Bush and Cheney Arrested

Well, not really but maybe if theystop for gas in the wrong towns in Vermont. Yes, this is a symbolic gesture. It isn’t the first though.

Democrats.com has a petition, which I’ve already written about in Now that the Democrats have the House… but which is worth reprinting:

I support the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the following reasons:

1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal “War of Aggression” against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, and misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization.

A rational scale to assess the harm of drugs. Data source is the March 24, 2007 article: Nutt, David, Leslie A King, William Saulsbury, Colin Blakemore. Image via WikipediaAnd pick up with Acid, X, and weed.

A new study of recreational drug use out of the UK has reached some startling conclusions. The study headed up by professor David Nutt of Britain’s Bristol University and his colleagues have proposed a new framework for classifying recreational drugs and harmful substances. Within this new framework alcohol and tobacco were listed higher on the danger scale then other more notorious drugs like: LSD, Ecstasy and Cannabis (more commonly referred to as marijuana). Here is the list of the twenty harmful substances with the number one spot and title of most harmful drug going to Heroin.
