New Orleans Floods, Bush Imitates a Flounder |
New Orleans is now a lake and in a sad reprise of his behavior during
9/11, Bush is flopping around like a flounder. In his trademark
mangled English, he blathered, "The devastation that I saw was very
emotional..."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4204754.stm
Yeah that really gets it done. Meanwhile looting is rampant, people
are starving and dehydrating, corpses are lying around, people need
rescue. Instead of getting behind the wheel, Bush did exactly what he
did on 9/11 - continued pushing his political agenda until his brain
finally caught up with the fact that here is a massive tragedy.
The best he could immediately offer was that we pray! Like prayer ever
fixed anything. His lassitude has been so pronoucned that even the
right-wing press is finally forced to address his incompetence:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4204292.stm
Ten days from now is the fourth anniversary of 9/11. That means we've
had four years to prepare our major cities to mitigate massive tragedy
- to try and reap valuable benefits from the awful lesson we were
taught that day. Yet here we are, a massive tragedy biting our *****,
and the nation is wallowing around helplessly cluelessly.
What has Bush and his administration been doing for those four years?
Apart from instigating the slaughter of thousands of innocent Iraqis,
that is, and and apart from trying to steal people's social security?
Well, evidently nothing. He's as organized in helping New Orleans as
he was in planning his private war, and with our military stretched
almost literally to breaking point, he's going to have a hard time
coming up with people to help his own people out.

Too bad bush was more worried about invading other countries for no
reason instead of actually doing anything to protect the country.
But he did curtail his vacation a few hours early. And he asked Americans
to conserve fuel (even as he prepares for a Friday excursion back to the
disaster area which will include riding in a fuel-sucking helicopter, then
a fuel-gulping 747, then a gas-guzzling limo escorded by an army of
gas-guzzling Suburbans and other vehicles (which are all flown in by more
jet aircraft). Then there's the several tons of people who will be
escorting, guarding, primping, filming, brown-nosing, advising, feeding,
and otherwise servicing the Chimp without doing much more along the coast
than breathing our air. Chimp will, of course, walk around trying to seem
purposeful and confident, knowledgable and sympathetic. He knows how to
play this act, since he did it for Pensacola last year. But we didn't need
speeches or sympathy.
Here's an idea for Chimp: Load all those fucking cars and planes with
water, food, clothing, toothbrushes, soap, towels, medical sundries,
anything that will make a difference--or stay the ***** out.

Bush has been totally clueless throughout this whole affair (why am I
not surprised by this? Bush's knee-jerk response in any given
situation is "OIL!!!").
His response to $3/gal gas (or $5/gal if you live in Atlanta,
apparently) is to free-up some strategic oil reserve, but he cluelessly
doesn't appear to grasp that there is no huge oil shortage, there's a
gas shortage, and the reason for it is that demand outstrips US
capacity to refine. Pouring oil on the water isn't going to help,
especially not with the Lousiana coastal area out of the refining
equation for the next month or two.
I guess Bush thinks we can just fill our gas tanks with oil, and off we
go. His recent "energy" bill didn't do diddly squat to address our
overdependence on oil because he's such a spineless weasel.

Gee, Budikka, you're stupid. Stupid stupid stupid. You're such a stupid
***** you didn't even listen to what he did about the refining situation.
Not that there's much that he *could* do short term.
And anyway, why are you dumbass liberals crying about the price of
gasoline? It's your stupid politics that brought us to this position,
what with resisting the building of refineries and the stupid insistence
on multiple fuel blends for every little jurisdiction.
I guess Bush thinks we can just fill our gas tanks with oil, and off

coming up with people to help his own people out.

Aw, Bush has been a busy little beaver. He had to figure out
how to reroute the money meant to help repair New Orlean's
levees (which N.O. has been literally begging for for years) to
his phony little war. Bush truly looks down on Americans, but
his puppeteers are organized - in one way or another.

fixed anything. His lassitude has been so pronoucned that even the
right-wing press is finally forced to address his incompetence:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4204292.stm
Ten days from now is the fourth anniversary of 9/11. That means we've
had four years to prepare our major cities to mitigate massive tragedy
- to try and reap valuable benefits from the awful lesson we were
taught that day. Yet here we are, a massive tragedy biting our *****,
and the nation is wallowing around helplessly cluelessly.
What has Bush and his administration been doing for those four years?
Apart from instigating the slaughter of thousands of innocent Iraqis,
that is, and and apart from trying to steal people's social security?
Well, evidently nothing. He's as organized in helping New Orleans as
he was in planning his private war, and with our military stretched
almost literally to breaking point, he's going to have a hard time
coming up with people to help his own people out.

New Orleans is now a lake and in a sad reprise of his behavior during
9/11, Bush is flopping around like a flounder. In his trademark
mangled English, he blathered, "The devastation that I saw was very
emotional..."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4204754.stm
Yeah that really gets it done. Meanwhile looting is rampant, people
are starving and dehydrating, corpses are lying around, people need
rescue. Instead of getting behind the wheel, Bush did exactly what he
did on 9/11 - continued pushing his political agenda until his brain
finally caught up with the fact that here is a massive tragedy.
The best he could immediately offer was that we pray! Like prayer ever
fixed anything.
<respectfully snipped>
Mr. Davis, would you please explain to the members (and visitors) to this
NG, what praying, 'to God for the victims,' is supposed to do? Is it to make
them feel better that they're dead? Pssssst, they're dead. Prayers aren't
going
to make them feel better. Are you asking people to pray to an imaginary
being
so that their loved ones will feel better by thinking that this imaginary
being is
going to send their dead to an imaginary place that seriously brainwashed
people
call 'heaven'? Is that it? Well, if God truly exists, he wanted them to die
the way
they died, or it was out of his hands, or he doesn't care one bit about the
death
and destruction caused by Katrina. In any event, like Budikka points out,
prayer
never fixed anything. At best a 'believer' would be praying to the wind. And
trust me, the wind could give a hoot. (And If I seem to be greatly
insensitive here,
just remember, it was, 'an act of God' that killed those people - not a lack
of
prayer.)

These religious cowards, liars and hypocrites haven't even begun yet to
try and answer the question as to why a god would let such evil befall
innocent human beings. They're too cowardly to face the fact that no
benign god would ever do such a thing. That pretty much leaves an evil
god or no god at all.
There's over 300 documented reasons why there's no god, of course. And
no valid evidence for a god has ever been presented.

One thing's for sure - God didn't cause or allow the storm. But look at the
massive outpouring of love and help for victims.

I'm going to agree with you for once. You're right. God *didn't* cause or
allow the storm.
That's because 'God' is an imaginary creature. Don't believe me? Just think
of all the
thousands of people that 'prayed' before, during, and after Katrina's
onslaught. Nothing
prevented anything. That's because there was no entity *to* instigate *or*
prevent any of
Katrina's death and destruction. Nothing. Nobody. Zilch.
Now this massive outpouring of love and help fot Katrina's victims you
mentioned came
from *people*! I didn't see any deity sobbing over the death and
destruction. I saw people
doing that. I didn't hear of any deity sending relief supplies and working
tirelessly to save
strangers. People did that. Or are you going to have the unmitigated gall to
say that, 'God'
has been behind all the noble stuff?
Remember the new 11th command: That we love one another as God loves us.
John
13:34
If you're going to cite passages from the bible, I think another passage is
more appropos:
'My God, My God, Why hast thou forsaken me? (Mk. 15:34)
Thank you, God.
No. Thank you, my dear figment of my imagination, you. (That is *really*
what you're saying.)
