MISSING: Dozens and dozens of articulate, well-informed women, capable of affording the US news media a broader set of knowledge, experiences, and opinions than the usual set of groaning gray men.

What happened to them? Why aren’t they ever on TV? What, pray tell, can be done?

Where, O where can they ever be?

Try looking here, for starters.

Not sure this is something you can expect Nancy Grace to get interested in however.  

In case you missed it, Rep. Dennis Kucinich spent nearly five hours last night introducing 35 articles of impeachment against Bush.

Of course, the Democratic leadership will never allow impeachment to go forward, since that would require political courage in an election year.

Besides, Kucinich has a nasal speaking voice, and he looks kinda weird.  So never mind that he has been right about the war, right about the Patriot Act, right about Social Security, right about the environment, and right about a ton of other issues all along.  He still looks funny.  So nothing he says matters, right?

Which is part of why CNN has much more urgent issues on their front page at the moment, including Clint Eastwood’s spat with Spike Lee, a look at this summer’s swimsuit trends, and an exclusive interview with Hulk Hogan.  In fact, news about Kucinich’s resolution is currently nowhere on their site.

Still, you might be remotely curious what Bush’s dossier looks like at this point, seven-plus years into what more than 60% of historians recently chose as the worst administration in history.  You might wonder if any of the 35 counts against Bush are at least as worthy of impeachment as lying about a BJ from an intern.

So here: read the pdf file for yourself.

A question for the Great Internet Overmind: a group of friends is planning to climb Kilimanjaro (picture credit: Wiki) around Sept. 13-20th, hoping to add a week in Kenya (I’m guessing the Maasai Mara) before and a similar safari in Tanzania (I’m assuming the Serengeti) after.

They’re pretty experienced elsewhere in Africa, so general hints on malaria pills etc. won’t be necessary.  And I’m pretty sure they’re taking the Shira route up the hill, so no need for any advice on the climb itself.  But the rest of the trip is still up in the air.  So:

Anybody have a line on what’s up with the migration at that specific time of year?  Will the various beasties be up north, heading south, what?  Any specific places they (my friends, not the beasts) should know about?  Recommended guides/operators?  Personal reminiscences of Arusha, Amboseli, or Tsavo to share?  If so, drop an email here and share away.  I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.

I mention this here because I’ve been invited to tag along.  Not sure if I can make it, but if I do I’ll post pics etc. in this space.  Thanks!
