I'd write to my Rep Randy "I'm a shithead who tried to demonize park workers for closing the parks when I helped shut down the government" Neugebauer too but I thought only the Senate really mattered for impeachment?

No, the House matters because they House would bring the charges and then the Senate would not convict, making the House Republicans look like a bunch of petty partisan loonies in a very public way.

North Carolina, your US Senate race is without honor!!! Fortunately, there David Waddell is now a qualified write-in candidate.

quote:

In January, Waddell’s memorable four-sentence resignation letter quickly went viral, appearing on national and international websites, from Romania to New Zealand. The story was translated into Portuguese, French and Dutch, among other languages.

At the time, Waddell said the letter was written in Klingon, the language of a proud warrior race on “Star Trek,” as an inside joke with the mayor. He included an English translation which ended with the phrase: “Perhaps today is a good day (to) resign.”

Mayor Michael Alvarez had called the letter childish.

And it doesn’t appear as if “Star Trek” will play a big role in the campaign.

“Having campaign signs in Klingon is probably a bad idea,” Waddell said, responding to an Observer question. “But maybe I’ll make up one or two and put one in the mayor’s yard.”

Qapla'!

When a president is bombing and killing shitloads of people in foreign countries while loving over women and minorities domestically (and let's not forget the tax cuts that helped gently caress the entire world economy), I think it's perfectly OK to be upset at him for saying he "had fun" doing it.

In 10 or 15 years, we will look back fondly on the days when there were only a few thousand Middle Easterners dedicated to destroying the U.S. and willing to die for the fundamentalist cause. From this war, a million bin Ladens will bloom.

The fundamentalist groups haven't even targeted Israel, never mind a country that's 10 thousand miles away. They're much more interested in a FYGM land grab of the Middle East than ideological terror.

Well, the organizations that kicked off all these revolutions (prior to them being taken over by nutbars) were the organizations that were formed protesting the Iraq war. So no war means no Egyptian revolution and the like, at least on the same timescale because without a group to organize the sitins, protests, bring the unions on board, etc you'd just have a lot of undirected displeasure.

The droughts and price spike probably still would have happened, unless there is a case for the Iraq war triggering Wall Street malfeasance I'm unaware of. So you'd have seen something. But I don't know if it would have been the government toppling we've seen without a politically organized core. And without that core, I don't see organized violence taking off because the state response would be more diffused (no network to target) and the radicals wouldn't have a starting point of groups to take over and a more diffused response makes it more difficult to rally reactionary violence against.

Plus the insurgents wouldn't have a decades worth if experience in fighting an army to bring to these fights.
