The blundering Bush League and its destructive pratfalls, and lies; lies, lies, lies, lies, and more lies.
My god, there are still people like Brooks - a friend, by the way - who feel it necessary to defend what is surely the most frequently caught liar ("yellow cake uranium," "weapons of mass destruction," "everythings as planned in Iraq," etc. etc., etc.) ever to be President of the United States.
"No one could have expected this." That's in the face of literally hundreds who have been saying this would happen, and for literally decades. I personally wrote an e-mail to Chertof and the governor of Louisiana (to be hones, it came back for wrong address) two days before, after telling my friends here at the Half Price Bookstore, "This is gonna be really bad. The dikes (that's what we call them back in Iowa where I used to work on the things before every flood) are going to go. Half (I was wrong; it was more) the city will be under water."
If that weren't enough, the same government who is charged with establishing justice, insuring domestic tranquility, providing for the common defense, promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty acted like a spastic drunk once they woke from their continual stupor. HOW MANY TIMES DOES A SENTRY HAVE TO FALL ASLEEP OR BE DRUNK ON DUTY BEFORE WE REPLACE HIM? People, Montaigne said, always have the government they deserve.
Ruby Ridge, Waco, Murrah, the World Trade Center, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now, New Orleans; the gestapo we call INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, and an internal revenue system that even directors of the IRS have been calling "insane" and a "national disgrace" for DECADES. With corporations leaving in droves, almost nothing made in the U.S. anymore, aliens being exploited by the millions, and real inflation and prices twenty to thirty times what they were just after the war, we'll hear, "well, gee, nobody could have foreseen this" when the economic end comes.
Then there's the border with Mexico, too. When the back-pack nuke - or worse - goes off in San Antonio, LA, or another, we'll have Bush, Chertof and the rest on television, telling us "no one could have anticipated such a dastardly thing." YOU DON'T CALL AN ADMINISTRATION WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD A FENCE INCOMPETENT?
From now on, "America," you DESERVE whatever happens to you.
P.S. Why, knowing that a city vulnerable as was New Orleans was about to be hit by a force five hurricane, would you wait until after the storm had done what you knew was going to happen to mobilize the national guard and federal militaries? Why wouldn't relief ships and convoys be on the way?
INCOMPETENCE. I-N-C-O-M-P-E-T-E-N-C-E. Bush League. Stunned, stolid, stupidity.
P.P.S. Now, as if there were any doubt about what I say here being correct and justified, comes the news that the U.S.S. Bataan, a hsopital ship with six operating rooms, hundred of hospital beds, and the ability to make 100,000 gallons of fresh water a day, has been sitting idle off the devastated Gulf Coast. It's still there. Is that a "high crime and misdemeanor?"
