Excuse the story of local interest, but I just find it too funny. The Madison City Council stayed-up all night arguing about an official declaration calling for Congress to impeach President BUsh.
At 4AM, they finally voted, but by then, too many people had gone home to bed.
I just find it laughable and inappropriate when local politians try to speak for their constituants on national issues. They weren't elected because of their wisdom on foreign policy.
I'm as anti Dubya as they come but have to agree with you...what a waste of time. Send a letter to your Congressman and try and force them to do the job you sent them to DC to do.Originally Posted by Harlan Huckleby

Madison should really secede from the Union and make their own country.
Is there anything they do like about the current state of the world?

On second thought, we need them around for the Badgers.
Let 'em stay.

they could be the Fitchburg Badgers.
Never mind, more local crap. Fitchburg is this "city" next to Madison that is the size of Rhode Island and has 67 people. They invented it as a tax dodge, to prevent Madtown from expanding South. I hate Fitchburg and Fitchburgians. (only kidding). (sort of)
Are there any Fitchburgians on this forum we need to be warned about?

I guess if Madison didn't vote to impeach Bush, Ripon is out of the question.

Liberal envy. San Francisco-lite.
Madison:
An isthmus surrounded on all sides by reality.
That is what we called Madison when I went to college at Milton.
Gotta leave Ripon alone...they are the home of Ripon Good Cookies...yum, yum!
C'mon, Madison is not that radical a city. I lived there for a year and enjoyed it. !
At least the effort to impeach records for history the nature of those folks on the Madison City Council. It's important to know what you're dealing with. Bush has a lot to answer for - he started an illegal, immoral war against nice people, has slaughtered 400,000 to 25 million Iraqis, he caused Katrina and only provided 127 billion to help clean up, he caused global warming and denies it's existence, he only provided 5 billion/year in climate research while in office, he cut taxes ONLY for the super rich, he increased th federal deficit in a time of peace, he made the entire world hate us, when before he was president, we were beloved by the world, he cut off stem cell research funding and sentenced Christopher Reeves to death, he destroyed the Columbia Space Shuttle, and he allowed mercury trade-offs. Aren't these impeachable offenses?

Hey, Harlan. Even if I wanted to, I lack the technological skills to do any serious hacking.
In writing this you call yourself a conservative rat? Wait until Merlin sees this...he will probably say your math doesn't add up.
Math doesn't add up? I didn't think sarcasm needed adding...

Sad thing is ... they probably passed the motion with room to spare, and only lacked proper quorum.
Hilarious pseudo-rant, btw, mraynrand.
