From his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/2007\/04\/26\/letters-to-the-editor-april-26\/\">letter<\/a> about the Cradle of Impeachment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>GRIM believes the best way to place impeachment on the front of Congress\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s table is for the citizens of Carrboro, North Carolina, and the nation, to demand Rep. Conyers update the Articles of Impeachment he already has written and get on with the hearings. To remind us of our citizen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s duty, we suggest a simple local step. Several years ago Mayor Eleanor Kinnaird dubbed Carrboro \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Paris of the Piedmont.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I believe she would not mind if Carrboro, at least temporarily, were remembered with another name: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Cradle of Impeachment.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d GRIM suggests the Board of Alderman and your wonderful new paper adopt this as Carrboro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s official nickname \u00e2\u20ac\u201d at least until November 2008.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Word got around the wires last night about a noontime lunch at Weaver Street Market with Cindy Sheehan.
