These are more than just “articles of impeachment.” They are that, plus all the supporting evidence behind each article.
Is this the first time George W. Bush has been called a “liar” and a “war criminal” on the floor of Congress? I’m guessing the answer is “yes.” Long, long overdue.

This next-gen washing machine could be on the market in a couple of years. Widespread usage of it would save enormous amounts of water. The plastic pellets drop into a tray when the clothes are washed and can be reused up to 100 times. Plus, the clothes are mostly dry after being washed.

That’s what Recreate68.org says they want to do. They do have a Statement of Non-violence on their site and say they want to revive the revolutionary spirit of ‘68. But the only parallel most will draw is to the ‘68 Democratic Convention in Chicago, which was anything but non-violent (on all sides.) So, IMO, they’re either confused or masking their intent. They don’t really identify who they are and their link to supporters is dead. Color me suspicious.
Violence in the streets of Denver would be beyond counter-productive. Any group calling for it, directly or indirectly, is either an out-to-lunch far left grouplet trying to out-Left everyone else and / or deliberate provocation by whoever.

Home prices in the far reaches of suburbs are dropping due to rising gas prices which makes such homes, with their long commutes to cities for jobs, less desirable.
This trend, long-term, is irreversible.

“You in the FARC should know something,” Mr. Chávez said in the broadcast of his Sunday television program, during which he also called on the rebels to release dozens of hostages, including three American military contractors. “You have become an excuse for the empire to threaten all of us.”

Huge housing developments and cities that are mostly privately run are appearing now in India for the wealthy. They have their own police, electricity, and water. The residents say the government is no longer providing those services adequately, or even barely, so corporations are doing it for them instead.
While this NY Times profile seems aimed at showing the huge income disparities in India, the parallel to the US seems obvious. As States continue to hollow out, we will see more of this, and in the US too.
It all simultaneously seems unreal and unstable. Women and children are encouraged to stay inside the enclaves while shantytowns of workers for the wealthy live in abject poverty outside them.
