Opening the Day: Nadler Calls for Impeachment, Congressional Approval Drops to Record Low

Opening the day is rapidly turning more into middling the day.  I promise it'll get back to its regular schedule by next week.

  • Congressman Jerry Nadler says that 'in a just system' Bush would be impeached.  I love Nadler and I respect what he's saying, but what does this say about Congress, the body that is supposed to bring impeachment charges against a rogue executive?

  • JibJab is out with its latest stupid parody.  Obama's gay and rides unicorns!  McCain is old and tough!  Ha.

  • Consumer prices are skyrocketing.

  • Bruce Wilson has an important piece tracing the links between the authoritarian religious network known as 'the Family', the DLC, and Bush Republicans.

  • American troops were forced to abandon a base in Afghanistan.

  • Congressional approval ratings hit 14%.

What are you reading?

Yes, but you have to admit that their production values have skyrocketed. Rank cynicism has never looked so pretty.

It is misleading .. (0.00 / 0)
Congressional approval ratings hit 14%.

Does the poll break down what people think of their own Rep. or Senator?  Say for PA residents, I would bet that Snarlin' Arlen's approvals are much higher .. probably around 50% or so .. so things like the Gallup poll mean nothing


Approvals higher among GOP (0.00 / 0)
The poll showed only 11% of Dems approve of the job Congress is doing, the lowest among the three groups.  Shows the downside of promising things to get elected you have no intention of follwoing through on.

John McCain--He's not who you think he is.

The truth about Saxby Chambliss

Jib Jabberwockey! (0.00 / 0)
The Jib Jab video was a let down.

It was a bash at Hillary and Obama, and a slight bash at McCain.  Not very good.

From my Obama blog...

Why spend years building a progressive netroots coalition to retake our non functioning democracy?  That's alot of work, and with family and career who has time for positive action and critical thinking?  Why base your hopes on performance and promise keeping, who has time to keep track?  Accountablity?  That's a big word!

Who Speaks for Muslims? (4.00 / 1)
First heard about this initiative, poll, and book during a clip from the Aspen Ideas Festival on my local NPR station.

Haven't read the book, and I'm still plowing through the web-site.  Already it provides some much needed background on the issues.

lame.

to me there is no weaker form of "creativity" than rewriting lyrics for an existing popular song. this is the stuff of bachelorette and 40th birthday parties. spare me.
