The thought of this scares the crap out of me.

I wonder if we might see a Presidential decree issued during that time frame regarding banning the growing of corn and setting regulations for the disposal of restaraunt used grease. :rolleyes:

I suddenly feel the urge to be out of the country for a few hours...

Now if I was a terrorist, Id be thinking hmmm...

maybe they wil find weapons of mass destruction while they are up there...or maybe his head since thats where it seems to be these days...

or maybe his head

Man they use some powerfull microscopes during that procedure!!

Should be a 7 year procedure considering that he's done that procedure to the entire country over his term. :)

You know....this is not a bad idea :(

Wanna bet he signs some papers as acting president, to his advantage but we will not find out about until long after he dies....many years from now....LOL

You mean Cheney hasn't been acting President the last 6.5 years? ;)

HA! My thoughts exactly.

American voices speak (http://www.theonion.com/content/amvo/5_polyps_removed_from_bushs_colon) at The Onion.

More fuel (http://www.registerguard.com/news/2007/07/23/ed.edit.defazio.phn.0723.p1.php?section=opinion) for paranoia. A congressman on the Homeland Security committee denied access to the administration's classified plan for maintaining governmental control in the wake of a terror attack.*


*or other event deemed significant enough to put this plan into effect, like a massive natural disaster, plague, or elections.

I think Bush is playing politics, ineptly once again. He really lacks common sense.

On the other hand, if there were such a conspiracy it would have been a simple matter to let the congressman review a fake document, thereby diverting suspicion.

The US servicemen swear an oath to defend the constitution, not the commander in chief. If Bush (or Cheney) tried something overtly smacking of a repudiation of the constitution (such as trying to cancel a scheduled election) as a pretense to seize or hold on to power, I am confident they would find themselves at the wrong end of a gun and under arrest for treason.

Having watched these two for the last 6.5 years, I think they really would not have provided something false to the Congressman; they really don't care, and unless they are forced they will deny anyone anything they are of a mind to, and do so with those cute little smirks they seem to have spent so much time cultivating.

And, Cheney's actions while CEO of Halliburton may yet get him that arrest, if we can ever find someone (Feingold, perhaps) to call for the investigation. (C'mon, ya knew I was going to have to bring it up)

they really don't careThat sums up the administration very well. Constitution? Law? Congress & the Judiciary? They really don't care. Everything is just a tool for their "permanent Republican majority" and Executive power expansion agendas.
