    They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is, remarkably, their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again?

    What a Sincere Apology Sounds Like

    Don’t care what politicians do in their personal life.  In my perfect world, none of a politician’s or celebrity’s personal life would ever be reported.  But we do not live in that world.  Cenk Uygur appropriately points out that Governor Sanford left out a couple of things in his apology.

    I [Cenk Uygur] can begin to forgive Sanford if he gives this apology:

    Palinology

    David Michael Green publishes another near perfect post about Palinology:

    Whoa and Woe: Living In Sarah Palin’s America (collapsible content, click to show/hide)

    I can’t tell you how despondent I’ve grown in the last weeks.

    Is there really no hope for this country, after all? It now appears so.

    In January of 2003, John Le Carre wrote that, “America has entered one [...]



    Wexler – Help Me Impeach

    Dear xxxx,

    I need your help:

    My strong and vocal stands in favor of impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney have made me a target.  I am now under siege by the right wing, who are working hard to defeat me and silence the causes that we believe in.

    In the eyes of the right wing, I am seen, [...]



    can we impeach the bastard now?

    Things are rapidly devolving in Afghanistan back to the bad old days of Taliban-Northern Alliance violence, with the added target of U.S. troops in the middle:

    Insurgent attacks have put US and NATO forces on the defensive in eastern Afghanistan, an area recently touted as a counter-insurgency success but now a focus of spreading insecurity, analysts say.

    In the latest attack, at least [...]

    Image via WikipediaThe lack of a free and unbiased press has been a big issue of mine for too many years now. I remember when the media ended a pointless war and drove a corrupt President out of office. But those days are long gone and our lamestream press in this country now does us much more harm than good. Tim Robbins speaks out [...]



    something to smile about

    Voters in two Vermont towns on Tuesday approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for “crimes against our Constitution”, local media reported.

    The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to “extradite them to other authorities that [...]



    Praise for The Columbian impeachment piece, effort continuing at local, state and federal levels

    Local activist Celia Louderback has praise for our local paper in today’s reader opinion section for spreading George McGovern’s article about impeachment:

    Spread McGovern’s insight

    Every citizen who read George McGovern’s Jan. 13 opinion, “Time is ripe for impeachment,” owes The Columbian a huge debt of gratitude for publishing it.
