Wexler sums it up!

Impeach Now.

2008-06-10T01:49:00.005-05:00

If you're wondering what the Mainstream is not informing you about its this. Just this evening, Rep Dennis Kucinich of OH has introduced 35 articles of impeachment of George W Bush for numerous high crimes. It took him over 4 hours to recite all of the charges. It has begun. I'm proud to say that my congressman Rep Ellison was chairing the house to conclude such an occasion. I am extremely proud of these boys.

You can read the text here.

I have listened to much of this myself. Maybe I'm a geek. Maybe I've got a soft spot for justice. I dunno.
What I do know is Kucinich has taken the first step toward accountability. FINALLY.

Support Wexler's push for impeachment! Scotty is going to testify before congress to confirm who know what when. Look for McClellen to have an "accident" in the next 9 days.

Atheist soldier claims harassment

It eventually came out in Iraq in 2007, when he was in a firefight. Hall was a gunner on a Humvee, which took several bullets in its protective shield. Afterward, his commander asked whether he believed in God, Hall said.

"I said, 'No, but I believe in Plexiglas,"' Hall said. "I've never believed I was going to a happy place. You get one life. When I die, I'm worm food."

Cool troop. I personally believe that when I die the FSM enters through the cosmic belly button hundreds of miles beneath Iowa and will consume the worm food that is my body. I invite you to prove me wrong.

In the final episode, Captain Picard sits down at the poker game with his officers and remarks "I don't know why I haven't played with you before." Well, I know why! One of them is a woman who can read minds, one of them wears a pair of X-ray goggles, one of them is a super-computer, and one of them is a warrior with a short temper. Anybody who'd play poker with that bunch would lose their shirt in no time!

I don't know if you've seen this. Apparently some middle management / executives in the banking industry have an undeniable passion about their work.

Its a frightening blend of corporate love, cultural elitism (read: They want what we got), with 2 scoops of hubris.

Its such a ridiculous spectacle that requires literally no modification to mock or parody.

Electric mockery version

Its your choice
your right
to pick the card that shows your heart and your pride

wow.

You know when you make popcorn there are always those fluffy white kernels that are fun and good to eat but there are also always those burnt, black kernels that don't pop. You know why they don't pop? Because they have integrity.

Corporate Policy

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result - all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm!

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not?

Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here....................

And that's how company policy begins.

I know this is over a week old, but I can't get enough of it.

I'm not much of an Alanis fan. I'm actually not a fan. But nonetheless, I'm a sucker for sarcasm in all its forms.

in Las Vegas where
the electric bills are staggering
the decor hog wild
and the entertainment saccharine
what a golden age
what a time of right and reason
the consumers king
and unhappiness is treason

and i can't sleep
cause you got strange powers
you�re in my dreams
strange powers

As much as I dig this band, sometimes an even more groovy artist (Mdoughty) steps up with cover.
