1. I wish I had a dime for every time I said this in the past 7.5 years, but

Maybe this time the dam is really breaking.

God, I don't even ask for impeachment anymore. Just give me vindication for all the dark certainty of the presence of evil abroad in the land that I have felt in these times. Let the drape fall off and expose all the ugliness of this monster that has ridden like an alien parasite attached to the jugular of the nation, sucking the lifeblood and goodness out of America for these past long years.

3. Kicking and Recommending

I wonder if at least Keith will report on this. I read most of the PDF. This is proof of corruption in the WH leading to Karl Rove's door. Will the MSM even mention it?

5. ''Corruption in public office is treason.'' -- Adlai Stevenson

And another thing Sen. Stevenson said:

"The government must be the trustee for the little man, because no one else will be. The powerful can usually help themselves.....and frequently do." -- October 29, 1955
