Before Katrina hit New Orleans, Bush cut the budget of the Army Corps of Engineers for levee maintenance. So once again we have a disaster carefully engineered to cost billions which could have been prevented at a cost of millions.

The Bush cabal profits from suffering and death. They employ it to take control of resources, as Naomi Klein has demonstrated in her book. I keep thinking the book is called "Shock Economics", but that could be wrong.

The Iraq debacle is no mistake. Every move made by Bush generates crisis, catastrophe, and conflict on purpose. Cynical? Yes. But terribly acute.

Stanimal is ???

I hear cries for freedom elsewhere, while the US becomes less so. I hear support for free markets, then demanding a bailout due to incompetence.
I roll my eyes at those that accuse others being oppressed while the US has and still continues to the same and much worse. Laughing at pinheads who purchase and profit from those they curse.

Every time I return to visit I see a country I no longer recognize. A shredded Constitution, a spineless Congress ...

I wonder how them red state republicans

feel about their votes to back the Bu$h cabal now?

Every one of them who are now under water deserve what they voted for!

They should have listened to Buckshot Dick, and realize he meant these words to every American, not just democrats, of "Go F*%k Yourself".

Shock Doctrine

The book is called the "Shock Doctrine" and Klein presents the thesis of "disaster capitalism."

One note about people voting for Bush and "getting what they deserve." I don't yet know the the demographics of the current flooding, but Klein relates the now legendary remarks by New Orleans Republican Congressman Richard Baker to a group of lobbyists--"We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did."

Telling.
