As Independence Day, the 231st anniversary of the collective breakaway of thirteen British colonies from King George III's empire, draws to a close (US time), I can think of just one way to mark the occasion here.

Earlier today, the Los Angeles Impeachment Centre was officially launched. It is intended as a "countywide resource for advancing the impeachment of George W. Bush & Richard Cheney".

With little more than eighteen months of the Dubya Politburo still to endure, it's clear that there aren't enough numbers among the House of Reps Democrats for an impeachment action to be initiated. Yet.

The clamour of the people can only get louder and louder, especially following Monday's outrageous grant of Executive Clemency for Scooter Libby.
