Vermont Town Indicts Bush. Will Town Cops Arrest President?

Dateline: Brattleboro, VT 2008. I cannot imagine a bigger waist of time or anything more wasteful of taxpayer funds than what Brattleboro and Marlboro, VT did earlier this week.

First you need to understand they are towns in the Southeast corner of the state. Traditionally liberal. So liberal in fact that women sometimes can be spotted topless walking down Main Street Brattleboro. I kid you not.

This is also a town full of artist and craftspeople. Just take a stroll down Main Street and you will find boutique after boutique after boutique. Art shops, sandwich shops, antique shops dominate this town. This is a town that votes on a very liberal agenda and they are also rather high in their gay population.

The contrast to Brattleboro is that is is home to one of the largest food distribution companies in the country. C&S Wholesale grocers has a its huge and main warehouse in Brattleboro even though the corporate headquarters has been moved to nearby Keene, NH about 20 minutes east of Brattleboro.

Now what did this town do to catch my attention? Well it didn't only catch my attention but it also caught the attention of some major news outlets.

Brattleboro and its neighboring town made up of trees (which means there are so few people in this town that it could probably be classified as an Hamlet or Village) but named Marlboro, went to the polls to vote on a referendum. It is non-binding, of course. But this referendum was passed by both towns.

It was a vote on weather or not to charge President Bush and VP. Cheney with high crimes and have them indicted and arrested should they set foot in either town. Can you imagine the Secret Service letting local town cops arrest the President and the VP? I think it would be a fierce but short gun battle with the town cops on the losing end.

This is nonsense. This is ridiculous. You have to wonder if Bush is the embarrassment of the nation in the eyes of the world or it its our very own citizens doing really stupid stuff like this. Hell, if the people Bush governs are this stupid, then how can you expect to get a “smart” leader? With a pool of stupid people to draw from, I guess you cannot get a smart leader.

This proves it, because there are not many, if any, smart people in either of these two towns in the State of VT. So that would mean those who step up to lead will most likely be stupid as well. And so it shows and so it goes. This resolution actually passed on Tuesday, March 4, 2008

What else is there to say other than, I think Vermonters, at least in these two towns, should stick to topples lesbians and cow tipping on a warm summer night.
