Bush Fiddled While New Orleans Drowned
It was known Monday morning that a flood was in progress. That New Orleans was dying. And Bush sat on his lazy, pampered, spoiled, rich boy ass. I hope that people who voted for Bush realize that they put this country in the hands of a dangerous idot. This must be a proud moment for Republicans everywhere.
My Mom (a Republican and a Texan) replied to an email about Bush's response to this disaster by saying that he must be losing his mind. Ummm ... no. This is the same idiot who sat reading a book about a goat while our country was under attack. Same idiot, different disaster.

Crime and Punishment
After some pondering, I've finally determined an appropriate punishment for Bush. Impeachment is for lying, corruption and blowjobs. What we need is something with a little more impact. Something with a military influence, since failure as a commander in the face of grave danger is the crux of the matter.
I've got one word: keelhaul.
We need to have the ghost of Jean Lafite emerge on a corsair from the coastal bayous, sieze the preznit by the scruff of his neck, give the smirking moron a summary court marshall on deck, and keelhaul the heartless bastard over a hull crusted with 200 years of barnacles..
[Note: Ghost Pirates are imaginary entities and do not constitute an actual threat to any elected officials -- smirking fucktards or otherwise.]
I'm Speechless, But Steve Rants So I Don't Have To.
To Do List
- Once Mandy checks in, send her a large check to help with immediate expenses.
- Set aside vacation time to go to New Orleans, at the appropriate time, to help in person. I was thinking today that it would be nice to go there Thanksgiving week and fry up a bunch of turkeys. But who knows what NO is going to look like in three months.
- Advocate in whatever forms I can think of a) the return of the National Guard to the US and b) the impeachment of George W. Bush.
