Aamused in Austin, TX

The famously liberal city of Berkeley is expected to become the first in the nation to put forth a ballot measure calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

The City Council will decide tonight whether to put the measure on the Nov. 7 ballot, at a cost of about $10,000. The measure, if approved, would create a task force to monitor the president and vice president, who backers of the initiative say should be impeached because of the Iraq war, federal wiretapping and other issues.

Dozens of cities, including San Francisco and Oakland, have approved resolutions advocating impeachment, but Berkeley could be the first to let voters decide.

My opinion (not that you asked for it) is that this resolution is total crap and a waste of our money. I do not support impeachment for a variety of reasons. At this point its unfeasable anyway and would simply tie up Congress and waste both time and money.

Berkeley still has about 1/3 of its population living in 1969. Those that do were barely even knee high in 1969. Pardon me while I roll my eyes at my own city council. I'm about to start hanging out at City Hall on Wednesday nights and getting really VOCAL.
