Today's a day of magic and mystery! And popcorn!

Yesterday was the deadline for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to start impeachment proceedings, or else face Cindy Sheehan's self-righteous electoral wrath!

Let's look at the threat - after we examine this statement, of course:

I was a lifelong Democrat only because the choices were limited. The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th century, except the other Bush debacle. The Federal Reserve, permanent federal income taxes, not one but two World Wars, Japanese concentration camps, and not one but two atom bombs dropped on the innocent citizens of Japan -- all brought to us via the Democrats.

I can't wait to have this reconciled with the "absolute moral authority" thing. Actually, I had better wait, because I have no choice: there are two chances that we're going to see the Left 'sphere come out and say "Shoot, you guys were right. That lady was crazy all along." Fat, and slim.

Thank you, I'm here all week! Tip your waiter!

Or, you could read on.

Getting back to Ms. No-idea-what's-in-store-for-her:

I have nothing personally against Pelosi and have found our previous interactions very pleasant. However, being "against" the occupation of Iraq means ending it by ending the funding, preventing future illegal wars of aggression and holding BushCo accountable. Words have to be backed up by action, and if they aren't, they are as empty as Vice President Dick Cheney's conscience.

If Pelosi does her constitutional and moral duty by Monday, then I believe some balance will be restored to the universe, and my organization, People for Humanity, can carry on with its humanitarian projects. If she doesn't, we will carry on anyway, with a political campaign to boot.

That deadline was yesterday, so today's the day. I'd like to note two things: one, you may not have anything personal against Speaker Pelosi, but she now has something personal against you. Nobody told you that you could have an opinion contrary to the current needs of the Democratic Party. In fact, nobody told you that you could have an independent opinion at all. You were created strictly to be a weapon to be directed against the Bush administration, and no sane person permits weapons to have their own agenda. Put another way: your attempts to rise above your station will be seen as a personal affront to Nancy Pelosi: if she wanted you to matter more, she would have arranged matters accordingly.

Two: no, really, you have no idea what's in store for you? Brian of Conservative Times sums it up best, I think:

Mark my words, this woman is in for a year of pure hell. If she thought we on the right were being hard on her, just wait until she faces what her former allies of the far left have in store for her. Gonna be vicious.
