Something new at Watcher of Weasels
We’re trying something new at the Watcher of Weasels site: two people in a back and forth debate about a political issue. Today’s issue is whether, as the consistent Sen. Kucinich has demanded, Obama should be the subject of impeachment efforts. Greg, who blogs at Rhymes with Right, and former council member Soccer Dad, have taken on the debate and done so in the purest form possible: with thoughtfulness, solid facts, and great respect for each other.
I’m not actually sure if I’ll end up engaging in these debates myself. It’s a little too much like my day to day legal work for me, but I’ll see how it goes and I’ll keep you posted.
Also, while you’re at Watcher of Weasels, don’t forget that today is the voting day, so I’ll be reading these articles:
