Yes, Martha, I understand that US Representative John Conyers (D-NY) has filed an “impeachment resolution” (HR 635), plus two mentions for censure (HR 636 and 637) in the House Judiciary Committee. The impeachment resolution lays the foundation for bipartisan impeachment proceedings, which by the way is my first problem with it. Asking the Republicans to impeach Bush/Cheney is like asking the chickens to swallow a two-headed fox. But it’s more than that . . .

The editor of Online Journal, Bev Conover, explained it to you once in “Here We Go Again With The Censure Nonsense”, "Censure is a tool Congress uses to reprimand one of its own, usually for an ethical violation not a prosecutable crime."

Get it. We’ve got a prosecutable crime here, and then some. The Democrats, the Democrats, should properly file for formal articles of impeachment ASAP, like now, as Evan Augustine Peterson III, J.D., also wrote in his recent email to some 89 writers, including the editor and this scribe, on the necessity of impeachment. Then let the Republicans show their colors.

We know that divergence amongst them is tantamount to gay marriage and stem cell research and is punishable by Pat Robertson calling the wrath of God to fall on them, like he did when Pat gave the hit sign on New Orleans and New York on 9/11, and entire cities of non-believers got theirs, fire and flood, gnashing of teeth. Either that or maybe Pat knows the terrorists. Hey, you never know. But could the Republicans go straight for once? They know Jesus knows.

And truly, despite the rambling rhetoric of Robertson, don’t we know deep in our hearts, where the spirit whispers, that he has the conscience of a hungry anaconda. Try to talk him or Congress out of snapping at the next dole of power from the One-On-High and the One-Behind-Him. Fuhgedaboutit, as Tony would say. A little strong arm goes a long way.

So don’t DeLay, excuse me, delay Miss Nancy (D-CA) and Mr. Harry (D-NV), you-know-who-you-are. Don’t wait for the 2006 elections. And thinking maybe we’ll sweep the House and Senate, in the name of the father, son, and holy polling machine, or maybe we’ll just win one of them or none of them.

Here is your chance to really wake America. Here is your chance to take the true moral high ground to out the criminals, who have been categorically declared such, brazenly admitted such, and been judged by legal scholars and legislators, as well as those 89 journalists and 14 websites, to be legally qualified for impeachment and summary ejection.

Now you can take it to Bush and Cheney, and the mobsters behind them, for insisting that a president can unilaterally order wiretaps on American citizens without any judicial oversight, even if warrantless domestic wiretaps are clearly prohibited by law. Why, because he/they say so. He, they would have you believe Der Bush has the Power! And unless you want some in your face, shut up and drive. Who asked your opinion?

In fact, since when do the American people have a say in matters of life, death, war, peace, outing CIA personnel, torturing prisoners (excuse me, enemy combatants), hundreds of billions of dollars of misappropriations, taxation of the poor, relaxation to the rich, and so on. Don’t get me angry or I’ll tell you just how low we are in the administration’s estimation. And just how stupid they think we are. Here’s a chance to show Bush just how smart we are, America, Nancy and Harry, and just how moral we are. Let’s take it to them. And why, bottom line, really why?

Because these guys are nuts and can blow up the world tomorrow, that’s why. Dr. Strangelove lives, on Pennsylvania Avenue. He has many guises, as many as they have talking heads. They’re pointing nuclear missiles at Iran as we speak, North Korea next week. They’re got biowarfare labs nestled all over the country. Recently a female employee who worked at one in Florida threatened to send anthrax to her real estate agent because he wouldn’t handle her rental house. She subsequently was canned and apologized. But that’s what you’re dealing with. She’s out there with a plastic bag of plague, looking to rent her basement.

Then you have the chemwarfare gang who can stink up your neighborhood with death any minute.

And then you have the rogue nations, and old Russia, who, fearing a unilateral strike, might do something foolish first, so they won’t be in shock and awe hell like some people we know. Mr. Bush and his friends have successfully panicked the world and upset the balance of power. Alliances are being made faster than dates in the Polo Lounge at 5 PM. Who’s on first? Yeah, that’s what I said. No, he’s on second. What, wait a minute! What’s on third? Get outta here.

The world is no longer a safe place. And I use that term with complete relativity: to pre-911 days, to the "pre the Supreme Court handing Bush the 2000 election" days, to Cold War in its coldest days. Name the day. As John Dean titled his book, it’s Worse Than Watergate. And he should know.

Pentagon players are planning first strikes on everything that walks, talks, and balks. Osama or someone is waiting for a sequel. His CIA agent says he calls everyday. Hey, Binny’s getting restless. Why don’t we take out LA, whack the whole film business in one shot. Or like Randy Newman says, "Boom New York, boom Paris, let’s drop the Big One now." You think I’m kidding? You think this is funny? Do I sound funny to you? Hah? Look at me. Look. At Me. I Am You.

I’ve got three kids, a wife, I pay my taxes. I help old ladies cross the street. And I retch on people who want to rip up the Constitution. It’s that simple. All We Are Saying Is Give The Constitution A Chance. All We Are Saying Is Give The Constitution A Chance. No more bull, no more finessing, Dems, no more body bags, bollixed war, floods, elections, education budgets, global warming, nucular test bans ripped up, broken treaties, broken promises. Do it now, Nancy. Now, Harry. You can be the most famous couple in American History. Bigger than Lucy and Desi. The pair that took it to the Man. Smoke him out. Bring it on. Hi-ho, Silver, away with 'em all!
