Ind. city considers Bush impeachment
-------------------------
LAKE STATION, Ind. -- Officials in this northwestern Indiana city of about 14,000 have agreed to discuss a resolution urging Congress to impeach President Bush.

The Lake Station City Council will consider a resolution April 13 at the request of resident Brian Cretton. Cretton attended Thursday's council meeting and read a prepared statement asking officials to place impeachment on their agenda.

Cretton said the president had misled the country about Iraq, allowed illegal spying on Americans and violated international torture treaties.

People in the audience laughed and applauded when Mayor Shirley Wadding said to "add impeaching Bush" to the agenda.

Council President Keith Soderquist said the request was unique.
"We've never been given anything like this before," he said.

If you're losing places like Indiana, you're in deep trouble. If we can get a Democratic majority in either the House or the Senate, Mr. Bush's last two years in office aren't going to be nearly as "fabulous" as 2001 was.

9. I had assumed it would be Bloomington

I've never heard of Lake Station, that I can remember, even though I used to live in northern Indiana.

10. Oh, it's the former East Gary!

Changed its name after I had moved away. It used to be a grungy industrial city near Chicago.

Like many states, Indiana doesn't match the usual stereotypes. Or perhaps I should say, it's much more diverse than the stereotype indicates. There are conservative, rural areas, liberal college towns, industrial areas where the unions are or were strong, and so on.

12. Don't forget the conservative college town!

West Lafayette...
Ann-Thrax and Whore-owitz get cheered when they show up here...

Wow, a Hoosier town resolving in favour of impeachment...

13. As an IU alumnus, I always forget that one

:)

11. Meanwhile the house of representatives is more interested

in having hearings on a black woman hitting a cop. - Far more important than the president selling out the CIA.

14. Let's just make a nationwide referendum
