(Scroll down for this week's Poem of the Week.)
Earlier this week, Dennis Kucinich offered Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush. This has gotten more coverage than his Articles of Impeachment against Dick Cheney, but not much.
Whether or not Congress has the integrity to act, I'm so grateful that there are people like Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Wexler (D-Florida), who care enough about this nation and about justice and who have the courage to take action. Where is our national outrage? These charges aren't about somebody being stupid in his private life - they are about actions which have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, have virtually bankrupted the nation, have violated our Constitution and our fundamental ethics....
WHY DON'T WE CARE???? Why in the face of the outrages committed by the Bush administration, is Dennis Kucinich like a voice crying in the wilderness? I'm sad for my country. And I"m angry with her too. While I appreciate Obama's talk of change - and I like him - where is his voice or Mrs. Clinton's on this subject? I don't know that we can rebuild this nation until we take responsibility for what we have done - or allowed GWB to do in our name. That means publicly trying him and his hench persons and holding them (and therefore ourselves) legally responsible for their crimes against this country and the world. It's a mixed metaphor, but I can't think of anything better, so sweeping the Bush administration's crimes under the rug will not clean our systems of the poisons they have injected into it. While I believe deeply in the power of positive thinking, I think happy thoughts alone will not suffice. (I'm adding this late in the evening. Should have added it earlier. Here is a link to the actual articles of impeachment so you can read them if you wish to do so.)
I hope you will listen to at least this first speech. It will only take 7 minutes of your time to do so.

This one dates back to when he offered articles of impeachment against Cheney last year. Tucker Carlson is (in my opinion) a jerk. Kucinich is a national treasure.
On a lighter note, I stole this from Jay Simser's blog (Baily's Buddy). It's called WHY I'M VOTING REPUBLICAN...
