"didn't know"
 

Spokes-people from Washington (incuding the president) say they
"didn't know" until today. Sheesh. Don't they watch TV????? The
rest of the country had it figured out days ago.

The Bush administration are slow learners. While millions of people all
around the world told the Bushites that invading Iraq was a bad idea,
Bush referred to them as a small focus group! Now, resources that were
deployed to Iraq are not available to help with the hurricane relief
effort. That sucks, but then so does the fact that Louisiana and
Mississippi voted for Bush in the 2004, so it seems obvious that they
got what they voted for, which also sucks, but hey, one has to deal with
the consequences of one's actions.

That was the FEMA director, who said he didn't know about the
convention center, after it had already been in the news for a good
full day. Something fishy is going on, as all the politicians seem to
be spending more energy in CYA mode than operational mode.

But if there is any justice in this world, only for a little more than a
year. Because if the Deomcratic party gets its head out its ass and
manages to re-take congress you can bet the impeachment hearings will
start soon thereafter.

I sure didn't *know* until you told me! Dang, is that what that square box

Yeah, it's been miserable. All the tears--the victims, the news media and
mine.
