What's New In The People's Republic?

What's going on up in Berkeley? The folks there are going to get a chance to vote on whether or not to call for the impeachment of President Pinhead. Many local governments across the United States have passed resolutions urging impeachment, but the Berkeley city council wants to be the first to put the issue directly to voters. The Berkeley Peace and Justice Commission, which advises the city on civil rights issues, recommended the measure to the council. The panel accuses the Republican White House of intentionally misleading Congress to justify an unnecessary war in Iraq, pursuing unlawful surveillance programs and permitting torture of detainees suspected of links to terrorism.
Republican National Committee spokesman Tucker Bounds said the city council's move was "absolutely out of step with mainstream American voters ... but entirely predictable for liberals in Berkeley."
Ouch.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court (the "conservative" Supreme Court)ruled Thursday that
President Pinhead overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees. The president also has told reporters, "I'd like to close Guantanamo." But he added, "I also recognize that we're holding some people that are darn dangerous."
On that, I couldn't agree with him more.
