“Putting up with me requires a lot of patience.”

truer words were never said!

“And despite all the terrible news, which I don’t pay attention to, I’m optimistic about our prospects in Iraq…”

that middle phrase speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

And I almost fell over yesterday when the dude on KO said the Dems will cave on the deadline for withdrawl. Talking about it as if it is inevitable. They can’t be that cowardly can they?

That’s Richard Wolffe from Newsweek. They ALWAYS have him on, and he ALWAYS repeats the same meme. I want to throttle him.

He’s not that bad, what he says is true they will not do anything until the people do anything. I don’t think polls are going to get people to change. I have seen no million person march, I have seen no million person petition… its like Zinn said: They are politicians they can sell out to political “reality” over their ideals (sell their integrity), but we are the people – we should demand what we want.

“retirin” is more like getting out of jail fo rme. I will finally be able to do what I want, and it sure wont be sitting around in a rocking chair. I think of it as a second career – the fun one.

You too? I’m out in 4.7 — started working for HHS in when I was 23. Looking at taking a part-time job at someplace fun, like Borders…

I just sent the following to my congresspeople and local newspapers. Feel free to plagiarize.

Regarding the embarrassing spectacle of Alberto Gonzales testifying before the Judiciary Committee on Thursday, the only way to make this nonsense stop is to begin impeachment proceedings…and I don’t mean against Gonzales. He is a distraction, a pimple on the hindquarters, as it were.

The real issue is the deep corruption and misprision of the Bush administration. The House of Representatives should cut to the chase and bring articles of impeachment against George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney. And I don’t mean Dennis Kucinich. I mean a bipartisan group, like the “group of 14″ in the Senate from the last Congress, a group of patriots who really care that our country is so far off the rails and want to begin the process of getting back on track. We must take the only legal action available to us against this administration so that no future president can call on their malfeasance and maladministration as a precedent for how America should be governed. Never. Ever. Again.

How much of this is system failure I do not know. But when Clinton (bill version) a disbarred lawyer, is on Larry King pontificating about who should be president and carville is still running around and people actually think that Gore, a real honest to goodness
