Well, it will be a long time before the fat lady sings, (or sinks) but she has her make up and costume on.

September 19th, 2005 at 4:53 pmAnd the righty tighty trolls call us hateful. Here is their hero O’Liely with some insightful comments:
“Bush to address the U.N., says we must be steadfast in battling terrorism. I’m sure all the U.N. people fell asleep. They don’t really care about anything over there at all. I just wish Katrina had only hit the United Nations building, nothing else, just had flooded them out. And I wouldn’t have rescued them.”
September 19th, 2005 at 5:06 pmbill maher’s open letter to george…
“Mr. President, this job can’t be fun for you any more. There’s no more money to spend–you used up all of that. You can’t start another war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard’s bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one’s speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
“Now it’s time to do what you’ve always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. It’s time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you’re saying: there’s so many other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don’t. I know, I know. There’s a lot left to do. There’s a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.
“But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You’ve performed so poorly I’m surprised that you haven’t given yourself a medal. You’re a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes.
“On your watch, we’ve lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans. Maybe you’re just not lucky. I’m not saying you don’t love this country. I’m just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side.
“So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: ‘Take a hint.’”

September 19th, 2005 at 5:33 pmQ: How will Bush pass unpopular conservative programs like school vouchers, the estate tax repeal, Social Security privatization and limited environmental regulations with his dismal poll numbers?
A: By cloaking them all in his Hurricane Katrina plan.
For the details, see:
“Trojan Horse: The Bush Plan for Katrina.”
September 19th, 2005 at 6:01 pmQ: What is Bush’s position on Roe v Wade?
A: He really doesn’t care how people get out of New Orleans.
September 19th, 2005 at 8:20 pm#4, The Bill Maher show will be worth watching again in rerun just for that letter!
September 19th, 2005 at 8:25 pmUnfortunately they’re taking us with them on this Titanic cruise.
What are the chances that some nut in the muslim world will try to be a hero to his people and kill some of us over this suicidal policy by the failing President.

Then mix this up with the corporations in the US who are broadcasting calls for concentration camps for Arabs and bombing of Muslem holy sites. (and it doesn’t help that at least one of them is a Jewish radio host – Michael Weiner/Savage).
If you don’t want to be the next victims I would not recommend going up in any tall buildings, hang out around nuclear power or chemical plants, ride on mass transit, live near fuel and chemical shipping routes, etc.
So we all watch Bush proclaim himself ‘king of the world’, but end up in a shipwreck.

Maybe it’s time to head for dry land and join the right wing nuts in Idaho.
September 19th, 2005 at 8:28 pmJust watching CNN
Aaron Brown interviewing a Doctor from PA. who was on the tarmac in NO during katrina – the doctor talked about an Expectancy Room – a place where the FEMA people put several hundred people to wait to die – while doctors and nurses tried to rescue people from the “Expectancy Room” – saying all most of them needed was water – the FEMA people told them no that these people were going to die. MOst of the people were still alive when put into the Expectancy Room, and they were left to die.
I’m not making this up.
September 19th, 2005 at 10:36 pmIs Dr. Mengele working for FEMA?
September 19th, 2005 at 10:37 pm“You get the impression that we’re more than listless. We’re sunk.â€
I wouldn’t suggest that BushCo is “sunk.” That seems a bit harsh. “Impotent” would be accurate. So would corrupt, incompetent, out-of-touch, contemptuous, deceitful, arrogant, ruthless, and manipulative, just to name a few adjectives. But “SUNK” — gee, that seems just a bit harsh. No need for them to be so hard on themselves like that!
September 19th, 2005 at 10:43 pmCNN POLL: Bush approval rating at 40 percent.
The Bush “era” is over.
September 20th, 2005 at 8:44 amExactly what kind of “right wing laboratory” do these guys intend to set up? If their experiment succeeds, how do they propose to use the same method to “remake” other cities?
September 20th, 2005 at 10:04 amSomeone shed a tear, please …
September 20th, 2005 at 10:25 amOhioan,
You should be happy. Two of the criminals involved in rigging the ohio election results for bush were recently indicted. Apparently more indictments are on the way.
