversation. :reaper: :reaper:
Cocaine in the air in Italy: study
An Italian scientific study has found particles of cocaine in Rome’s air, Italy’s national research council (CNR) said Thursday.
The study by the council’s atmospheric pollution institute called the discovery of cocaine traces “a first” for a city

Border agent ignored warning for TB traveler
A globe-trotting Atlanta lawyer with a dangerous strain of tuberculosis was allowed back into the U.S. by a border inspector who disregarded a computer warning to stop him and don protective gear, officials said Thursday.
The inspector has been removed from border duty.
The unidentified inspector explained that he was no doctor but that the infected man seemed perfectly healthy and that he thought the warning was merely “discretionary,†officials briefed on the case told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is still under investigation.
—
The inspector ran Speaker’s passport through a computer, and a warning — including instructions to hold the traveler, don a protective mask in dealing with him, and telephone health authorities — popped up, officials said. About a minute later, Speaker was instead cleared to continue on his journey, according to officials familiar with the records.

RNC fires phone solicitors
The Republican National Committee, hit by a grass-roots donors’ rebellion over President Bush’s immigration policy, has fired all 65 of its telephone solicitors, Ralph Z. Hallow will report Friday in The Washington Times.
Faced with an estimated 40 percent fall-off in small-donor contributions and aging phone-bank equipment that the RNC said would cost too much to update, Anne Hathaway, the committee’s chief of staff, summoned the solicitations staff last week and told them they were out of work, effective immediately, the fired staffers told The Times.

The typical RNC technique is to shoot the messenger. :reaper: :reaper:

Gore can’t call for impeachment, for obvious reasons. Its up to the voters to bombard their reps to push for impeachment, not a former VP out of office, with a bigger motive for hating these guys than anyone else..
Don ‘t you think the Dems like it better having Bush melting down in office, as opposed to shutting down the whole legislature to push impeachment? Remember, you can’t investigate anything while the impeachment circus is going on.
I can’t believe that Randi is making anyone’s banana dance. Definite case of Maron withdrawal. I understand totally. :sammy:
It’s really time for the Republicans to stand up and take this guy out. You can piss and moan about the wimpy Democrats all you want, but it’s the Republicans that have to quit enabling this crazy drunken cokehead bastard.
As long as we’re sharing fantasies, Katrina vanden Heuvel and Penelope Cruz will be taking turns seducing me tonight.
:rofl2:
Seriously, their best idea for someone to inherit the holy Bushite throne is the guy from Law and Order, and you say you want a revolution? Puh-leaze.
:barf:
Like I said the other day the dems can use the war funding issues to get other legislation passed… It seems like a really poor way to go about it .. but … :yuck: :fustrate: :paranoid:
The view of many of the governmental process in the SBR for many years has been that it resembles a circus.. After watching C-span most people have to ask “How is this government” 😮 :yuck: :fustrate: :fustrate:
cresttwo , where are you listening to Randi?
Many Dems are saying no time for Impeachment. Even Bill Press and Al Gore are saying NO IMPEACHMENT!
I believe it is a matter of teaching the youth that lying and cheating is okay or NOT OKAY!
A.I.V. … … Turn It Again … … Red :hot: Chili Peppers
Fred, why the heck does C-Span or Wall SJ have a RETHUG ONLY Call-In … … :omg: :growl: :reaper: :growl:
The Unitary King George
As the nation focused on whether Congress would exercise its constitutional duty to cut funding for the war, Bush quietly issued an unconstitutional bombshell that went virtually unnoticed by the corporate media.
Re: 15 I think we know about that ..
It will be interesting so see if and when Bush declares himself dictator and chief if anyone pays attention.
:yawn: :yawn: :yawn:
I’m starting to record c-span for Randi later.
The problem with Washington Journal is that the callers are all clinically insane. They are all nuts who drone on and on without getting to a point. And the hosts are zombies that treat the callers with indifference and absolutely no critical analysis. Thus the callers act the way they do. You have to appreciate someone like Malloy who rips people to shreds if they get stupid. It keeps them honest.
The C-span channel on Long Island is not working. All it says is “No Signal.” :omg:
I got to see about 35 minutes of Randi. I thought she did a pretty credible job. Not too much ranting. But, Lamb had to ask her if illegal immigrants could vote after a caller accused Dems of wanting illrgal immigrants so that they would vote for them. Randi went off on a tangent about corporate corruption in Mexico.
Sue P., Rats, I missed Randi … but should be replayed on the SPAM 🙄
I Hope. I Hope.
a.i.v. …Dark Lady Butterfly Sasson or whatever Chopper
When the SPAM OR WJ or whatever , would only take rethug callers I got into something else. :nod: :doh:
I wish we had Rep. Ed Markey as our rep sigh…
Yet, S. of the H., Pelosi is DOING SOMETHING Finally … :pirate:
a.i.v.
Druid, I had an idea….what do you think about snail mail? If you could make a copy of one or two Danu baby picks, a stamp might accomplish what neither of us computer whizzes could not . :smack:
If you want to watch Randi on CSpan, she starts around 2 hours into the show.
Sue P , well perhaps
but C-Span made me fall asleep at computer :yawn: :omg: :smack: … TEA :joe: :yippee:
COOL Thanks Vernon re Randi :yippee: 😉
Yea Ms Rant :rant1: :banana: … she will not BORE Me To Sleep :yawn:
Randi did okay. She reminds me of Frances McDormand from Fargo. Yah. :sammy:
Greg Palast is on Randi’s show right now.

The same industrial chemical that led to a massive pet food recall was used in animal feed ingredients made by a U.S. company, health officials said.
The announcement Wednesday by the Food and Drug Administration was the first indication that a U.S. company had used melamine as an animal feed ingredient. Agency officials said that melamine and related compounds were used to bind feed for cattle, sheep, goats, fish and shrimp.
snip.
The FDA alerted feed manufacturers that ingredients containing melamine and related compounds were found in products made by Tembec BTLSR Inc. of Toledo, Ohio, and used by Uniscope Inc. of Johnstown, Colo. Tembec makes two products, AquaBond and Aqua-Tec II, which it distributes for Uniscope. The products are used in fish feed.
Uniscope also makes a product for livestock feed called Xtra-Bond, and it uses ingredients produced by Tembec. The FDA advised feed manufacturers and others not to use the products and to contact the two manufacturers.
The agency also advised manufacturers to recall feed made from AquaBond or AquaTech II. Officials said they had no idea how much feed contains the ingredients in question.
