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.

Did you notice the plan is for no live audience? I guess they didn't think they could rely even on a screened audience in New Orleans.

Nice executive summary, saved me alot of time and vomit!! I owe ya one.

Hey we're pals. What are friends for? For about 20 minutes, we'll hear that crap, and how we'll have to come together as a nation, how he's responsible and how he'll make America work and whatever. Meanwhile, on OUR planet, taxes continue to go up on the working class, Property Taxes go up to cover the cost of illegals. Wages are going down, in order to get people to quit banking on the American Dream. Jobs are being shipped overseas at a record pace, and the best part, Gasoline prices are going down, but not down to where they could be.

I bet he tries to say the failings of his adminstration and his party are mostly society's fault. I've seen this talking point coming out of the bots more and more often as of late: "Hey, sure things are messed up, but it's everone's fault and we all need to pull together now." It's like they've given up on dodging the blame and the new goal is just to spread the blame as widely as possible.

Blaming a national malaise didn't do much good for Carter.

It's what I call "The Chernobyl Effect". In Russia, when Chernobyl melted down, and all that radioactive shit went everywhere, instead of destroying the contaminated food, they shipped it everywhere in Russia spreading it evenly across the country. That way, it didn't look like an isolated outbreak of birth defects.

I hope it doesn't help Bush either. Watch the spin that's been coming out lately however. A lot of it makes the following unsupported statement: "Sure we're in terrible shape, but most of it is the fault of Clinton/the liberals/the Democrats." It's as if they know Bush is going to hemmorage and they know that nothing can be done. It's as if the only hope the party has for crawling out of the crater is to mitigate the blame by roping in as many other parties as possible. "Sure, Bush is as fault, but so is everbody else (so you can't really blame Bush or the Republicans)."

But it's just not true that nothing can be done. Cheney could resign, to be replaced as VP by Giuliani or McCain. Then Bush could resign in six months.

#11. To: TommyTheMadArtist (#7)
Bush has almost six years in office, both the Senate and Congress on his side and a propaganda machine behind him that would be the envy of Hitler or Stalin. It's going to be really hard to blame Clinton for the explosion. I think the RNC is now looking for ways to take the heat off the party.
#12. To: crack monkey (#0)
If I want to see something like that,I'll just watch an old Tarzan movie.
#13. To: aristeides (#10)
That would work, but I don't see anyone pushing Bush and Rove into that admission of defeat. I see Bush, Rove and Cheney taking the country down in order to mask their mistakes, e.g., start a nuclear war in Iran to obfuscate the defeat in Iraq and the failure in the economy. These guys and their friends don't have to live with the consequences. They can move to Monaco and live out their years in comfort.

AOL Poll Check out the #s on this AOL poll How confident are you in President Bush?Not at all 59% Very 34% Somewhat 7% Does Bush share your priorities for the country? No 63% Yes 37% How would you rate his handling of the Katrina crisis? Poor 56% Good 19% Excellent 15% Fair 10%
#18. To: Zipporah (#17)
See aristiedies post #10 above. We might actually see something like this happen. It certainly would be a good thing for the country. But somehow I don't see Bush and Rove going quietly.
#19. To: Zipporah (#17)
I just heard that Bush is planning to spend over 300 billion dollars to rebuild New Orleans. Supposedly this is what he is going to announce tonight. This is more than was spent on Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on terror combined.
#20. To: Zipporah (#17)
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. I am pretty sure the figure is correct. It comes from a reliable source.
#21. To: crack monkey, Zipporah (#20)

Hey, Meester,wanna meet my seester?
#22. To: Flintlock (#21)
It's about $750,000 for every boog bumped from the projects by the hurricane. It's a complete budget buster. He won't raise taxes, and he probably can't. The sudden bite needed to fund this would be widely felt and deadly. I think he'll just sell out the economy.
#23. To: Flintlock (#21)
It would be a lot cheaper to just give every displaced hurricane survivor $350,000 to start over.

WHAT IN THE FUCK???? Okay, here's the break down. Bush has spent a TRILLION dollars on destruction, and reconstruction projects AROUND THE FUCKING WORLD. Afghanistan, Iran, The Big Tsunami, 9-11, And now Katrina. That's a TRILLION FUCKING DOLLARS THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY. A TRILLION DOLLARS. That's not even counting the Trillion or so dollars we've given to Israel.
| So many morons, so few bullets. |
#26. To: crack monkey (#22)
They're going to start reissuing 30yr bonds in a few months, and he already has the money spent. All the suckers with interest only mortgages are going to be wearing it soon.
It's a complete budget buster. He won't raise taxes, and he probably can't.

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...

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.

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%.

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.

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]
