I'm not a liberal, I'm just paying attention
No, I won't blame Bush for the hurricane. But the Right, as embodied by Limbaugh, Frist, Bush, Hastert, DeLay, would move heaven and earth to save the life of one White Woman in Florida to combat the very idea of euthanasia (which technically it was not). A woman that a decade earlier had lost her ability to so much as ask for help, much less have coherent thoughts about the quality of her own life. And they would sit on their ass and watch as tens of thousands of poor men, women, children, babies, and elderly bake in the New Orleans heat surrounded by water, sewage, gasoline and an abandoned city, now devoid of anyone with the means to have escaped ahead of the storm. Bush came away from his mega vacation one day early. Big whoop! The man in charge is not in charge at all.
I hate to be all choirboy on you, but let's all take a moment and do what we can for the poor folks on the Gulf Coast. Please donate to the Red Cross, or whatever.
On a lighter note, school starts tomorrow, and I've compiled a list of 86 fun summer memories. Feel free to reminisce with me, and add your own.
