5. Are You In Denver Yet ???
I was there a week and a half ago for my aunt's funeral. On the day we left for home, we took a quick trip downtown. Some activity evident at Invesco Field, but tons of tents and bustling activity at the Pepsico Center. I'm sure the city is getting deluged with folks arriving. Our hotel desk person said that the nearest available room to Denver was in Pueblo, LOL!!!

If ya get a chance, take a walk around the convention during the day outside. I went to the Moscone Center in San Francisco in 1984 (no credentials to get inside) and saw some of the FREAKIEST stuff, and some of the greatest political swag set up in booths all along the outside of the center.

Anywho... looking forward to your reports, and don't forget to have a great time.

P.S. I'm sooooooooooooooooooo frickin jealous of youse guys, LOL!!!

:hi:

14. To still support junior or any 'puke for national office, one has to holistically embrace
junior's entire legacy of fiscal madness, death, destruction, neglect, and abuse as so succinctly laid out by Trudeau, for nothing else would make any sense, to wit: Houston, what a sick bunch of puppies. :P

22. people have bee dying serving murderers. Rove/Cheney/Bush.
btw-541 members of congress and only one republican has children in the military. The headlines read " A Crying Mother says Mr. Bush, they have burned my baby alive and hung his smoldering body from a bridge" to which a smiling Bush replied..."Hey have you heard the one about...joking with republican fat cats at a fundraiser. Then went on vacation saying You want your president to stay healthy don't ya'" Bush dancing, joking, vacationing, bicycling, saying no doubts about war, I sleep just fine etc while the headlines tell of more soldiers and innocent Iraqis dying everyday. No remorse no regret not bothered in any way...go shopping...no big deal. THAT IS A MONSTER.

Bugliosi's book finds him guilty beyond ANY reasonable doubt and the sentencwe is death. Bush/Cheney/Rove all need to be executed for un-repentant mass murder of American soldiers. And our media puts Rove on TV?????

39. Do not impeach
Do not put him in jail. Both of those are too weak and he will never learn anything.
Instead, strip him of his money and position, and give him a house to repair in New Orleans' 9th Ward. Give him a busboy job, and no car. and let him live out the rest of his life working for a living, amidst the ruin he created.

38. As someone who in 1973-1974 couldn't wait for the paperboy to throw the paper
so I could get the latest on Watergate AND read Doonesbury, this is significant to me. That same strip now declares a later president worse than Nixon. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think there would be an administration in my lifetime, if ever, worse than Nixon's. And here it is. Often over the last 7 years I wished we had Nixon instead. That's mindboggling.

40. Well, unfortunately this administration *is* composed of some of the same criminals
Which is a very, very good argument toward pursuing these creeps 'til everyone one of them is flushed out of whatever dank hidey-hole they crawl under. Don't want them popping up every decade or so and dragging the nation down ever further.

42. Which brings up John Dean's "impeachment" strategy
which is to impeach the younger, lower level scum that were appointed but also needed Senate confirmation so that they can never again hold an office of public trust in the US. Dean argues this as another lesson from Watergate that we did not learn.

Charlie Imes, the songwriter, organized DemocracyFest in San Diego. Now he's back to his first love, music. He teamed up with a Bush/Cheney impersonator for this brilliant piece. Listen and pass it around, please!
