Ahistoricality Alert Index
Every so often I run across some terribly abused historical analogy or argument. It offends me. This, of course, is nothing compared to the Carnival of Bad History, but it's my small contribution.

2006 May 11: Right-wing commentators drastically underestimate Gandhi and channel Father Coughlin
2006 March 20: Secretary of Defense claims unwarranted virtue for US throughout history, calls for continued unwarranted virtue (follow-up)
2006 January 25: The cost of wars, compared, without any reference to context.
2005 December 4: Right-wing blogger ignores centuries of assymetrical warfare to make cheap political attack
2005 December 2: Not my catch, technically, but it does illustrate a common fallacy.

Index: Impeachment
Suddenly, it seems that everyone's talking (on the left, anyway; I particularly like this one, and this roundup) about "the I-word" in relation to the administration's admission that it couldn't care less about the law (that's why they have lawyers: to find loopholes, or the appearance of loopholes, that will allow their allies who control Congress to talk their way out of investigating or impeaching anyone), at least there's a prima facie case that the President is not only violating the rights of Americans but, and this is more likely to get him impeached, ignoring the will of Congress.
Well, this is as good a time as any to make an index page for my own Articles of Impeachment. After all, some of us have been on the case for a while now:
9 April 2011: The Most Comprehensive List of Scandals and Legal Violations.
16 March 2009: Torture.
25 January 2009: Vanity Fair: An Oral History of the Bush White House
2 June 2008: Fundamental and deliberate malfeasance in military affairs (see also here)
14 March 2008: Interfering in regulatory process
4 March 2007: GreyHawk's "short list" of impeachable offenses and a pointed call to both parties' representatives in Congress.
23 January 2007: reckless disregard for the lives and health of US service personnel and first responders, not to mention the rest of us.
1 December 2006: Elizabeth de la Vega's indictment of top administration officials, up to and including the President, on charges of conspiracy to defraud
26 November 2006: Petition outlining ten charges against the President and Vice President.
14 September 2006: Counterpunch Roundup of criminal acts by Administration
8 September 2006: For militarizing, privatizing and "reorganizing" functional government agencies to create disastrous incompetence.
24 May 2006: An excellent review of historical issues relating to impeachment, pointing out the political dynamics of the process
9 April 2006: Plame Leak Damaged National Security and Signing Statements are UnConstitutional. That's my take, anyway.
14 March 2006: Dan Savage's ITMFA (Impeach the M-F Alread) site is up, but all it has so far is attitude and logo stuff. With luck, his readership will provide him with content soon.
7 March 2006: Juan Cole's Top Ten list isn't very impeachable, but Bush-Blair conspiracy, interfering with the military and unspeakable torture should be.
11 August 2005: Speculation about indictments from the Plame leak
6 May 2005: of course, misusing intelligence data to defraud Congress and the American people into a war is the ultimate high crime.
7 April 2005: threatening the fiscal soundness of the government
Do you think President Bush hasn't considered his culpability and legal exposure? Of course he has. The one thing that all his Supreme Court nominees have had in common is extreme deference to presidential authority; it's a defensive strategy.
And there's already some preemptive talking points out there, pointing out things done by previous (i.e. Democratic) presidents which didn't result in impeachment (though other lesser things did, under Republican dominated Congress, so what gives?). But it's possible to really discuss impeachment with even hardcore Republicans, and it's worth it.

Self-Reported Self-Test Results
I Am (apparently):
I am not:
Memes:
Noteworthy:
- Harry Potter Character Remus Lupin (if you extend the character list to more fictional milieux, I actually come out as Harry Potter), a graduate of Ravenclaw. And if you want to know which of Rowling's men I'd fall for first, it's Severus Snape.
- Going to Die at age 63 (in bed) and only going to Heaven if I'm lucky.
- Good at using Latin phrases
- Like some hard-core programmer website and file extension that I've never heard of; I once was .tar and now I'm .inf, but I still never heard of it.
- Orange! However, this blog should be green; it's my power color. If I'm blue, at least I'm royal blue.
- Einstein, or at least pretty smart. I was a geek in school and in school for the long haul. Talent, Lifer? No, Mandarin.
- sensible shoes
- Les Miserables: Within that story, I'm several characters simultaneously
- Tarot Card: Hierophant or Chariot
- Medieval Society: Monk (also my prefered D&D character type)
- Deadly Sin: Sloth
- talking like a Southerner (or is that "sudina"?). Oh, not really
- Movie type: SF&F naturally. If I'm a Johnny Depp character, I am Ed Wood. Insofar as I am classic leading man material, I am Jimmy Stewart, of course. As classic leading ladies, go, I'd be Carole Lombard
- Knowledgeable but not terribly typical American
- QBasic and OS X
- worth 22 points at Scrabble
- well suited to live in Atlanta in spite of my accent
- Agnostic, bordering on humanist (they're exclusive?), though clearly a theist at heart. Because of this, according to the secular humanist quiz, I'm a muddle-headed handholding humanist.
- postmodernist: Theory Slut, or Grassroots Activist, depending on who I'm dating
- Cultural Creative, aka agnostic...
- Chewbacca, and I know what that means. Though, if I must be a Jedi, I am a pillar of the Republic
- a Rationalist and/or Traditionalist personality.
- born in a time of terrible pop music, but my taste in Rock is pretty good
- elegant, withdrawn and brilliant; Creative but slow-burning
- INTP mostly (also ISTP and ENTP, so the first two categories are clearly borderline)
- the Roman Emperor Augustus
- The United Nations, though I was almost Palestine
- Annoying B-list celebrity Anne Robinson, probably.
- a socialist or social democrat, also known as an old school democrat and a Reality-Based Intellectualist. My political philosopher? John Stuart Mill, of course.
- Mythical Beasts: Angel (fiery?) and Wizard (yeah!)
- Astrological Planet: Venus
- Phlegmatic
- An Abhorrent Hideous Insanity-Spurred Townsfolk-Obliterating Redhead-Injuring Creature from the Arcane Labyrinth
- Italian Food and Chocolate Ice Cream, also Caramel Crunch Donuts and Salt.
- The Wolf, personality-wise. Also my Hellenic Nobility Animal
- Superhero: Superman, still. Or maybe Magneto?
- Very Good, not evil. Or perhaps neither?
- Kanga and Gonzo
- sort of clean, self revealing, open, organized, outgoing, social, enjoys leadership and managing others, dominant, makes friends easily...traditional, tough, likes to fit in, conforming, brutally honest, takes precautions

- Chess Piece: Black Knight
- Literary Form: textbook
- Logical, Classic Rock Veteran, Sniper, or Commando for the French Resistance
- Ethical Relativist or existentialist
- an obsessive-compulsive reader who got a good basic education and is destined for academia. You think? Also, I'm a literary nerd, not one of the other kinds.
- Poetry Form: tanka
- This blog is Rated G but written at a postgraduate college level
- Dr. Seuss book: Oh, the Places You'll Go!
- Lots of Quizzes: Emperor -- Augustus Caesar (again), Civil War Gen. -- George McClellan, Mythological figure -- Orpheus, Nerd -- Kinda Dorky High Nerd, Grammar Geek -- yes, and worth almost 5 grand as a cadaver
- Philosophically: a metaphysical Non-Reductionist, an epistemological Absolutist, and (kind of) a moral Objectivist
I am not:

Ahistorical Guestbook

I don't do this for the traffic, but I'm too neurotic to ignore it....
I've been doing this blog for almost six months now, and am quite curious as to who my readers are. So I invite you to de-lurk long enough to post a comment here.That was almost a year ago. I want to put a little chart here with landmark visitor counts, instead of sticking myself in my own guestbook as I had been doing, and thank everyone who's signed in.
