9. The little runt....
...will do anything to make himself look a bit better. Now he's acting like he gives a damn - and given his trackrecord, everyone with the sense of a gnat knows he's just acting.....

10. he was first only scheduled to speak of the Iraqi constitution, then a few
minutes later-they said as an afterthought (the Pres. will also have remarks about Katrinia). It was so obvious that katrinia was a tackon thing that Jr should talk about .

I am talking about the press conference yesterday.

14. He will need alot more walls to weather the incoming people's storm......
Ohio has been violated, numerous laws broken. He will need alot more protection to ever weather the oncoming people's storm headed his direction, which is now planted outside his doorstep.

26. I recall the last big hurricane that hit Florida,
there was some question as to whether the actual body count was being covered up. Was anything ever settled regarding that?

25. Bush is ready to arrest people who sell bags of ice for $8.00...
and try to take advantage of the storm victims. Evil assed people, who promise to rebuild things for the victims and then take the money without producing the goods and run. Bush wants to put those crooks in jail for selling Ice for $8.00 a bag, and then he can award Halliburton the no bid contract to bring in the ice and charge the taxpayers $800.00 a bag. Just like Halliburton is doing when it robs the GIs of body armor, food, fuel, and a safe place to sleep, after the taxpayers have paid for those things the soldiers need. Bush and Cheney are indirectly stealing from the troops, in a time of war and so I don't expect them to really help out the poor folks caught in the storm.


Bush is trying to forget all about the fact, that the oil companies are doing about the same thing to everyone in the country, that the Evil ice sellers who sell the ice for $8.00 a bag, do to their victims. Part of the reason those folks are TRAPPED in the Super Dome, is because Bush is allowing the oil companies to charge so much for a tank of gasoline, that a poor person couldn't afford to leave town. Every kind of ticket out of town, has gone up also with the price of gasoline, while the wages have gone down and the jobs are exported and gone forever. America now exports more jobs than any other country on the planet!

This storm is making Political Capital to beat hell for Bushco. The Photo fine op is Bush's main worry, about Katrina.
