Ramblings

I can't believe the Republicans are "concerned" that Obama's recovery plan might add too much money to the national debt. Where were they when Bush turned a $267 billion surplus into a $1.2 trillion deficit; the largest deficit in the history of the United States? We didn't hear a peep out of them then.

I don't know what infuriates me more, Cheney defending kidnapping and torture, or Bush defending the Hurricane Katrina response. Both of them are pathetic. Is there really anyone in the world who believes Cheney when he says that waterboarding is not torture, and that it was only used three times by our agents? I think he meant to say three hundred times, or maybe three thousand times. We should try it on him and see if he still thinks it's not torture.

Bush seems to have forgotten all of those poor black people outside of the New Orleans Convention Center after the hurricane literally dying of thirst in the heat. I still think if they had been white, there would have been National Guard helicopters bumping into each other trying to deliver water to them.

I have a poster on my cubicle at work of a flooded New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. It's been there for years, and every now and then someone asks me when I'm going to take it down. My answer has always been, "when Bush and Cheney are gone and we can start cleaning up the disaster they left behind." It's hard to believe that day is almost here!
