April 2007!

Here's a few things I found interesting in April:


Impeach At the Beach!

Impeach At The Beach

We learned during the Clinton years that a reasonable suspicion of a felony MANDATES impeachment. The number of felonies clearly evidenced by the Bush Administration are many; lying to Congress and  obstructing justice is only the beginning. Yet Congress is slow to act, perhaps because out of an excess of caution.

Only if the people lead will Congress do its duty. Call (202) 224-3121, ask for your representative & tell them to IMPEACH! And we can have a little fun in the meantime: http://www.bodiescount.org/

Gonzales Drinking Game Warning!

Washington DC - The American Medical Association issued an emergency bulletin as ERs were flooded nationwide with cases of alcohol poisoning due to the "Gonzales Drinking Game".

"It seemed so simple," sobbed a distraught coed, whose stomach had been pumped. "We just took a sip whenever Gonzales said he didn't remember something."

"How were we to know?"

Grim-faced medical professionals say the worst is not yet past. "If Cheney or George, Jr. go under oath," warned a weary EMT, "All bets are off.

Global Warming Denial Talkin' Points!

 

  1. There's no such thing as global warming.

  2. Okay, there IS global warming but human activity isn't causing it.

  3. Okay, there IS global warming but it's actually a good thing.

  4. But, there's no such thing as global warming.

War Tax Refund!

American Citizens can take a small, but real, legal rebate for a War Tax imposed on telephone services. It's not much, but if you're entitled: take it!

This web site explains how to file for the refund, and includes a link to the form: http://www.refundsforgood.org

Logan Act Gate!

A recent WSJ editorial accuses House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of violations of the Logan Act, when she spoke with Syria's dictator the other day.

Nonsense!

1. The Logan act does not prohibit Members of Congress from performing their official duties; Congress is part of the government of the United States and therefore Congress-sanctioned investigations have the "authority of the United States". If Pelosi were off on a frolic, perhaps she would be subject like any other citizen, but her visit was part of her official Congressional duties.

2. Several Republicans went on the same trip and, logically, would be subject to prosecution if Pelosi was.

Tyro Rex Supersaur

Tyro Rex Supersaur logoA couple of friends decided that "Jesus Christ Superstar" could be improved by adding dinosaurs. Judge for yourself - the complete and very singable lyrics are posted, with permission, here: http://rewinn.com/1201.html For example, here's Merry Megalosaurus' "I Don't Know How To Mutate"

"I don’t know how to mutate
Anything of cell division
I can’t change, can’t really change
Since Silurian when I first began
I’ve never stopped looking strange.

I don’t understand selection
Charles Darwin’s still beyond us
He’s a man, a strange old man
And his thought are just a stab in the dark
In very many ways
He’s Jean Lamarck.

Should I put him down for his wild thoughts
Is he just another juggernaut
Who’s preaching strange ideas about life
And what it’s all about?

Don’t you think it’s most conflicting?
All these silly new ideas?
For example, it’s just a sample:
If I stretched the heck out of my poor neck
Would I become a giraffe?
It makes me laugh.

Still, all these strange ideas on life - what’s it all about?
Yet Darwin has his good points
Logic is his way of thinking
He’s no dope - still he can’t cope
With my problem here - I’m still the same
And don’t think I’ll ever grow
He scares me so
I just don’t know.

…look at it snow…

This is Amusing:


Hymn 43: Coincidence or Prophecy?

Jethro Tull's album "Aqualung" has a lyric called "Hymn 43" that precisely fits our 43rd President:

"If Jesus saves --
Well, he'd better save himself
From the gory glory seekers
Who use his name in death."
