“BIPARTISAN IMPEACHMENT”
I really enjoyed the latest by Steve Jonas on priorities for the next Congress, and I agree that impeachment should not be the first item on the agenda, but - if possible - should be a bi-partisan effort that results from the oversight hearings and investigations done by the new Congress.
If impeachment becomes likely, I think that Cheney would resign as VP due to "health reasons," and Bush would have to nominate a replacement - maybe we would get Chuck Hagel, who seems to have a reality-based view of Iraq. Then Hagel would become Pres if Bush were removed from office.

“A COLD CHILL”
Please rerun previous articles regarding the fall of the US Dollar v the Euro. We are now at a point where OPEC/Oil Bourse is in the position to accept Euro's for Oil. Also, I had an ominous cold chill go up my spine when Cheney visited the Saudi family this week. I was right! The price of oil would start to go up -and go up it did.

JUNKIE: Thanks for writing TPJ and thanks for asking. TPJ has featured over 100 articles highlighting the impact of Bush’s devaluation of the US Dollar and being the first President in American history that has not defended a strong US Dollar. The seven articles below are a representative sampling of TPJ’s views.
TPJ features another article on the subject today in BUSH WATCH.
DOOH NIBOR (Robin Hood spelled backwards) (1/9/2004): Weak Dollar driving up the price of oil and energy.
BUSH’S UNENDING TAX (1/25/2005): Bush fails to defend the value of the US Dollar. In addition to acting as a consumption tax, the falling dollar adversely effects the financing of the growing national debt.
BUSH TAX (2/20/2005): Devaluation of the US Dollar acts as a tax on every American.
BUSH’S GREENBACK FLU (4/7/2005): Bush’s burgeoning budget deficits threaten the value of the US Dollar raising alarm from economists.
BUSH’S GREENBACK FLUE (A Continuing Saga)(4/12/2005): Bush devalues the dollar in an attempt to make American good cheaper overseas in an attempt to spur a reduction in the balance of trade deficit. A devalued dollar however, may result in oil being traded in euros, not the US Dollar.
THE PHOTO OP PRESIDENT (5/18/2006): Dramatic devaluation of the US Dollar helps propel inflation.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? (7/2/2006): Devaluation of the US Dollar is driving up the cost of oil and other imported goods.
