During the great depression they had Hoovervilles....Bushvilles anyone?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

During the great depression, people set up shotgun shacks outside of major towns and called them Hoovervilles..a reminder of the corporate friendly policies that caused the working man and the poor and infirm down.

Perhaps we should refer to the Astrodome as Bushville...after all...there would be FAR fewer forced to reside there if they only could have afforded the gas to get out of harm's way. There would be far fewer living there had the Army Corp of Engineers received funding instead of America having to suffer through George Bush faith based flood planning (pray it changes course)

1. Once I built a railroad, I made it run,

Made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad, now it's done --
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower, up to the sun,
brick and rivet and lime.
Once I built a tower, now it's done --
Brother, can you spare a dime?

2. Only now, you'd have to make it a dollar. nt

BUSHVILLE is a great name for the Houston Astrodome.
