1. OT: a pet peeve: Its "martial" law. the spelling is vitally important
Martial law means using a country's own military to subdue its population.

WASHINGTON — Aides to U.S. Rep. John W. Olver know Robert Feuer as the man who pushed over the first domino.

Feuer, a Stockbridge lawyer, caused an Internet cascade when he blogged about the Amherst Democrat's refusal to support impeachment last summer.

This, despite Olver's eye-popping assertion in a meeting with Feuer and other local activists in July that he didn't trust President Bush to abstain from bombing Iran and perhaps cancel the 2008 presidential elections amid public uprisings.

Olver has since expressed regret at his wording.

6. Want the worst part of the story?
IF Dear Leader does all that, the American people will . . .

do exactly NOTHING. No pitchforks, no torches, no vats of boiling tar, no feathers, no marching, no outrage.

The For-Profit Media will dutifully report the necessity for the American People to "remain calm." In accordance with previously established plans, America's clergy will remind parishoners that, per St. Paul, all governmental authority derives from Gawd. FoxNews will declare a fatwa on Keith Olbermann.

The ratings for "American Idol" and "Deal or No Deal" will go through the roof. Toby Keith will relase a song about Lady Liberty putting a boot in Ahmadinejad's ass. The Dixie Chicks will be burned in effigy (again), and the intertubes will suddenly become a VERY lonely place.

Just sayin'.

8. I actually Don't think
Cheney and turd boy have the balls to pull that off.

On the other hand they might just be stupid enough to try it....

7. I have often thought that the threat of another synthetic terror attack...
has been used to keep the timid opposition to the Bush/Cheney foreign policy in check.

This tends to confirm my belief.

10. A not unreasonable thought, Junk.
At least in my wacked-out, thoroughly paranoid view. But then, I've been on board with MIHOP since about 2 hours after it happened.

9. That may well be the reason that Congress is not impeaching Bush.
What Congress does not seem to be able to figure out is that Bush could well bomb
Iran and try to declare martial law anyway. In fact, the only way definitely to prevent that from happening is to impeach Bush and Cheney.

Congress is a bunch of fools on this issue.
