Two videos for you tonight. First up is a video warning us that President hijack Bush and Vice-President Halliburton Cheney have too much time on their hands to mess up our country even more. Of course, any time war criminals have any time is too much time!
What makes little sense is that if Congress believes the President is innocent the absolute best way to show so is to impeach! If there are no crimes, then an impeachment trial would show that. The truth is, they do not want to impeach the Executive branch for fear of dragging their own congressional crimes into the mix.
The truth is that there is enough potential evidence of war crimes that impeachment is a no brainer. Here’s one clear example of perjury by President George W. Bush. On two occasions Mr. Bush stated under oath that he would “…to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”, yet he also publicly declared that “The Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper!” Right there Mr. Bush violated his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and he should at the very least be held accountable for his perjury. Let’s not forget that he also openly admitted to committing war crimes.
At least there is one man doing his constitutional duty to hold Bushco accountable for their crimes against humanity and against the USA. The man’s name is Dennis Kucinich and he’s a true American hero. Here is a video from Representative Kucinich thanking American citizens for signing his impeachment petitions and providing support for justice. Mr. Kucinich will be making the case for impeachment this Friday thanks to all the support.
Perhaps there is some hope for re-legitimizing the government of these United States of America. Perhaps the Democrats will wake up and realize that we Americans do not want “change”, we want a return to a government of the people, by the people, for the people. The elitist corporate lobbies running our congress and executive branch are not the voice of the average American.
Was just in the Dunkin Donuts up my street (the one on Boston Street, there’s another DD at the other end of my street too) waiting in line when I saw the TV in the corner playing CNN broadcast that the New York Times rejected an op-ed piece written by McCain. Reading through McCain’s “essay”, I see why the paper’s editors rejected the editorial. I’ll save you the effort of reading through the poorly written piece; McCain basically attacks Senator Obama’s statements and positions concerning Iraq without discussing any of his personal strategies.
My vote will not go to the McCain-Obama Demopublicans Republocrats but at least Obama can speak and write well. The McCain essay whines about Obama and offers no new information or strategies. Here’s an idea, let’s “surge” Iraq with “our” entire population! Surely then violence would drop to record new lows!
A large and powerful though swift moving thunder storm rolled through the Boston area yesterday afternoon.
Here’s three pictures of the mini flash flood it caused on my street in Dorchester.
My step-dad asked me if I looked outside and since it had only been raining for a few minutes I hadn’t but that quickly our street was covered in water:
The water came down so quick that the whole street overflowed covering the sidewalk with water going a quarter way up car tires.
A mini-van leaving a wake.
Video:
We really needed the rain here in Boston to drop the temperature and we got a lot of water in a very short time. I heard through the grapevine that it was over two inches in just twenty minutes!
While biking behind one of the Boston University buildings Friday afternoon, this spider squirrel caught my attention.
Here’s the squirrel just chilling while it observes what I’m doing:
As it realizes I’m not a threat, it goes on it’s way, doing whatever a spider squirrel does, which apparently means running on this ledge in a death-defying manner:
I love how 80-90% of its body, including its head, is below the ledge as it scampers about! BTW, the squirrel did make it safely around the pillar and back, fully, onto the ledge.
Spider squirrel, spider squirrel, does whatever a spider squirrel does!
And idd nice voice
