Gonzales simply must be feeling the heat…

Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) is introducing legislation that would require the House Judiciary Committee and the House of Representatives to begin an impeachment investigation into Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, in the wake of his damaging testimony last week. The legislation reads: Resolved: That the Committee on the Judiciary shall investigate fully whether sufficient grounds exist [...]

It’s no secret that electronic voting machines have a lot of critics. At time, I’ve felt the criticism was a bit hostile and over the top. I believe I’ve come around to thinking these gadgets really are NOT good for our elections. Wonder why? Because of a growing number of reports like this one…
Hackers Make Quick Work Of Most California Voting Machines
Via SF Gate: State-sanctioned teams of computer hackers were able to break through the security of virtually every model of California’s voting machines and change results or take control of some of the systems’ electronic functions, according to a University of California study released Friday. The researchers “were able to bypass physical and software security [...]

Tired of the main Iraq War? Looking for new excitement without venturing too far from the center of action?
For Robert Novak disclosing national security secrets has become a part-time second job. Today’s is a doozy. Turkey has a well-trained, well-equipped army of 250,000 near the [Iraqi] border, facing some 4,000 PKK [Kurdistan Workers Party] fighters hiding in the mountains of northern Iraq. But significant cross-border operations surely would bring to the PKK’s side the military forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government, the best U.S. ally in Iraq. What is Washington to do in the dilemma of two friends battling each other on an unwanted new front in [...]

This, from Fox News…
…Wow. There’s literally no one left who will come to Alberto Gonzales’s defense anymore, even on Fox News. "We invited White House officials and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to defend Attorney General Gonzales," Chris Wallace said today [...]

Think Progress notes the two sides of a very important debate.
“In spite of what he said was pervasive corruption in the White House, Charlie Rangel, the dean of New York’s congressional delegation, said today he wouldn’t want President Bush impeached. ‘God forbid!‘ he said.” The reason? “I would vote against impeachment of Bush too because the corruption of the Vice President Cheney would even be worse,” [...]
Former Reagan administration lawyer Bruce Fein recently sat down with the editors of the San Francisco Chronicle to discuss how “George W. Bush’s foreign policies are making Americans less safe, and why the president and Vice President Dick Cheney should be impeached.” You can [..]

And, how typical.
The Washington Post today has a report about how a political aide with no medical experience in the Bush Administration went out of his way to block a report by (now former) Surgeon General Richard Carmona which said that the United States needed to step up to the plate on helping other countries with global [...]

NBC vs MSNBC. Interesting comparison.
The newest revelations about the circumstances surrounding Pat Tillman’s death are horrifying enough to merit widespread media coverage. But rather than rehashing the details, I think it’s instructive to watch two very different broadcasts, ironically, by two stations with the same parent company: Here’s Jim Miklaszweski on [...]

It’s been a tiring weekend. Helping folks move, prepping meals, etc. I’m beat. But, relaxing finally gives me a chance to skim through some blogs. And some bloggers ain’t happy.
I ask this as a serious question. One that requires more than a cry for impeachment, or calls for inherent contempt as a response. Or boycotts, more investigations – even total election domination, for that matter (although that would humiliate the republicans and would be oh-so-satisfying in a schadenfreude kind of way). Pretty much everything is broken. The electoral system, checks and balances, healthcare, the government, our military, infrastructure and any semblance of fairness for at least 75% of the American public. Each day brings more news that is so [...]
