We are a group of friends and acquaintances -- a merry band of pranksters indeed -- who have been arguing about politics on-and-off, then really on, then a little off... since 1998. On email. But that meant literally thousands of emails a year. That was too many. So here's the blog dedicated to carrying on that spirit of political and pop culture argument and dialogue. You might think of us as "schmoliticians", because while we take politics seriously, we try not to take ourselves quite so.
late to the fight, but some of the impeachable offenses are far from actual events or reality.

Hmmm, not exactly exoneration when the article states that the existance of secret camps in Europe can't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (although that would be Bush's conviction standard for his criminal trial), but that secret prisons in other countries like Uzbekistan did exist. Not sure I'd base the "impeachable offense" primarily on the secret camps being in Europe specifically (although, like many of the Europeans who heard this report, I'm skeptical). I'm pretty sure secret CIA torture prisons are a serious problems regardless of where they are, Uzbekistan, Poland or Iowa.
Besides, the CIA fired a senior analyst last week for leaking the story of NON-EXISTENT secret CIA prisons? Not plausible. That's a confirmation equivalent to a Congressional tour of the facilities.
Although I do commend you for citing the New York Times rather than the NewsBiz Righty McDem-Hater World Fox Newspaper this time. :)
Now Pete, there's no call to fling poo about Fox News. I have it on good authority that the White House plans to hire a senior staffer from said news organization... so they can't be that bad, right?
I forgot to add "dotcom" to my slanderous reference to the usual right wing "citation" sources...
BTW - John Snow? If you're going to raid Fox for their "Fair & Balanced" staff, at least steal Sean Hannity and make this lame duck session a real quacker!
John Snow is the Secratary of the Treasury (and also a former Richmonder). Tony Snow is the Fox News personality.
I'm surprised that either of them would take the pay cut anyway.
Excuse me, Tony. News personality, good way of putting it. Would hate to mistake him for a journalist.
