: Good news is always a welcome sight
Wow. Sometimes even a neutered dog can bear its fangs. The House voted successfully today to hold Karl Rove in contempt, for which he could serve up to a year of jail time. He'll fight it on appeal, of course, but this is still a major step towards trying to hold SOMEONE in the Bush Admin. responsible for the illegal expansion of Presidential powers over the last 8 years. This, on the heels of the SC decision to reinstate Habeas Corpus, is giving me some hope that we might yet emerge from this mess with an intact Democracy again.
In regards to an intact PLANET, I'm urging all Massachusetts residents to click here for some more easy activism in asking House Speaker DeMasi to sign on to pass the state's Global Warming Solutions Act, which the State Senate already approved but the House is on the fence. The deadline is tomorrow so please act now.
