Can anybody stand to listen to Bush sing for the bots this evening? He'll be on at 7:30. If nobody wants to listen in I will understand.

That speech sucked. But am I surprised? I think he rates a thirty percent approval. We should have a pool for when he gets there.
I missed it. I made it a point to return my Bush Loving Momma's phone call right when he started. She about had a fit! It was worth it.

One interesting comment on CBS after the speech stating that "we may never hear the words 'Social Security' from this administration again." I wonder how that's going to play on Wall Street, being as so many fund managers were banking on all of that sweet, sweet lucre flowing into their slush funds..er, that is to say, looking forward to carefully managing the retirement accounts of so many hardworking Americans...

LOL!! It was rather pathetic.. and now I'm trying to make myself ill .. watching Krauthammer and Brit Hume comment on the speech.
We can get a grant for running the forum. Everyone is a little bit Ihdian. We can all be Indians. Get a couple of million bucks and sit around posting all day. At least we'll be doing something. Most of the other people will just be making money vanish.

MSNBC announced tonight that Rove was going to be in charge of the rebuilding of New Orleans. Go figure that out.
But somehow I don't see Bush and Rove going quietly.

Naan is the number one tastiest bread. Oh, those indians, what did they eat, corn mash and potatoes? Chinese are racist for not having cheese in their recipes.
Does that include an all-you-can-eat Indian food and firewater buffet?

The AOL site that you had posted above.

Truer words. I love Indian food.

Just arrived in email: Official Announcement: The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from an Eagle to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed. Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that!

Bush has almost six years in office

I like Indian food unless it has curry, which is most of it. I love chicken vindaloo, even though I refuse to eat it more than once or twice a year. I'm funny that way, I like Greek food too, except olives. I like fish unless it tastes fishy. I'm off to buy paper mache so I can build a model of a dichotomy...

I'm really curious to see what the polls show over the next couple of days. If there is no bounce this "Mendoza Line" talk I've been hearing tonight might be true. Below 40% enough people are on to the guy that he can't bullshit his way out of a mess anymore. He becomes powerless and can't recover. Personally, I can't say one way or the other, but it will be very interesting to watch.

I love curry, but I can make myself sick on their bread. I also only venture in a couple of times a year. It's not a treat if you eat it every day.

Then what? Cheney? Sheesh, I dont know what's worse.

Could be. God shall not be mocked, what a man sows he shall reap. I suspect the same holds true for nations as well.
Maybe the hurricane WAS from God

He could just hang fire in place. As his influence evaporates his enemies will be better equipped to press their attackes. He could spend the rest of his term defending himself for the actions he took during his first term. The press has already turned against him. Bush has had the longest press honymoon in history and it's over. His propaganda engine is winding down as well. The last I heard Fox News viewership was off 48%. Rush and Hannity were down about 25%.
Then what? Cheney? Sheesh, I dont know what's worse.

Some people were saying the hurricane was sent by God for punishment to the people of NO for their sins.. which I'm sorry I think is beyond sick..not the sins of NO but considering the amount of blood thats on the hands of our leaders ..ya just never know...

Assuming 300,000,000 men women and children in the US (good assumption, I think), this means 300X10^9/300^6 = 100,000 dollars per person in the US, or $400,000 bucks per family of four. Buy stock in Halliburton, and CACI. The Zionists are going to be out luck for a few months. My math seems out of wack, but I keep comming up with the same answers, so I am pinging Anxeolith for support as numbers are his game. Crack, if I have mis spelled his name, could you correct?? TIA. I have always roughly figured one billion dollars ment about $three / capita for the US. So my calculation seem roughly correct.
If this 300 billion figure is true, then it's the largest reconstruction project in the history of the world. Percentage wise, it is on par with the New Deal programs of the 1930s. It sounds like Bush is (1) trying to buy votes, and (2) trying to keep the contruction industry alive through the housing crash.
#84. To: All (#83)
Where the hell is the money going to come from? That's $1,000 from every man, woman and child in the country. Should have just asked you!!!

CORRECTION BY TOM007 - NOT $100,000/captia. Flintlock is correct - $1000.00/captia. Four thousand dollars for every family of four. Hope everyone budgeted for the the winter natural gas costs of $12/mm btu!! (Last year it was about $4.5) Thank God for the Bush administration!!!!!! And add the current and recurring costs of the ill concieved war in Iraq.......................... I'm buying dry cat food now while it's cheap for my retirement plan/
#86. To: TommyTheMadArtist (#25)
But that is the trillion God wanted. See, she was a little short this month, ya know with the rent of the universe, and that Black Hole in MS-52, just keeps eating money.
That's not even counting the Trillion or so dollars we've given to Israel.

If we can somehow persuade the Democrats that their chances of retaking Congress in '06 rest on their making an issue of term limits, we might end up getting term limits.

For Bush to ask labor unions to help, is like Hitler asking synagogues.
And I challenge existing organizations -- churches, Scout troops, or labor union locals to get in touch with their counterparts in Mississippi, Louisiana or Alabama and learn what they can do to help. [Bush said]
I've already said too much.

Since it's Jackson Square, I imagine a statue of somebody on horseback would be of Andrew Jackson, the commander at the Battle of New Orleans.
