Winfield, Missouri now under water.
This is a major disaster. A man on TV says this is the 4th 500 year flood he's seen in 20 years.

4. No, no, you drill where it is flooded and then the water goes down the drain. |
|
I cannot claim that to be an original thought because doubtless Bush has considered it first.

16. I know, I was making a lame attempt at being funny by poking fun of Bush's intelligence, |
|
or, more accurately, his lack of intelligence.

6. Georgie is more interested in handing out medals |
|
and making tacky jokes than he is in listening to Army Corp of Engineer reports about our failing infrastructure or the death and devastation that follows.

7. But the Corporate Whores are too busy trashing Obama's foregoing public financing and, meanwhile, |
|
Steny Whore and the Democratic Traitors are setting up the phone company criminals with immunity.

Heartfelt sympathy to all those affected. This is when OUR government is supposed to HELP its own citizens. Instead we are pumping so much money into the war machine there is precious little to help those who actually finance and basically underwrite this government. We The People.

19. Some girl bought a pair of Victoria Secret thongs.. they broke.. and a metal clip sprung up and hit |
|
her in the eye. She's suing. MSNBC has run the story repeatedly today. Along with crap b/s about Michelle Obama.
Fox is doing in-depth on the floods. Go figure.
