Bush goes on trial in Morris, New Jersey.
It may not be much, but it's a start.

I'm looking forward to the verdict.

Bush goes on 'trial' in Morris

President Bush is being tried for "crimes against civilian populations" and "inhumane treatment of prisoners" at Parsippany High School, with students arguing both sides before a five-teacher "international court of justice." The panel's verdict could come as soon as Friday.

Teacher Joseph Kyle said the "hearing"-- he preferred that term to trial -- opened on Monday in a senior advanced placement government class. The school's principal said he signed off in advance on the subject matter.

"I knew it was a sensitive topic. Morris County is a conservative county. Parsippany is a conservative district," Kyle, 37, a teacher at the high school since 1998, said on Wednesday evening.

2. Hey that's only 5 minutes from where I live!
Can't wait to hear the results. * is very, very unpopular in NJ, even in the so-called "conservative" districts. My town is supposedly 95% Republican, yet from my experience, they're 80-90% against the chimp.

5. Morris county are what I think are fiscal republicans
who, by in large, are uncomfortable with the religious intrusion of the government. That's not to say we aren't religious here, it's just a personal thing.

I think the far right repubs are making many people nervous.

Kinda fun to watch.
