"This is an impeachment 4th of July," Byron De Lear, a Green Party activist, said Wednesday. He called removing Bush and Cheney "a patriotic duty to restore the integrity of the United States."

I feed the kids breakfast, made my coffee, feed the cats and cleaned the litter box and now I am sitting down to blog. Last night we watched something I wanted to blog about, a movie that was almost three hours long on HBO about the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. An estimated 800,000 to 1,000,000 Rwandans were killed in 100 days of slaughter.And this got me highly upset. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/evil/ Today in 2007 we are dealing with Darfur a conflict which began in July 2003 and still continues today.

The story of how high officials misled the country has been told. But they couldn't have done it on their own; they needed a compliant press, to pass on their propaganda as news and cheer them on. Since then thousands of people have died, and many are dying to this day. Yet the story of how the media bought what the White House was selling has not been told in depth on ...

The decision affects more than 7,000 Schofield soldiers who were at the eight- to nine-month mark on a deployment to northern Iraq. Admitting that U.S. forces are "stretched, there's no question about that," Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the decision to the Washington press corps at the same time that senior Army...

I just about died laughing. How true is this statement. It seems that every week we get to hear about someone in the Bush administration being fired or asked to resign or being replaced due to their lack of job experience or for their cover-ups to protect the administration. I love to watch Bill Maher on Friday nights on HBO and it fuels my frustrations about the war in Iraq and also fuels my frustrations on why...
