The criminals in the Bush administration are finally going to have to answer for their actions. "Georgie" is beside himself! Like Cartman on South Park, he is frustrated that those pesky Democrats aren't respecting his "authorita."

The high crimes committed by this bunch should at the very least be grounds for impeachment. I think they should all be tried for treason.

Over 3,200 brave Americans are dead. Well over 50,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Americans are routinely being spied upon. For the first time in over a century Habeas Corpus is NOT a constitutional right. And Bin Laden is sitting somewhere on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border laughing because of the incompetence of "Georgie" and his crowd. It's sickening!

I hope Rove and the rest continue to resist Congressional efforts to force them to testify. The longer they fight, the more their guilt is revealed. Monsters!

Taking a short break from politics today. I saw a sign in a pawn shop last week hanging above an old guitar. It read: "If it ain't been pawned... It can't play the blues."

The following sonnet is the result of that inspiration:

The Blues Guitar

The old guitar hung on the pawn shop wall

patiently waiting for a blues man's touch.

Tuned and so ready to answer the call,

pick scratched body, scarred from strokes played with such

passion and joy or endless pain and tears

in all those honky tonks for all those years.

Cigarette burns darken the neck to show

neglect of another blues man who wailed

between sips of beer. Only those who know,

only those who've cried, only those who've failed

can pierce the soul with sharpened words, well aimed.

"Oh, I lost love or was unfairly blamed."

A sign below it, braced by ballet shoes

"If it ain't been pawned... It can't play the blues."
