So for some reason the nice fellow has had CNN on since I've been home from work. You know the crawl at the bottom of the screen, with the breaking news? Well, sometimes it's sports scores, but anyway. All night they've had great big letters "Breaking News: Obama and Clinton to speak together tomorrow in Unity, New Hampshire," which is notable but not breaking news since it was announced days ago and despite the media's best efforts to the contrary, these two have been all about forging party unity and winning this election -- yes, they said mean things about each other in the course of struggling for who would get the nomination, but that was partly because there were a few real issues being hammered out in those speeches and partly because each of them really wanted that nomination. Oh, yeah, also: "breaking news" is that Obama's going to help CLinton pay off her campaign debt. That's interesting, of course, but it's not top-of-the-front=page, 50-point banner headline news.

On the other hand I never read or heard about the latest in impeachment news. I wonder why?

look at this email I got from my representative: )

I'm from California, but I'm contacting all the representatives about this.

Bill Clinton was impeached for having sex. George Bush has spearheaded an organized attack on the Constitution: has repeatedly lied about matters of national policy and security, has condoned and promulgated the use of torture, kidnapping and even murder: continues to flout decency and the laws of man. He has surrounded himself with criminals of every stripe. There is no crime his advisors and employees have not committed, from petty bribery to grand ciorruption, and not excluding sex crimes. And he is still untouched by Congress and the courts.

What are you waiting for?

Impeach this man, and begin to recover our national dignity and the esteem of the world which he has so enthusiastically squandered.

Thank you,

Lucy Kemnitzer


I'm having trouble: each rep has a different email protocal, mostly annoying forms which require a lot of information, and so far, three out of seven forms don't actually work.

But I intend to do both houses over the next week. Whenever I have a moment. One by one by one.
