But. Clinton's biggest crime (that we know of) was lying under oath, not adultery.
Technically, you're right (IMO the whole thing was a clusterfuck, anyway; the Republicans were just waiting for him to screw up so they could snap at it). And even so, if Clinton got impeached for lying under oath, why hasn't Dubya been impeached for illegally starting a war? It wasn't approved by Congress,all. There's probably some loophole to get him out of it, because hey, this is politics! I don't think they should do it now, anyway, because, as songdog says, the Dems were elected to get things done, and starting impeachment proceedings now would be counterproductive, and anyway, Dubya'd be out of office by the time any court proceedings even started..
b) Mark this day on your calendars because you'll likely not see a day like it again: I agree with Ted Kennedy. But I still don't like the yelling, no matter if it's passion or not (though I think it's more theatrics for the camera).
I agree with the good Senator more often than not. Also, the US is downright somber compared to other countries. Take a look at this:
As far as I know, it's against the rules in Congressional session for anyone else to speak except the person who's standing up. I kind of like the noise. It seems human to me. It's probably a little counterproductive, though. I don't think Stéphane Dion ever got his debate, either, because Stephen Harper is a jerk poor w00bie. *bakes him cookies because he's OMG so adorable* Erm. what were we talking about again? Oh, yeah. :)
Ever since I was a wee girl, no song has stirred my national pride more than "Battle Hymn of the Republic." None. It touches on everything I believe in and includes one the most most persoanlly profound and moving lines ever written: "As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free". I'd make it our national anthemn if I could.
I love it, too. It's one of my favourite hymns (I'm a fan of sacred music in general). I usually sing "let us live to make men free", which probably has Julia Ward Howe turning over in her grave every time I do.
I don't think it should be our national anthem, though, because the religious reference not only goes against the separation of church and states, but is exclusionary to a whole segment of the population who doesn't believe in God. I feel the same way about the Pledge of Allegiance. The words "under God" were added in the fifties, and while it reflected the attitude of the time, it wasn't the right thing to do, IMO.
And anyway, I think our national anthem should be Do Wah Diddy by Manfred Mann. I've said as much for years. :) Can you imagine an entire hockey stadium singing along to that? It would so rock, man.
3.No one I have ever met obssesses faster and so completely as you do.
I'm sure you have me confused with someone else.
can't remember her name. Sara?
Sandie. :)
5. A golden retriever. Beautiful, friendly, fun, loving, and loyal.
Awww! :D
6. Taking a cue from James Lipton, what's your favorite curse word?
I had to look up James Lipton, 'cause I had no clue who he was. So that's that guy's name. :)
Hmm...Probably 'fuck' and its various tenses, but only if it's used sparingly and for effect. If you use it all the time it loses its oomph. It also depends on who says it. If it's Ewan McGregor doing the cursing, it's "shite". Nobody can say that like he can. If it's Paul Gross, it's definitely "fuck". See above sentence. If it's Alan Rickman, who the hell cares what he says? Every word that comes out of that man's mouth is fecking beautiful (Hmm. I also like "fecking", which isn't really a curse word).
