Hey Folks
In case you've been wondering where the hell I went (at least, the few of you that aren't Spycraft fans already), I've spend the last month and a half building up the new Crafty Games website. I'm pretty happy with it, but it's eaten my brain and blogging time alive. Now that we've been up for about 2 weeks, things are starting to calm down and hopefully i can get back on the blogging track. And the reason I came back...insanity in the White House.
First up - President 'defends constitution' by refusing to follow constitutional law. Seriously, WTF? Nation's top executive saying, 'nah, I don't think I want to follow the law today." Sounds like Saddam to me - oh wait, Saddam followed the law in his country. The only strategy I can figure is they know they can delay the inevitable exposure of their crimes by forcing all requests through the courts. If they get lucky, maybe the newly hand-selected Supreme Court will find for its master, thus chaing the Constitution forever.
Next up - welcome to Planet Cheney, population 1. Vice president argues he is not part of the executive branch. ...words escape me. Let's do a little research, shall we?
Article Two of the US Constitution states:
Of course, it also states:
Food for thought. Treason is not directly visible, but bribery (Haliburton conflit of interests) and plenty of other high crimes (torture, domestic spying, violation of habaeus corpus rights, illegal wars) and misdemeanors too numerous to count are day to day occurances in the White House.
I'll leave this one to John Stewart:
And this is just funny/depressing/scathing.

Article Two of the US Constitution states:
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:
Of course, it also states:
The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
