vermont town calls for indictment and arrest of white house war criminals

In the town of Brattleboro, Vermont, this petition received enough votes to advance to a town-wide vote on March 4.
Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution, and publish said indictments for consideration by other authorities and shall it be the law of the Town of Brattleboro that the Brattleboro Police, pursuant to the above-mentioned indictments, arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro if they are not duly impeached, and prosecute or extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them?

The town's website has been besieged by wingnuts, so if you'd like to post a message of support, go here and click on "Your Comments".

The petition has no legal standing, of course. It's just a great idea.

And while we're in the nation of my birth, I'll break my self-imposed silence on the electoral goings-on to offer four words on Rudy Giuliani: I TOLD YOU SO!!

Apparently many people thought this man was really going to run for President of the United States! What a hoot.

New Yorkers know what Rudy is all about. You know, the people who actually lived through "America's mayor" [insert gagging noise here] as mayor? And yeah, the Republicans are going to nominate a pro-choice, Catholic, serial adulterer with two gay best friends. Sadly for us all, Republicans are not that stupid.

And now back to my boycott of the circus.
