Chaos insomnia / impeach everybody!

Like a lot of people, I'm finding it hard to get a good night's sleep lately. I sleep fully six or seven hours a night, but I wake up every 45 minutes or so. It's like the way that flight attendants go on strike - never more than ten minutes at a time, but the ten particular minutes that will screw up the entire flight schedule.

I wonder if productivity drops during wartime due to anxiety and insomnia issues.

Apparently, Representative John Conyers (D-MI), the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee is collecting data on the possibility of bringing articles of impeachment against the President. (Or so I hear, anyway. I haven't seen it on the wires yet, so it may be a hoax.) You can email Mr. Conyers at john.conyers@mail.house.gov with your $.02.

Mr. Conyers is apparently not the first person to consider impeaching the Shrub - back in January, CounterPunch ran a draft resolution for impeachment, containing a pretty hefty list of abuses of power and assaults on the US Constitution.

I think we should bring impeachment proceedings against every president - just keep them a little more on their toes about the nature of the position.

Parade Permits

We got the application for the parade permit yesterday - they want us to be insured for $1 million. This could be difficult, since I'm a)not even sure who "we" are, and b) reasonably sure that none of us are carrying that kind of coverage.

On the bright side, we probably don't need a permit at all (as entertaining as the idea of having one was) since as far as I can tell, the parade will take place on the sidewalks, without the addition of marching bands, horses, cars, buses, or any of the other things the permit application asks about. So it's really more of a processional than a parade.

It's cool that people got into this, but on the other hand, we had to have a serious sitdown discussion yesterday about the fact that there is in fact, no higher purpose to the parade than to have a good time, facilitate other people having a good time, and go to the pub (not that those are not noble aims in and of themselves).

Up the vibe, and whatnot.
