Seattle. An early morning walk. There's nothing like the smell of exhaust to wake you up and remind you of why you love Bonners Ferry. I also really like the endless drone of traffic and the preponderance of sirens that seem to go on at all hours of the day and night. There is also the never ending construction of skyscrapers. It's a real thrill when you realize there are giant cranes dangling huge object directly over your head. But it didn't rain today, and it wasn't very cold. They have great food here (if you can afford it after you have paid to park). Back to Bonners Ferry tomorrow. Hurrah! Happily I will miss Romney's speech on Faith(?). Want to bet he won't mention the Book of Mormon. I think this speech will make his campaign even more questionable.
It is now perfectly clear that Bush lied about what he was told and what he knew about Iran's nuclear program. So what? He has never done anything but lie for the past seven years. Why does everyone concern themselves about his lying if they aren't prepared to do something about it. He lied. That's nothing new. Will anything be done about it now? Almost certainly not. I guess Congress has just made up its mind (if it can be said to have one) that our President, the leader of our country, is a pathological liar but somehow that's okay because it's just Bush. Remember Bill Clinton, our ex-President who was impeached for lying. That Bush lies constantly and gets away with it will puzzle me to the end of my days.
On Buzzflash today there was a piece on John Conyer and why he thinks Bush/Cheney can't be impeached. The main reason seems to be that they can't get enough votes and to fail would actually help Bush/Cheney. Think about that, if you will. He can't get enough votes. That means he can't get Republicans to vote to impeach. That means, in turn, that Republicans apparently think constantly lying and committing war crimes are matters of unimportance to our country. THINK OF THAT! REPUBLICANS DON'T CARE ABOUT LYING AND WAR CRIMES! They continue to support Bush/Cheney in spite of all the evidence against them and all the damage they have done to our nation. Remember that when you enter the voting booth next time.
