    George Gulag's Listening Post

    So the Republicans' logic on the reach of GW's presidential authority is that Bush can mount an unprovoked invasion on a sovereign nation, then justify every action he takes thereafter because our nation is at war.

    Newspapers, television "news" and individual reporters have been giving this regime a pass for far too long, and are now lining up to boost the gulager-in-chief's popularity at a time when calls for impeachment and a restoration of a level of sanity should be ringing across the land.

    Does anyone know if Finland is still taking in disaffected Americans? And can I bring my pets?

    Happy Holidays!
