Please indulge me as I take a moment to shout an extremely loud "BRAVISSIMO!" to the Illinois State Legislature. That's the way to show off our collective cojones from Springfield to Washington, D.C.
Last week we became the first State in the Union to officially and legally call for the Impeachment of George W. Bush, ersatz president of the United States of America, aka "The Decider," "The Uniter," "Dubya," "W," "Fearless Leader," and "King George XLIII."
Illinois - All Democratic for a Better Millennium!
And, a big slap on the back to the California legislators, not just for being State #2 on the Impeach King George wagon, but for adding a few specifics we forgot to mention.
Whattaya think, Texas, Ohio and Florida? Got the intestinal fortitude to face reality and stand up to the Fascists?
Oh, wait, in Texas you've got a judge holding a convicted man, who's been diagnosed as mentally ill, on death row and pumping him with medication until he can be deemed legally sane enough to execute. Now, that's progress.
In Illinois, we've stopped executions after discovering that all too often people being executed were in fact innocent victims of the system themselves.
Final thought, could it be there's an indictment in Herr Oberst Karl Rove's future?
Maybe we should ask Ann Coulter to give it a read in that witch's brew of hers"
