So if you scare easily by curse words, and unadulterated political ranting, avert your eyes (or don't make the jump)
Blue Gal blogged about a post at PoliTits, and I can't agree more. The entry's title is award winning (jump inside the extended entry)
I'm so tired. So so tired. I'm so tired I can barely focus.
I was up until 2:30AM last night working on the contract project, and made excellent progress. I'm almost done - Well, with the wonky stuff anyway. Watching the all night debate on the senate floor was interesting, though a little boring occasionally. Joe Lieberman - SNORE! I still have a hard time when I remember that this jerk could have been the vice president.
*note* Although I believe Joe Lieberman is an embarrassment to the Democratic party, a Sore Loserman if you will, anything, ANYTHING is better than Dick Cheney.
So anyway, back to the knitting.. I'm saved, at least for now. Erin was not in labor. Therefor I have a reprieve and can try to finish the baby set before itty bitty niece makes her arrival.
Off to take a shower (to wake me up)
Order some pizza for dinner (far too tired to cook)
Drink some more ice coffee (see the theme here?)
Impeachment is not a constitutional crisis. We are in a constitutional crisis already. Impeachment is the cure.
I completely forgot about Bill Moyer's Journal tonight on PBS! But from what I hear its a must see... historic actually, since Bruce Fein (!!!!) Bruce Fein, constitutional scholar and author of the first article of impeachment against Bill Clinton, was discussing and agreeing with John Nichols of The Nation, AND associate editor at The Capital Times ( The Madison Capital Times - weeeee!) about the need to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney.
{THUD}
Yep, that was me falling out of my chair.
Additionally, I want to add, even though I'm fairly sure a majority of people feel the same way, that every time Bush invokes executive privilege, you know hes neck deep in the shit. With that said, and in case you missed the breaking news tonight, Bush has gone and invoked executive privilege yet again this week, to cover up and keep from releasing documents relating to the cover up of Pat Tillman's death by friendly fire.
Now the White House has always blamed the military further down the chain for the cover-up, but if thats the case, why the hiding? The White House already threw the military under the bus on that one.. right?
Gaaah, I planned on linking all sorts of information pertaining to this, but I just looked at the clock and its 1:30AM. I'll add some links tomorrow for those interested. Can't wait? Then google is your friend 
NiNight!
Oh and P.S. IMPEACH!
I've really got nuthin' today. Theres not even any knitting I can show you (I did a considerable amount of work on the super double secret contract project last night - socks on hold until I get a good amount done on this)
So how about I spread around some more linky love?
Now I need to go get ready for Connor's teacher's arrival. We've had a full week's vacation from therapy and sessions. Time to get back in the groove!
I watch my site traffic closely. Where people come from, what brought them here, and where they're going when they leave. Some may call it an obsession, I call it plain fun. But what is even more fun, is that since I posted the entry including Keith Olbermann's Worst Person In The World from Monday, more or less for the person taking the gold (George W. Bush), my incoming traffic from search engines has increased significantly. Why? Search terms like "Sean Hannity" and "Sean Hannity + Freedom Concert + Hong Kong Tourism".
It makes me wonder what made people enter those search terms. Looking to see if its true? Looking to see who else is talking about it? What? All I know is that this little ol' liberal knit blogger is getting a kick out of knowing that Sean Hannity's hypocrisy is bringing in traffic!
And with that..
Happy Independence Day, or Happy July 4th for the non-Americans!
Let freedom ring!
Keith's special comment tonight, was indeed special.
Anger, passion, truth. It had it all. Among Keith's best.

But wait, before you do, see this little nugget originally posted at dkos (pdf, filing from Judge Reggie B. Walton. Pay particular attention to footnote.) As Pontificator at dkos rightfully stated: "Talk about incompetence. Bush can't even get Obstruction of Justice right!"
From The Tony Snow Show today (or rather the White House Press Briefing):
Q How does the President justify this commutation when there are thousands of others in jail with a similar request?
MR. SNOW: I'm not sure that -- thousands in jail with similar requests?
Q Three thousand.
MR. SNOW: Three thousand in jail with similar -- I'm not sure that you can take anybody who has a perjury count and say that they're all the same. Every count has to be considered differently. The President, as you know, looks very carefully at these things. And furthermore, not every one of these cases comes before a President, as you're well aware. Attorneys quite often petition for these and that is one of the procedures by which they do it.
Q Can I follow on that? There are more than 3,000 current petitions for commutation -- not pardons, but commutation -- in the federal system under President Bush. Will all 3,000 of those be held to the same standard that the President applied to Scooter Libby?
MR. SNOW: I don't know.
Unless those 3,000 petitions for commutation, are former staff to the President (or Vice President), that answer would be Zip, Zilch, Nada. See.. we, us, Americans.. we're just commoners.
Another nugget I got from Keith's blog:
Then there is also the cold shower of Mr. Bush’s record as governor of Texas, during which time he rarely even read the clemency petitions of death row inmates (152 executions during his two terms as governor). About that time, Mr. Bush told his presumed ghostwriter in his autobiography A Charge to Keep “I don’t believe my role is to replace the verdict of a jury with my own.” Back to the facts: in the case of Karla Faye Tucker, a killer who became a born-again Christian on death row, he refused clemency requests from Pope John Paul the Second, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell (usually strong death penalty proponents) and apparently even one of his own daughters. To the Pope, it seems he gave false reasons for why he could not grant said clemency, and to his staff, he even joked about Ms. Tucker’s pending execution. All of which raises questions of whether there was some kind of quid pro quo in the Libby case.
Don't forget Keith Olbermann's special comment tonight. Theres a preview of what he'll say tonight on his blog.. you can read it here.
