The polls don't lie. Bush is neck and neck with Nixon for the monicker America's most hated "President". But Congress fares even worse. Congressional Democrats didn't get the memo: the people want the war against Iraq to end and they want it to end now; the Constitution is not negotiable; and, finally, it's stupid to create dictatorship in America while claiming that we are fighting for Democracy in Iraq. Democrats might have been in a better position but for the cave-in on funding Bush's tar baby to the tune of $100 billion. Democrats will pay the price for having made a Faustian bargain.
Bush defies Congress and the people with his every signing statement yet Congress seems strangely acquiescent. What reason have we to expect that Bush will suddenly stop defying Congress and the people? And, if he should be impeached, what reason have we to believe he will leave willingly?
The situation is surreal if not unprecedented. Although Bush enjoys the support of only about 28 percent of the American people, he faces no real Congressional opposition. What gives? I am more angry with Democrats than with the GOP. I had higher hopes for the Dems. I know the GOP to be a crime syndicate masquerading as a political party and am never disappointed.
Democrats were given majorities in both houses primarily because the people are sick, tired and disgusted with Bush's ongoing war crime, his Orwellian perpetual war. They are sick and disgusted with Bush's unseemly power grabs, his dumb ass arrogance, the unholy combination of stupidity and venality. Bush poses a clear and present danger to civilization.
Perhaps this is just the calm before the storm. Or worse --there will be no storm. Will we all go quietly into that good night where the Constitution, just a "goddamn piece of paper", is overtly trashed, Congress sent packing, and the high court kept around for the robes and the gravitas they bring to it all?

As I wrote recently, the people themselves have a remedy. There is sure to be a Federal Judge friendly to a petition to convene a Federal Grand Jury for the purpose of investigating a smorgasbord of charges against a crime syndicate better known as the Bush administration. Find that judge! Your honor, if you should read this blog, we have a job for you. Convene a grand jury to investigate George W. Bush and his entire, crooked gang. You will have probable cause in spades.
If the Congress will not end this war, this crooked administration, the people must! Enough of this crap is enough!
