I'm just a big boggle myself these days. Shake me up and see how many words you can spell.
In unrelated news, isn't the phrase "BTK Killer" redundant?

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.

Um, yep. I think it's something like "with au jus."
Am I the only person who wants to know if Karl Rove was in the vicinity of the Rehnquist household today?
In a weird way, I'm bummed that this didn't happen before Bush's was up for re-election, so we could have seen Bush's ass handed to him on a platter.
Of course, all the conservative commentators would say that for Democrats to criticize Bush's response to the hurricane (and preparation beforehand) would only serve to embolden our hurricanic enemies.
Eh, they'll probably say that anyway.

If he was, we should behead the corpse of Rehnquist to be sure he won't come back as a vampire.
Libkitty and Kristen are me. Just when I think I am boogled out, I get reboggled.
John Breaux, the former Democratic Louisiana senator and close Bush ally, rejected the president's claim that nobody anticipated the failure of the city's levees, saying he talked to Bush about it last year.
Heh.
Latest Times-Picayune story: "New Orleans Left To The Dead and Dying."
The people that haven't been evacuated are the ones who are too sick and frail. In short, the people who should have been evacuated first, four days ago.
There's no doubt in my mind the death toll is going to be in the thousands. I don't think it'll get into the 10,000s, but I'm getting a sense of about 4,000 or 5,000.
The question is: how many died because of the complete failure of the federal response. And I'm thinking that more than half of the deaths could have been prevented. That they happened well after the hurricane. Certainly many because of the flooding itself, but so many many more because relief efforts were delayed and poorly coordinated.
Lotta dead people.
And how many deaths could have been prevented if there had been any thought as to how the poor and auto-less could evacuate? But this would be more of a local and/or state failing, I think.
Some good news:
