  • Ralph Nader calls for impeachment: Downing Street Memo is trouble for Bush

    Maybe we don’t want fries with this.
    The winds are shifting in Washington, DC in the wake of the now-infamous Downing Street Memo, a secret document detailing the minutes of a meeting that included British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the chief of Britain’s intelligence agency.
    The memo insinuates that the Bush administration fixed intelligence concerning WMD and terrorism in Iraq and reveals something that many of us in the YES! Weekly newsroom (and most rational Americans) have (…)

    HOW LONG AGO DID YOU START TO HATE BUSH?
    By Peter Fredson
    June 22, 2005
    This is an off-shoot of the famous WATERGATE question: “What did you know and when did you know it?” It took quite a while for anyone to stay that he knew anything, and even then the object of the investigation played the denial game to the end, but gradually much of the true story oozed out through administration censorship.
    Still today, with Deep Throat revealed, the conspirators are unrepentant, bitter, and (…)

  • We’ve seen enough to impeach Bush

    As I said in this space two weeks ago, if Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about having sex with an intern, then George Bush needs to be impeached for the deliberate lies he and his cabal told to start a war that has now taken the lives of more than 1,700 young American men and women and countless Iraqi citizens, plus threatens to bankrupt the country.
    One of our "Sound Off" callers insisted last week that only "Bush haters" would say such things.
    Another took to task the Wisconsin (…)

    CONDI RICE SATIRE?
    By Peter Fredson
    June 20, 2005
    Today I saw a news item about Condoleezza Rice that had me wondering about her sincerity.
    Here are some quotes direct from the great George Bush sycophant:
    "We are all concerned for the future of Egypt’s reforms when peaceful supporters of democracy — men and women — are not free from violence. The day must come when the rule of law replaces emergency decrees, and when the independent judiciary replaces arbitrary justice," (…)

  • 2/3 of Americans Diss Bush, 75% of Country Hates Congress

    by Bob Nichols Project Censored Award Winner (Oklahoma, Red State, Dumbfuckistan) June 19, 2005 - The sophisticated urban assault newspaper, the conservative New York Times did their dead level best to spin a silk purse out of a bloody pig’s ear today with the latest poll showing that 2/3 of Americans disapprove of President Bush. The giant corporate flagship newspaper also did much hard work to save a real suck-ass Congress while 75% of real Americans hate Congress, more or less, with (…)

  • Wallace v Duncan, Pistons v Spurs Game 5 Strategy Session for Live TV Culture Jam

    The significance of what could happen Sunday night in Detroit is mind-blowing. Imagine, just one player, a Wallace or Duncan realizing the true power they have. As athletes on the world stage, they are [former] working class joe’s with a chance to speak out to the world on live tv. If just one superstar were to... interupt the game, STOP life as normal- if only for a few minutes... STOP the game and tell America on Live tv, "The Downing Street Memo is the smoking gun! Impeach Bush!" it could (…)

  • High Crimes and Misdemeanors
    19 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Any reasonable interpretation of the Constitution’s impeachment clause, and the historical application thereof, leads to the inescapable conclusion that articles of impeachment should be brought against President Bush for his commission of high (…)

  • Impeach Bush — US Out Now!

    “Our focus is not on the past. It’s on the future.” Scott McClellan, White House Spokesman.
    How convenient to focus on the future when the past is a compelling indictment of criminal and immoral behavior. If it were an adequate explanation, then Richard Nixon would have completed his second term, Lyndon Johnson would have sought reelection, and the Nuremberg trials would not have been convened.
    Beyond the incredulity of the president’s response to a growing body of evidence that his (…)

  • Reclaiming Our Democracy, Our Country, and Our Soul. Keeping the Downing Street Drums Beating.

    “You can’t just say the President is lying.” That was the opinion of New York Times reporter, Elizabeth Bumiller recently when discussing honesty in today’s press. It also highlights a serious flaw in the current logic with today’s press that has led to the erosion of any possible faith people have in media anymore. I would proffer that you most certainly can say the President has lied, if you meet one condition, that being he lied. It is a disservice to this country to have a media that (…)

    I went to go hit a bucket of golf balls today. (Beautiful day, 85 and sunny). The place I go to is inhabited by crusty old men who scratch a lot and talk shit all day long. This is their retirement. I know this place to be pretty conservative so I just go to hit a bucket and not chew the fat.
    Today I’m walking in to get my bucket and I hear one dude telling another in his heavy southern drawl "did you see the thing on C-SPAN with this COnyers feller?" That’s all I needed. I spent the next (…)
