Happy Birthday, billytea!
So maybe the president wasn't "tone deaf," as we've said before, in his first responses to Katrina. Maybe he's created an environment in which the only tones that are played for him are the ones he wants to hear.
So he isn't naturally stupid, he's created an environment that keeps him from getting information. Which leads to stupid responses. I find willfull and deliberate ignorance considerably worse than natural dimness. What's the L&O phrase they bandy about? "Depraved indifference"? I don't know if that's legally accurate, but is sure seems like an appropriate term.
I thought this was a good article about how Bush blew it.

Happy birthday, Billytea!
Wow, lot of birthdays clustered around here.
I had two birthday parties Saturday night, and another this coming Friday, too. People have lots of sex between Thanksgiving and Christmas?
ION, I just read some serious school-related scuttlebutt and I want to spread it far and wide, but I guess I shouldn't. It's killing me, though!
I'm pretty sure my mother arrived home from Japan the other day only three hours after she had left
I love the way this kind of stuff makes my head spin.
13 is the representation of ... hai? How do you spell that? in English?
I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean.

The end of August and most of September are rich with Buffistas dates. The Phoenix Board itself was 'born' on Spetember 17.
Um... this is one of the freakiest things I've read about Katrina - a Norwegian paper quotes a New Orleans doctor who says they "killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals."

January was an auspicious month for a lot of parents-of-Buffistas, or so it seems.
Wow. I can see the rationale, but I'd hate to be the one making that decision. I'd much prefer for any people I might kill to be healthy and richly deserving of the dirt nap.
Happy Birthday, Billytea and Polter-Cow!
In the "who's best to protect me" discussion, remember that should the assailant be a vampire the hockey players are far more likely to have wooden weapons and skates that can be used to decapitate.

I think what I mean is "life" in Hebrew? That people wear charms of around their necks? There's a number connected to that.
Or am I just crazy again?
