It’s been a while since I posted but wanted to mention that the good folks at MoveOn.org are offering free Obama ‘08 buttons to help us show our support for his Presidential bid. They recently had been offering free Obama bumper stickers which have sold out. You can get any one of the buttons shown below for free or donate just $2 (I gave a extra dollar for the cause) for all three. They are also offering a bulk option so you can pass them out to all your friends. Hurry before these sell out also!
Quick update on the George Bush impeachment process…
Rep. Dennis Kucinich as I posted about last week was able to have a hearing on his articles of impeachment against President Bush before the House Judiciary Committee which lasted almost six hours on last Friday. The Democrat leadership pointed out it was not an official impeachment hearing but it was a small step for the millions of people who want George investigated and held accountable. Republicans are already spinning the hearings as “an anger management class”.
The mainstream media of course is still barely covering the events in Congress. Britney Spears must have been spotted passed out drunk again…
Congressmen Dennis Kucinich has a new petition calling for the impeachment of George Bush and we need to get the word out. Mr. Kucinich will deliver the petition to Congress personally and he will go to Congress again this Friday (July 25th) to present the articles of impeachment. He is one of the few Democrats that will stand up for the people so he needs our support. I recently posted a 411 on the why and how in regards to impeachment where you will find a couple of useful links.
The team at JibJab (site my be down right now) have released a new video and it has been almost four years since their last election satire. It’s ushers Bush out and introduces Obama and McCain to some jibjab hazing and of course it has a appearance by the Clintons. The pokes at McCain are right on but I don’t really understand the shots at Obama. Make sure you go to the JibJab site when it is up to check out the other laugh out loud videos by them.
Former White House press secretary Tony Snow, twice member of the Bush Administration died at 53 years old from colon cancer he was suffering from for a number of years early this morning. The media spent the morning talking about what a nice guy Tony was and how hard he fought his cancer. I will not disagree with either count and I know it’s not polite to speak ill of the recently deceased for at least a couple of days but here goes anyway.
The media has been concentrating mostly on his time as White House press secretary. I like to talk about Mr. Snow’s first stint in the White House for President George Bush in 1991, as chief speechwriter and later as Deputy Assistant to the President for Media Affairs (1992–1993). Snow’s most important role was after the takeover of Afghanistan and the people did not want to hear about another invasion into Iraq and it showed in the polls at the time. He was very instrumental in running the public relations campaign (propaganda) fueled by the lies feed from Bush and company to make the case for a another war. As we know, public opinion turned and the war in Iraq was on and is still going over four long years later.
When we think about the cost of the Iraq war (over 4,000 American troops dead, 80,000 to million Iraqis dead, and will hit the trillion dollar price tag), George Bush possibly may not have been able to make it happen without the hard work of Tony Snow. Our country has owes a great debt to Mr. Snow and I mean literally.
Tony Snow was only the front man for the criminal gang known as the Bush administration so I hope he passed away peacefully. Since Congress won’t punish them, hopefully God will have more fittings ends for the rest of the gang — Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush.
