The mayor of New Orleans was asked this morning to respond to the suggestion that the reason assistance has not gotten to his city timely is because it was not asked for through the proper channels.
“You’ve got to be kidding me. You think the folks in New York had to ask for help through proper channels before they got help on 9/11? This is worse than 9/11.”
I mentioned…
Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert (R-Illinois), and a conservative columnist from Connecticut, suggested today that New Orleans was not worth rebuilding, suggesting: “,if the people of New Orleans and other low-lying areas insist on living in harm’s way, they ought to accept responsibility for what happens to them and their property.”
Better yet, why stop there.
Shame on the…
Picture Uncle Rupert shaking in his kangaroo skin boots. What can I say, he’s afraid of me.
Personally, I think he’s one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse… but that’s just me.
Well, now that we’ve gotten the pleasantries out of the way, I’ll get to what I wanted to say today. In my humble opinion, the FNN is generally full of crap. You might think…
First, an introduction… what brought me to this point? I know that’s a loaded question, try and keep your speculation to yourself.

While Bush would not rule out the use of force in Iran or Syria, he did claim there were differences to the situation in Iraq and Iran, “, for one thing, we’ve got a whole mess…
Ho hum. Another Super Bowl. Anyone who says it’s as big a thrill the third time around is either lying, or kidding themselves.
Now if I could just wake up.
Seeing as how I’ve done such a wonderful job of caffeine impulse control (curse my damn ingenuity), I’m desperate for some pick-me-up. I could ask one of my coworkers to sneak up on me at random times during the day to try and…
I have this dream where an anonymous Democratic candidate for president responds to his opponent’s charge that he’ll “raise your taxes.”
“Ladies and gentlement, my opponent would have you believe that, if I’m elected, I’m going to raise your taxes. Folks, it seems to me that somebody’s fallen off the wagon. As much as I hate to admit it, the…
Let’s start with the premise that people are stupid and work backwards from there. On my way to work I had a lot of time to think. That’s what happens when I ride my bike, lots of time to think. This morning I was playing the role of sore loser. Yes, I was thinking about politics again. A lot of ink has been used to discuss the “moral majority” and it’s role in last…
Did you hear the one about the Judge who embroidered the Ten Commandments to his robe? He said, “The Ten Commandments can help a judge know the difference between right and wrong.” Personally, I think they ought to wear shinny silk robes with their names embroidered on the back. Then, when they enter the courtroom the bailiff could introduce them in style, “He’s been…
