07 Nov 07 Kucinich calls for articles of impeachment against Cheney
Now maybe I don’t understand politics or Congressional procedures as much as I think I do, but I’m really confused. If the Republicans wanted to force a debate on the bill, why wouldn’t Democrats want to do that? Can’t they back up their claim?
From what I can tell, if a debate was forced on the floor it creates a straight “yes or no” vote on the bill, rather than forwarding it to committee (which it did I believe.) That way Republicans could effectively kill the bill right then and there on the floor of Congress.
Now, it took me reading multiple versions of this story to figure all of that out. ABC failed at reporting the story clearly, and only a few other papers made what actually happened make sense to normal people. This is the problem with some modern political reporting.
Anyway, good luck Kucinich.

26 Oct 07 Don’t wake Cheney!
When Parker Brothers decides to revive Don’t Wake Daddy, this should be the new version. The trick is to have a meeting on important matters of government service without waking ‘The Cheney,’ lest you be peppered in the face with buckshot and water-boarded.
While the president was briefing the cabinet on the wildfires, VP Cheney was caught “meditating.” Right.
Well gee, it seems Cheney likes to meditate a lot.

Crooks & Liars has some video.
Wow, there’s really no excuse for that. I know he is old man and all and being apologetically mean has got to me exhausting, but come on dude, save it for naptime.
Speaking of Dick Cheney, Frontline’s Cheney’s Law is an excellent primer on the long and illustrious career of our most powerful vice-president. It really digs deep. Watch it and be afraid.
Oh I can’t wait for January 2009.
