Liberal Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold said Sunday he wants Congress to censure President Bush for his management of the Iraq war and his “assault” against the Constitution.

Question for PracticalReasoning….. Is it legal to censure George W. because you don’t agree with his politics? If I remember correctly, didn’t everyone agree or at least agree to support the War after the 911 attacks? How many democratic politicians agreed and supported the president in those early days? Are they going to be censured, too?

From reading the AP article, it doens’t sound like the democratic leadership is interested in pursuing the censure – but I do like Mitch McConnell’s response on the matter: “I think it’s safe to say Russ Feingold is not a fan of George Bush. I think that’s the best way to sum that up,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

Now I normally do not like to make fun of other’s misfortunes; however in this case I can’t help myself. It seems Bill Clinton somehow got stranded in a forest in West Virginia. But he doesn’t know how he got separated from his group and when he tried to find them, no luck. Now I would think it would be pretty difficult to lose an ex-American president in the woods,but appearantly not. (chuckle!) Boy, I bet those with him are in trouble!Anyway, once he was lost, he was attacked by some mysterious unidentified animal. He said it was grey and “bear-like” but not quite as big as a bear. The animal mauled him, bit him, and caused pretty substantial injuries. He suffered broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a broken ankle. Wow, Bill, tough day! It all sounds a bit suspicious to me – I think the mysterious unidentified animal was probably Hillary! It’s all good, though. After crawling through the woods for about 22 miles, he found a cabin inhabited by a very nice woman who dressed his wounds. (See top photo.)

I was getting ready for work this morning and listening to Good Morning America, when I heard John Edwards say “Make work pay” when asked about what he would do about poverty in America. Not only did my jaw drop at such a stupid response, but the mascara fell leaving a black streak on my nose. Gee, thanks John!

Now I’m no economic genius, but I can certainly see there are some major flaws with this kind of thinking. So to end poverty, we just all need to go to our companines, bosses, whoever and tell them we need more money to pay our bills and have the lifestyle that we want. Yes, that will really work. And here I was waiting for a response related to, maybe education or welfare reform or even new added goverment programs (which is what I really expected to hear). And no, what I heard was “just make work pay”.  Well John, if you do that, you can say goodbye to all our jobs, as most companies would be forced to close the doors if they were expected to provide salaries/wages to support a specific lifestyle – or one mandated by the federal government.

 Anyway, while my morning routine was disrupted by such silliness (which is really a desparate grab at gaining some ground in his already probably defeated campaign) I did get a giggle out of it. It doesn’t worry me much, other than to think that most Americans really might not be able to see through the stupidity.  Surely we’re smarter than that!

Happy 4th of July!

 What better time to reflect on what a great country this is than on Independence Day. Sure, it’s not perfect; but it’s by far the best country that this planet has to offer. Those of us fortunate enough to be born here, should especially be proud of our forefathers legacy we have inherited by no sacrifice of our own. Many who came before us have provided and molded this land into the home that we love. A home that offers opportunities like no other place the world has ever known.

 I found this little interactive video on FoxNews.com. It’s all about the US Presidents and reminds us some very cool facts! Enjoy! (Scroll down the page – this video link is near the bottom on the right hand side.)
