		<description>Bush was inept and unprepared in his response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. A lot of this had to do with the fact that the majority of the people affected by this disaster were African American. FEMA kept saying that they couldn&#039;t get to the victims soon enough due to flooding but the media had no trouble getting to them. The federal response was poorly managed. Bush has a history of hiring political appointees who have no experience - Michael Brown who used to train Arabian horses before he was selected to head FEMA.</description>

		<description>Bush&#039;s visit was just another photo-op, and now that he knows MN is even part of the country, I fear for it. 

Bush is a phychopath with a sick ego, who fancies himself a tough guy, but in reality is a fragile little poser.  Babs Bush did a number on the kid. It would be nice to get a psych profile on all the candidates, but it seems more important in this country to know their finances, rather than their mental faculties.

For the NSA record, the only chair Bush should occupy is the patient seat in a psychiatrist&#039;s office.</description>

		<description>After all that, Lora, that&#039;s the best you can come up with?  I mispelled one word?  I apoligize for the mispelling, but your argument is both lame and pointless.  If you are going to judge a post by it&#039;s spelling, then you just disqualified half the Bush hating liberal kooks here as well.  Furthermore, the correct name is the &quot;Orleans Levee Board&quot;, so if you want to pick &quot;gnatshit out of peppah&#039;&quot;, It would appear the organization you named never existed either.

		<description>Ever hear of the New Orleans Levy Board? And entire local bureaucracy devoted to nothing but the New Orleans Levies. Hence the name, New Orleans Levy Board. Google â€˜em up sometime if you want to learn something. 
Comment by O. Bigfoot-in-the-Mouth â€” August 7, 2007 @ 1:00 am

Leave it to Bigfoot-in-the-Mouth to tell us to google an organization that doesn&#039;t exist, New Orleans Levy(SIC) Board.  &quot;Levies&quot; mean tariffs collected; &quot;to levy&quot; means to impose and collect taxes--a thought I know makes you neoCONs shudder.  Or perhaps you mean the Jewish family name &quot;Levy,&quot; Mr. bigfoot-in-the-mouth?
There is, however, a New Orleans Levee Board, which deals with embankments to prevent flooding.  But those who google it should beware of all the neoCON spin surfacing to put all the blame on it, which is obviously what bigfoot-in-the-mouth has been reading, even though he can&#039;t spell the name correctly.</description>

National Intelligence Estimate: Al Qaeda stronger and a threat to US homeland
Report points to war in Iraq and Pakistan&#039;s tribal areas as allowing Al Qaeda to regroup.

By Tom A. Peter
from the July 19, 2007 edition
The release of a new report Tuesday that says Al Qaeda has reorganized to pre-9/11 strength and is preparing for a major US strike has sparked debate among government officials and observers about the Bush administration&#039;s foreign policy and counterterrorism efforts. The National Intelligence Estimate assessment indicates that the Islamic terrorist organization&#039;s rise has been bolstered by the Iraq war and the failure to counter extremism in Pakistan&#039;s tribal areas.

&quot;The Terrorist Threat to the US Homeland&quot; report focuses on the next three years and is the first report to review the potential for terrorist attacks exclusively in the United States, reports The Boston Globe. The nation&#039;s 16 intelligence agencies began compiling the report last October and completed their assessment in June. Though the report indicated that Hizbullah may become a threat if the US takes action against Iran or seriously threatens or attacks the Islamic organization, the majority of the report focused on the &quot;rejuvenating effect the Iraq war has had on Al Qaeda.&quot;

Yeah, Bush is making you so much safer.</description>

		<description>&quot;Yeah, Oâ€™Bigmouth, youâ€™re right â€” the local leaders in NO sure had a lot of say over what the Army Corps of Engineers did with their leveesâ€¦

Iâ€™ve lived on the ICW. I know from experience how quickly the Army Corps â€œsnaps toâ€ in order to address the needs of local communities, and how eager they are to hear the concerns of the people.

Youâ€™re a simpleton at best. At worst youâ€™re a fraud. Either way youâ€™re a tool.

I know I am right, mikey r.   

Ever hear of the New Orleans Levy Board?  And entire local bureaucracy devoted to nothing but the New Orleans Levies.  Hence the name, New Orleans Levy Board.  Google &#039;em up sometime if you want to learn something.   

It would appear that you, sir, are the fraud.  The Intercoastal Waterway has nothing to do with the levies in New Orleans, nor vice-versa.  The levies in Louisiana are locally controlled.</description>

My fave is : &quot;is a fat dog heavy?&quot;  But yours works as well.</description>
