Busy, busy, busy...

No, not me. I've been enjoying the Oregon coast, and thus on a blogging hiatus.

But Feckless Leader has been on a roll of sorts, signing an executive order that allows him to freeze assets of anyone who threatens "the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq" or who "undermin(e) efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq." Who might this be applied to? Move On?

He also said that the Justice Department will not allow Congress to pursue contempt proceedings, once again pronouncing the executive above the law, and Congress a useless appendage of the rule of said executive.

I'll say this once again, the only choice left open to the Democrats and Congress is to start an impeachment investigation. That is the only available path to contest the acts of this administration, anything else is just buying time and hoping that free elections will be allowed to be held in '08. There is no reason to believe this can happen unless you stick your head in the sand (or another dark place) and pretend that the last 6+ years never happened.

It's great that Cindy Sheehan has the balls to be pushing impeachment, though hardly enough. The cowardly remarks of Conyers today, that "elections are our only recourse today" because there aren't enough votes for impeachment are nothing but a way to avoid the risk and responsibility of confronting the stonewall. If FL defies an impeachment subpoena, Congress will know that the line has been drawn. They do not want to know.

Very little time remains, and I'm not very hopeful. Unless Congress grows a spine, or someone deep in the administration flips, there will be no way to stop the trip to Mussolini land. And our first dictator will have been a dunce!
