Wererats today!

(And I thought of blacking out the sites for the anti-SOPA strike, but decided to just post a message instead.)

Nice Skaven reference. We shall inherit!

Oh, man. Closest I ever got was playing the Rat King in a second-grade play, and I STILL have a curious aversion to those things.

Hehe, one wonders if the writer of The Nutcracker was were and had a grudge against the rats.

As for SOPA. a certain Texas congresscritter needs to be impeached or kicked out next election year. (You know who it is, and he has a history of being a MAFIAA lobbyist.) I'd insult him by calling him a rat bastard, but that would be insulting to every rodent out there, so there. Kick his ass out of Washington and back to whatever hellhole he came from!

Well, you can impeach an elected official if they've commited a criminal offence. You can gather signatures for a recall, but that's unlikely to work, especially if you don't have anyone in mind to take over, and the petitioning comes off as more pedantic than trying to dig up dirt for an iimpeachment. The most realistic option remains to actually vette someone who can beat said political target in the next election. That of course is the last thing that anyone wants to do, as it would mean having to find someone worth voting for.

I honestly doubt much will come of this law, as the Supreme Courts bern surprisingly willing to smack down just about everything that's come their way iver the last few months.

Apparently, Obama's managed to form a Supreme Court willing to decide 9-0 against BOTH political parties...

The line was crossed with this little stunt of his and infuriated the whole of the 'net. Lines have been crossed and this will be a bipartisan (and tea party) war against him. He's going to feel the heat from all angles. And yes, I live down here by CRP (Corpus Christi) so I'm living with the stigma too, but at least the regional reps have their heads screwed on right and are voting against both bills.

This little joker has had a history of dealings with the MAFIAA and he needs to be shown the folly of his decisions.

Soo, impeach the clown for pissing off 3/4's of the 'net? PLUS his allegiance with the Axis of Evil? Oh hell yeah. Put me in line to sign the petition, even tho I would not qualify, I don't care.

You know, even if he could not be impeached, he can be censured and rebuked for conduct and procedural violations. That would be up to a committee to discover and put forth. But I feel his dealings with the MAFIAA in the past and this now, is a clear conflict in interest of the public office he is in now. It's similar to the FCC laying rules down regarding people leaving public office to become associated with directly related companies within a certain time frame. With the White House drawing their line in the sand and the public's attention fully focused upon the two bills, he'll be hard pressed to do much else but wiggle and fidget in front of a committee hearing.
