I have to agrre with A on one point... Yes, Congress is a mess... Rather than a manatory retirement age perhapa a better idea would be *real* campaign finacne reform that doesn't require a Senator to raise $8000 a day to have enough money to refinace his next campaign???

It's no wonder that there tens of thousands of paid lobbiest crawling all over D.C. with tons of cash and it'sw no wonder than what we have seen over the last couple of decades is more and more legislation that in corporate friendiy at the expense of the poor and middle class...

No, thbis ain't exclusively about the rival fraternities on campus becuase they both are taking cash from the fats cats... But, I will say that the cuurent batc h of Repubs have reduced fund raising to something that more resembles the "protection" money that the Mob used to collec t from the mom-n-pop corner stores with their "pioneers" and "rangers" out there 24/7 srtrong-arming folks for dough...

As to the impeachment, I stated originally that it was unlikely because the Repub fraternity controls both houses of Congress...

But that doesn't mean that Bush has bot comittes impeachable offenses... I think that a lot of folks are confused as to jusdt what "impeachemnt" means... It doesn't mean that a president "is" guilty of anything... It means that there is enough evidence that Congress should hold a trial to excamine the facts and make a detefrmination...

Given the circus of well financed impeacement of Bill Clinton, not that I liked his one danged bit, I believe that Bush is well beyond the Clintgon threshold...
