implicit art

Has anyone other than Franci Cronje noticed that the Kebble site has removed, from its front page, the Roger Kebble statement that the awards will go ahead as planned?

::direct link to original statement::

This doesn’t mean anything yet (this is still linked from the front page), but it is very curious…. It was very sad to lose BK, and his family must be devastated and confused; the awards being questioned, for whatever reason, are yet another testament to his forward thinking in the first place. I, like most people in South African arts, do hope they carry on - in one form or another - in his name.

…which we know he did.
Thanks for the link, AmericaBlog. Impeach Bush!

Poll: Americans Favor Bush’s Impeachment If He Lied about Iraq | AfterDowningStreet.org

What’s most interesting to me is that a similar poll on Clinton turned up only 36% support for impeachment, but the right and the mostly-right-controlled media went ahead and booted him anyway. Whereas here, it’s barely touched the press at all. Granted, one might argue that this poll was contingent on his Iraq lie (proven over and over and over again; even Cheny was caught in a bold-faced lie, by “the fake news that delivers the truth,” Daily Show, with actual footage — see extremely funny but no less serious clip of Bush/Cheney lies here), but hey, what about Katrina, foreign policy, fiscal policy? The question could have been phrased any of these ways, and would probably have gotten the same response.

Bush’s approval ratings are lower than Nixon’s or Hoover’s, and certainly lower than Clinton’s (nobody died for his indiscretions — he made love not war… I’ve got plenty of these, guys, and I’m here all week). Why is it just politics as usual in DC?
