    Isn't that like a formal contract?

    goddamnit.
    when does it stop !?!

    Its like i am seeing no less than a half dozen things each day that either

    a. scare the shit out of me
    b. make me want to cry, or
    c. openly revolt against

    this abomination of a pile of shit we call our fucking government ... the executive branch, in specific.

    :(

    at least SOMEONE is protesting.

    This may be a fucking first but here goes:
    "YAY, LAWYERS!"

    ???
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I'm glad to see someone is ready to revolt against the "powers that be".

    Has anyone looked up the "powers that be" on wikipedia? If not, I'll save you the trip:

    I'm happy to report that Bush and Cheney et.al. aren't listed there.

    In fact, no one in any real position of authority is listed there.

    Kinda makes one think. Or not.

    Getting back to signing statements, raise your hand if you believe W's should be cut off.

    Bush has most many Americans head down and silent as they happily chew away on their plate of hay.

    mooo
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    In July 2006, a task force of the American Bar Association described the use of signing statements to modify the meaning of duly enacted laws as "contrary to the rule of law and our constitutional system of separation of powers".

    Bush + rule of law = oil + water
