Elizabeth Holtsman: Impeach Bush
Elizabeth Holtzman, who was on the House Judiciary Committee during Nixon's impeachment — ah, memories! — systematically goes through the reasons to impeach Bush now. A snippet: At the time, I hoped that our committee's work would send a strong signal to future Presidents that they had to obey the rule of law. I was wrong. Like many others, I have been deeply troubled by Bush's breathtaking scorn for our international treaty obligations under the United Nations Charter and the Geneva Conventions.

Indigo RageBoy
Chris Locke writes about "Indigo Children," a meme reported on by the New York Times. The Indigo idea sounds like it pushes a whole bunch of buttons all at once — New Age, angels, the paranormal, child-worship, ADD. If it had some anti-child-porn hysteria about it, it'd be perfect.
