You’re quicker on your feet than I am. I always botch the pre-fight witty riposte, which wouldn’t be so bad if I could actually handle the fighting part. Just last week, some guy in an SUV almost ran me over–he was on his cell, of course–so I tap on his window, and here’s how it went down:

HIM: Touch my car again, I’ll rip your fuckin’ head off.

ME: Yeah? Well, watch where you’re going or I’ll… I’ll rip YOUR… fucking… head… just watch where you’re going, asshole!

I believe they call that “le mot shite.”

Help us Russ Feingold…..you are one of our only hopes…..

Think of the time element. The majority of the country is moving away from the GOP, evidence will gather, and Bush has left himself no choice but to become even more intransigent. By the time this would reach the Senate, a fully fed-up public isn’t going to be impressed just because Republican Senators have the technical ability to block conviction.

Then why bother trying to “legislate”? Why NOT spend the time on hearings and probes and subpoenas and, yes, impeachment?

The point isn’t necessarily to kick him out of office. The point it to cause him pain, anxiety, aggravation, embarrassment, humiliation, and so forth. Even if we don’t have the Senate votes to convict.

And, BTW, it would not be uncool to hold such a trial, disgorge all the crap we all know about and can’t keep track of, there’s so much, AND all the crap we know is still hidden but is definitely find-able, AND all the stuff even we don’t know is hidden, and then dare the Senate Repubs to fail to convict. Let them. Get all the shit out on the table and force them to defend or minimize it.

What’s not fun about that? What’s not worth our tax dollars about that? What’s not at least the beginning of reviving truth, justice, and the American way about that?

Hey, Solitary and all that nasty shit. Do you have a folder called “shit i wish i wrote”? ‘Cause I do and I just put that in there. Means I’ll steal it after a decent interval.

It’s almost as good as when a drunk challenged me to a fight in sunnyvale back in ’97. I told him I couldn’t fight him as he had something on his shirt. Thought that was going to work, too. But he scampered back up a moment later and demanded “Hey! You getting smart“? To which I replied “I’m sorry, I had no choice. Stupid was already taken”.

Hmmm, maybe you had to be there…

The Washington Post doesn’t insult your intelligence so much as challenge your intelligence to a duel and then shoot your intelligence in the back two paces shy of the number of paces the Washington Post and your intelligence agreed upon.

Duros, there’s a great discussion going on at Orcinus right now about the EO. Excellent debate in the comments about what it all means.

Totally. I’ve retro-fitted my tea pot with a tiny camera with this in mind. Does anyone know if they let you bring tea pots to the Freedom Camps?

Ratings, yes. But it only gets you the serious consequences if you’re a Dem — which is weird, since everybody knows the Dems are the Nookie Party.

Just exercising my 1st amendment rights

Enjoy ‘em while they last.

I’m planning on taking the Colonel Hogan role

I dibs Richard Dawson’s part.

Emotionally, I dream of the perp walk down the mall and trials for treason for the lot of them.

(Note to FBI: Just exercising my 1st amendment rights, that all. Not seriously advocating rebellion, sedition or anything like that. Everything’s fine here, now, we’re all fine. How are you?)

1- unless he is video taped being given a blowjob by his underage cocain dealer, the press and enough republicans will not support it- sure ruin the foundation of the Republic- wipe your ass with the Bill of Rights- its all wacky fun- but sex- ahhh sex gets ratings.

2-I think the Dems want him to be in the Oval Office next November because right now Bush is a walking ad for why you should not vote Republican in 2008.

Hellooo, Fraulein….

I’m betting: False flag attack on a liberal city, just close enough to the elections that, Whoops, they have to suspend in the name of Freedom.

There’s your math, and there’s the math.

Effin’ creepy, man. How do you spell Reichstag?

Why is there nothing on this Executive Order?

1.) House impeaches Bush
2.) Senate Republicans and Very Wise Old Men Of Washington rally around the President
3.) Senate fails to impeach Bush when Republicans specter and vote ‘no’
4.) GOP hails this as a victory and a vindication of Bush and his policies
5.) ….
6.) PROFIT!

2. Nobody of note will leave to spend time with their families.

It’s as simple as that. Get it out of your head. They don’t fucking care any more. They are absolutely untouchable. All we can do is pray that it ends on 1/20/09.

If you surf past such choice locations as Sister Toldjah and Schlussel and Flopping Aces, you will see that the overwhelming majority of people who post there stand foursquare behind the idea that “this is a different kind of war, so Bush needs to do whatever it takes to win,” even if it means brushing aside Constitutional restrictions (because, after all, didn’t Congress authorize him to do just that when it voted to allow the use of force?).

It don’t make them no nevermind, of course, that a) the Framers put this shit in the Constitution specifically because they knew that some asshole would come along and tell us that it’s all in our best interests, and, b) the way of life and the freedoms we’re supposed to be protecting from the onset of Sharia Law include the same Constitutional protections and restrictions that they say they need to take away from us in order to save them for us. Or something. When it starts looping back on itself like that, wingnut reasoning gets kind of complicated for me to follow.
