Bush is speaking. Wonder if he'll mention Lott's beach house?
He did earlier, on CNN. Did you see the quote I posted?
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I just want to shake him until his teeth rattle.
And then I want to send him in, alone, to spend the night in the Superdome.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm so tired of being ashamed of our president. It's not just that he can't or won't solve important problems, it's that he doesn't even see that the problems exist.
Yep. And after seeing his speech a few minutes ago, the shame is ever-enduring.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
This is the quote CNN has on its front page from what Bush just said:
Bush in New Orleans: We have got a lot of work to do and it seems dark right now.
Can you believe that he is so inarticulate?

Silence means security silence means approval
The Saints home opener for the Giants has been moved to Giants Stadium.
Warwick Dunn has called out all the NFL players, except the Saints, to donate $5000 to hurricane relief. The Falcons have already committed over $260,000.
And now Deion Sanders is challenging all pro athletes to donate at least $1000.
Wish someone would challenge the GOP to do the same.

I'm so tired of being ashamed of our president.
And I'm ashamed to be an American, 'Cause we can't do anything. And I won't forget the bureaucrats Who couldn't stop the suffering And I'm sheepishly slouch down next to you and shake my head in shame Cause there ain't no doubt I hate Dubya God damn the USA!

Gah! Not only is foreign aid beneath the feds' interest, so is local domestic aid:
Even before the storm hit the Gulf Coast on Monday, [Mayor Daley of Chicago] said, the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications had contacted emergency response agencies in Illinois and Washington.
In the event of a disaster, the city offered to send 44 Chicago Fire Department rescue and medical personnel and their gear, more than 100 Chicago police officers, 140 Streets and Sanitation, 146 Public Health and 8 Human Services workers, and a fleet of vehicles including 29 trucks, two boats and a mobile clinic.
"So far FEMA has requested only one piece of equipment -- a tank truck to support the Illinois Emergency Response Team, which is already down there," Daley said. "The tank truck is on its way. We are awaiting further instructions from FEMA."

Sooner or later, local agencies are going to say "To hell with FEMA, we're going down there on our own recognizance."
