there's no law that says "don't break the law" either. treason is simply subverting or overthrowing the government. in the US, the formal government IS the constitution, not the men who hold the offices, as the government actually is composed of the citizens. quite simply, intentionally violating the constitution to subvert the structure of the government is treason. i don't like impeachments because they're always politcal (with a few judiciary exceptions). however, no president has had as much contempt for the constitution since andrew jackson. jackson really should have been impeached as

the president takes an oath to uphold and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign AND domestic. violating that oath is a high crime (as in high crimes and misdemeanors). the warrantless wiretapping is a blatent violation of the fourth amendment, and the federal courts have said so. that was a violation of the constitution AND a violation of the oath -- AND THAT'S JUST ONE SMALL EXAMPLE of what these plutocrats have done. i'm NOT saying bush is hitler, or hitler-like, or anything of the sort, but he certainly fits the definition of a fascist in his insistence that only article II o

apple loves music $.99 a track. i swear, i'll start buying music online when apple starts allowing 192kbps m4a files instead of the crappy 128 rips.

if someone publishes a book of drag the river tabs (and the band is getting their cut from the sales), i'd gladly take down my drag the river tab site. until then...

you also lowered the bar considerably by calling someone a piece of shit. conservative radical wingnut ann coulter has a book titled treason. some in her clique like to throw that word around. violating the constitution is a much more severe form of treason than having some solidarity or sympathy for aspects of people labeled "enemy". of course, a member of this president's administration has already labeled me a member of a terrorist organization, so who am i to talk about treason?

i was wondering how long it would take until you accused the president's critics of hating america.

i like drive-in camp a lot. this movie was practically tailor made for my junk food consumption. i wanted to see it this weekend, but am waiting to see if it'll be at the drive in theater. i am willing to bet this would go from a C to an A with the tinny mono-speakerbox sound, a lawnchair, a cooler of beer, my dog at my feet and a citronella candle burning beside me.

i'm more inclined to believe he's checking out xmen comics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_(comics)

lieberman gave his stump speech between questions today. it was very much . for those who missed it, it was basically "i'm sick of the status quo. vote for me because i have experience in maintaining the status quo. i'm not a republican, i hate polarization and i can jump the boundries to get things done." the best part was when he was saying that polls aren't useful for governing. yay representative democracy.

killing an arab for no real reason? i'm sure the president couldn't relate to that plotline!

vote for me and i'll give you $300 in a tax rebate!

don vito is a reality star in and of himself.

jim beam and miller high life. my mesh-back hat is not ironic.

the dr dre instrumentals are pretty cool. look for those if you're download happy. public enemy were pretty awesome. early chili peppers (up to mother's milk) should ALMOST count as rap.

PE was east coast (nyc). anyone remember their remake of bring the noise with anthrax? rap metal should have stopped there because it gets no better.

imagine if o'reilley and co. were on the air when mr smith went to washington. sure, the thirties had father coughlin, but he didn't have his own well-tied network to act as mouthpiece.

although in my experience, kids who fall behind/quit have less a sense of entitlement as disenfranchisement. regardless, they can buy in and benefit. it's just hard to break through the crust.

even a stopped watch is right twice a day. that said, "gangsterism" is one of the biggest obstacles for me as a high school teacher. why should students improve their mind when they KNOW they'll be wealthy by pimping and selling drugs and/or protection?

i've been having fun with this all morning http://snakesonaplane.varitalk.com/ be glad i don't have your work phone numbers. heh.

my wife likes old school hip hop.the only rap record i've ever purchased was anthrax's I'M THE MAN.

stuff like that pisses me off. i'll seriously illegally download anything on sony rather than buy it and then throw money at whatever bands at their merch table. of course, i really can't think of too much on sony i want to hear.

i'd like to see jon stewart seek elected office.

i like the ps2 a lot, but i can't see rolling up to a ps3. not at that price.

i think we'll end up with one around our place as soon as the first price drop hits.
