Not in 50 years has an administration shown such contempt for the rule of law. Never, has any administration--not even the Nixon administration--demonstrated such arrogance.

This has gone beyond impeachable offenses. Bush and Cheney deserve nothing more than the full prosecution of the law, and when they are found guilty of causing the deaths of thousands of Americans and many thousands of citizens of other nations through their negligence, and as a result of their lies, then they deserve the death penalty.

Bush the murderer should die at the hands of a Texas executioner--after all, he made sure such a punishment was available there...

Another repubtard shows his true colors. Fred Thompson, the "actor" who plays exactly the same character in virtually every film or television appearance--to say nothing of his Senate appearances--makes a fool out of himself by attacking Michael Moore's trip to Cuba while filming his documentary on the american health care system. Thompson smokes cuban cigars in the US—which is illegal and at present considered to be a violation of the "trading with the enemy" act. I don't fault him for that—I smoke as many cubans as I can and living here in Spain, it's easy. Thompson, stogie clenched between his teeth, suggests that Michael Moore should be placed in a mental institution.

I really didn't think the repubtards could get any more lame or sorry-assed, but they continue to prove me wrong.

Thompson has just announced that he intends to announce a bid for the Repubtard nomination on June 4th. He can't actually announce before then because of the contract for his role on Law and Order (in which, he plays the very same character he always plays). So, he's announcing that he'll announce on June 4th, but he won't actually start his run for another month--on July 4th.

I could vomit. One thing's for certain, however. You know that 50% of the population that's by definition of below average intelligence? They love that jingoistic crap and will turn out in droves to vote for him.

This post goes out with a special welcome to my fans "The Murdocks."

The International Herald Tribune recently published a long piece on the opinion page that had me pumping the air with my fist. Entitled Earth to Republicans: The Gipper is Dead, it addresses the sad, homogenous field of Repubtard candidates for the presidency. Here's one of my favorite lines:

They don't seem to get that there is not another major brand in the United States - not Wal-Mart, not GE, not even Denny's nowadays - that would try to sell a mass product with such a demographically homogeneous sales force.

And that's only half the problem. The other half is that the Republicans don't have a product to sell.

I'm not thrilled about the Democratic candidates by any means, but man, the Repubtards are really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this lot. Read the whole article here. Three of these 'tards were even stupid enough to hold up their hands and confess that they're so dumb they don't believe in evolution. This is precisely WHY we need a New England Intellectual in the office--only a 'tard could want someone as stupid as them in the most powerful office in the world.

The irony of the Repubtards not having anything to sell this time around, is that they have been extremely successful in "selling" nothing for years. They somehow got the 50% of Americans who are of below average intelligence to vote against their own best interests in support of the Repubtard candidacy of Dubya in two successive elections. I mean I know it's not hard to pull the wool over the eyes of someone of below average intelligence, but they managed to do it to the full 50% of the population in that demographic, adding the upper 1% of the ultra-rich. I have to admit that was pretty impressive.

The IHT is published in Europe by the New York Times and occasionally they share their articles. A quick tip. If you don't have a free subscription to the New York Times, you can often find the same article freely available at the IHT.

Thirty two (or more?) young people dead in Virginia. Will the NRA do the despicable again and show up for a pro-gun rally as they did after the Columbine dissaster? Will they show just how deeply ignorant they are yet again?

Here in Spain, no one can even begin to understand how this stuff happens. No one here can conceive of the profound ignorance evidenced in the US with respect to guns.

I'm still a US citizen, and with every opportunity, I vote to control the sale of guns--and ideally, one day, to eliminate the sale of guns entirely in the US.

Days like today make me even more deeply ashamed to have been born in the US.

In town meetings across Vermont, the good people of the State voted to impeach BushCo. God bless Vermont. Here is the Middlebury resolution:

We the people have the power -- and the responsibility -- to remove executives who transgress not just the law, but the rule of law.

The oaths that the President and Vice President take binds them to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." The failure to do so forms a sound basis for articles of impeachment.

The President and Vice President have failed to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution" in the following ways:

1. They have manipulated intelligence and misled the country to justify an immoral, unjust, and unnecessary preemptive war in Iraq.

2. They have directed the government to engage in domestic spying without warrants, in direct contravention of U.S. law.

3. They have conspired to commit the torture of prisoners, in violation of the Federal Torture Act and the Geneva Convention.

4. They have ordered the indefinite detention without legal counsel, without charges and without the opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention -- all in violation of U.S. law and the Bill of Rights.

When strong evidence exists of the most serious crimes, we must use impeachment -- or lose the ability of the legislative branch to compel the executive branch to obey the law.

George Bush has led our country to a constitutional crisis, and it is our responsibility to remove him from office.

The Nation has the complete story.
