Get Out of Jail Free Card


File under: better late than never department. I am still home in San Francisco soaking up as much of my fair city as possible before the long trek back to Texas, and have found only now, in the wee hours, the time to post for today.

In the meantime, while I was screwing around, Gary Kamiya of Salon, has punched through full-force, with a killer indictment of Bush--and the American people.
The Bush presidency is a lot of things. It's a secretive cabal, a cavalcade of incompetence, a blood-stained Church Militant, a bad rerun of "The Godfather" in which scary men in suits pay ominous visits to hospital rooms.

Divorce -- which in our nonparliamentary system means impeachment -- is the logical solution.
