He speaks to Los Angeles' Progressive Democrats of America (yay, team!) on the subject of his book, "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder" which is now being sent to all the state Attorney Generals and the prosecutors of big cities. He discusses his idea of an AG or prosecutor filing charges at the local level for murder -- and he thinks there's a chance of getting him charged AND convicted. And yes, Bugliosi wants him charged with capital murder with all the potential penalties that implies. While I'm against the death penalty, I do love the idea of the bastard having to beg for clemency like he has made so many beg only to be turned down at the last minute.

Bugliosi announces the backing of his initiative by a major southern Republican senator. Also, thank heavens for the BBC -- they came up with much of the financial backing for the documentary based on the book since he couldn't secure funding inside the US (he damned near couldn't find a publisher). Bush's famous octopus has spread its tentacles out in every direction it seems.

I should point out that Bugliosi is a former California DA who successfully prosecuted Manson and his followers for murder. He has only lost one case -- he has never lost a murder case.

This is part 1 -- here is part 2 and part 3.

Allow me to reiterate: I'm against killing people AT ALL. I do not believe in the death penalty (which I thought I made VERY obvious ... in fact I think I said that specifically). Although I'd love to see Bush beg as he's made others beg, I ONLY want to see him beg. I also want him to live a long, long life AFTER he begs.

The Bushler has now started frightening children into running in the other direction.

This is from some sort of t-ball tournament which Bush was whoring to make himself look more "human".

A quick thank you to the most amazing paledestinyfor the wonderful John Adams mood theme she created.

Actual, real surprises tomorrow (good ones ... I think)

I was musing yesterday in an email to a friend about the "strong artist" concept behind Iron Man. I just love the name of Obadiah's Iron Monger. The marketer ... the supply chain ... the pusher. It's big and lumbering, it's extremely powerful but it has all kinds of design defects about which it knows nothing. Its size and might are two of its best and worst attributes. After Steve Jobs explained to Paul McCartney the then-new concept of the internet, Paul merely nodded and said "now the future belongs to the artist" (which is why Macca had a fully functioning website the moment "the web" came into being). The internet does an end-run around the merchandiser that had previously strong-armed the supply chain to feed its wealth. That's why we're seeing so much corporate action against Youtube and other open centers of information dispersal. They're terrified of the fact we don't need them as a source any longer.

Okay, end of mini-riff.

Bush should have a bigtime bunker mentality these days. Scotty McClellan, former White House press secretary, has just published a scathing indictment (possibly literally) of the Bush White House. He clearly states in there stuff that should have indictments handed down on Cheney, Rove and their various Oompah Loompah. Here's a piece posted on Huffington Post. Speaking of Iron Monger (as we were), I should add that these indictments concern the "outing" of Valerie Plame as a CIA agent. Guess which country Valerie was spying on? Iran. Guess what she was, in part, tracking? Illegal shipment of weapons from the west to Iran. Gosh, I wonder why Cheney outed her. :( In doing so, he also gave up vital Iranian internal information that might have supplied the data on Iran's nuclear build-up (or lack of) and thereby lessened the threat of Washington bombing Iran. Guess which military company is selling no-bid munitions to the military? You got it. Cheney's Halliburton.

Vincent Bugliosi (former LA District Attorney who has prosecuted dozens of murder cases and never lost one ... including the Manson trials) has written a book simply titled "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder" in which he lays out the groundwork for a criminal prosecution. This is a very important legal writer and possibly one of the most important books of our times. Here's an excerpt again on Huffington Post.

Lastly and far less importantly, I've redone the front end of my website to make it more user-friendly (you see, I do read my visitor mail!)

We are so lucky to have this intelligent and eloquent man on a US news network (my god, who knew I'd be saying that about our old local sports guy? lol). BTW, if you missed Richard Klein on his show last night, you missed a gem -- he was hilarious.
