I'm scheming for fast, cheap mass production of red, white and blue "Bring the Guard Home" signs. Poster boards, stencil, cans of paint?
Inspiration here.
Letter to Boxer
I have friends in the Treme district of New Orleans, the oldest urban black neighborhood in the US. They did not deserve to be abandoned by FEMA and their president.
I want you to do four things for me:
1) Make sure the recovery and restoration of New Orleans are funded and managed in a humane manner.
2) Investigate why FEMA failed. Name names. I don't care if the Republican majority won't let you investigate. Screw em! Asking permission is not an option. Rent a hall at a hotel, and take testimony!
3) Bring the Guard Home. Now.
4) Impeach and convict Bush.
That will do for starters.
cheers,

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.
