Now President Barack Obama is pretending to want to avoid a war on Iran and to want Israel not to start one, while constantly pushing laughably read more

When Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush on June 9, 2008, the 35 had been selected from drafts of nearly twice that many articles.

John Dean Does Not Know How to Get Rid of Clarence Thomas

Am I the only one who noticed that ex-Nixon lawyer John Dean’s article “John Dean Knows How to Get Rid of Clarence Thomas” concludes thus: “In short, nothing is going to happen to Clarence Thomas.” Talk about false advertising!

But Dean left out of consideration one strategy, the same one that five years ago he argued against pursuing with Bush and Cheney, whom many of us at that time wanted removed from office. The strategy is the one now being advanced by RootsAction: read more

Is Obama Even Worse Than Bush?

When I advocated the impeachment of George W. Bush, I did so despite, not because of, all the animosity it fueled among impeachment supporters. I didn’t want retribution.
