Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
-- Louis D. Brandeis

Hurricane? What hurricane?

President George W. Bush joins Arizona Senator John McCain in a small celebration of McCain's 69th birthday Monday, Aug. 29, 2005, after the President's arrival at Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix. The President later spoke about Medicare to 400 guests at the Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort and Country Club in nearby El Mirage. White House photo by Paul Morse

Come on, W!  This is how politicians lose their jobs (not that it matters much for a lame duck) - but people are far more likely to overlook, say, an Iraqi invasion based on lies and executed shamefully, than a politican who fails to clean up after a natural disaster.  Hell, the mayor of Chicago lost an election because the streets weren't plowed fast enough one Winter.  Is it my disdain for Shrub clouding my judgment, or does it seem that no matter what disaster befalls the American people, his constituency, he cleaves to whatever he was doing with single-minded purpose - like a runaway freight train?  On 9/11, he didn't stop reading My Pet Goat after he was informed of the attack, and it took him days to actually go to NYC, allowing that horrible, little man Giuliani to catpure the national stage simply by showing up and acting like he was in charge.  Go tour Louisiana and Mississippi, you goddamn doofus!  Send however many members of the armed forces you can spare.  (I know, I know).  How fucking inconvenient for you that this would happen on your vacation - your 340th day of paid vacation in just under 5 years - almost a whole year's worth of vacation?  Jesus, fucking christ!  How goddamn painfully obvious is it that you don't even run this country? 

Worst President ever!

So true. I really enjoyed this entry in particular. It couldn't have been said better.

was all stream of consciousness, which is why i kind of leap around; it probably could have been said better - this was just raw emotion; i came close to just banging my fists on the keyboard for a few minutes, but ended up with this, which is slightly better ;)

thanks :)
