Hello .. Is There Anybody In There?
Here is what I sent to my Congressman:
It is time impeach Supreme Court justices for ignoring the Constitution. Here is an excerpt from the 5th admendment:
“nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.”
What the Supreme Court has just done is reverse this (Kelo v. New London, 04-108). The Supreme Court has subverted the will of Congress and the States. If ever there was just cause to remove justices this is it. If the Supreme Court does not interpret the laws according to the Constitution then we no longer have “checks and balances” in our government. The following justices must be impeached in order to restore the integrety of our republic. To not do so means that Americans no longer have the Constitution protecting them from the government. Taking away property rights is one of the first things a totalitarian regime does to it’s citizens. To do so in our country invites revolution. Americans will not stand for this. Please, please do something before it comes to this. I implore you to encourage your colleages in the House to do so. Thank you for your attention.
Impeach them.
Justice John Paul Stevens
Justice Anthony Kennedy
Justice David H. Souter
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Justice Stephen G. BreyerPosted by taran1900

Open season on the open seas and
Captain says no prisoners please
Skull and crossbones on a background of black
We ain’t stealin’ we’re just takin’ backChorus:
We ain’t stealin’ we’re just takin’ back
Very simple plan of attack
It’s our job and a labor of love
Take it home to the up above
We ain’t stealin’ we’re just takin’ back
Very simple statement of fact
Call it pillage or call it plunder
We’re takin’ it back from them boys down underHit us hard, took our treasure
That was the worst thing they could do
It will be our great pleasure
To take it back from that captain kangarooYo ho ho, and a bottle of suds
It’s a pirates fight we choose
No we don’t want a bucket of blood
Just a cup is all we could use
Just a cupThe sails are up and the bets are down
Let’s lighten up this harbor town
By hook or crook or new design
We’re streakin’ for that finish lineChorus:
We ain’t stealin’ we’re just takin’ back
Very simple plan of attack
It’s our job and a labor of love
Take it home to the up above
We ain’t stealin’ we’re just takin’ back
Very simple statement of fact
Call it pillage or call it plunder
We’re takin’ it back from them boys down under-- spoken:
We ask ourselves when we get in a fix
What would popeye do in a tight spot like this
He’d race for his true love and easily win it
In an old spinach can with a mast stuck in itLift us up, take us high
Time to let our spirits fly
Lift us up, take us high
Let us sail until we dieLift us up, take us high
Let us float above the foam
Let our sails fill the sky
We are takin’ our sweet treasure homeTake it back
We’re takin’ it baaaaaaaack
Take it back!

Isn’t this song about the America’s Cup?
No, no, it’s about Government stealing from the people.
Captain Kangaroo is William J. Clinton.
Clinton says, “When you lower taxes you are stealing from the government.”
“Lift us up” is code for free and open markets and tax cuts.
Basically, Jimmy, is a fiscal conservative like the rest of us.

Spiral galaxy M-74, if memory serves. Correct me if I misidentified it, Skipper.
And yes, Skipper, I am sure there are intelligent beings lurking somewhere in those spiral arms, not to mention the other uncountable galaxies with their uncountable stars and planets. And if intelligent beings lurking anywhere in this universe, we shan’t find them wasting millions to evaluate the intelligence of life here. A few seconds’ time would be enough for that task.
After all, they would be able to pick up our network TV programming well before they reach the outer limit of the solar system. And one dose of that will assuredly produce one order on the bridge of the flagship:
“Idiots dead ahead! Reverse course! Get to hell out of here!”
Couldn’t blame them....
Correction paragraph II: “And if intelligent beings ARE lurking....”
Typing in overdrive again. Sorry about that, troops.
It is indeed M-74 and they sent us a message: “Keep your leader, send us Paris Hilton”.
Glad I got the ID right, Skipper. Time was when I could generally identify any galaxy in the Messier catalogue, but those were the 1970’s. Never get a chance to poke my telescope around anymore, and a damned shame too.
As for Paris Hilton, the only reason she has not been “beamed up” is that curses should be localized to their existing sites.
