How many more must die before America finally wakes up to the fact that an incompetent bunch of nincompoops are running this country into the ground? What's it going to take for the American public to wake up and escape from the Bush cult? It's amazing that it takes personal human suffering for some Americans to realize this country has been taken for the ride of it's life by a bunch of greedy, power hungry, political wind bags hell bent on destruction!

For all those really interested in why "Katrina" caused so much damage: "the New Orleans district of the US Army Corps of Engineers absorbed a record $71.2 million reduction in federal funding. This was an epic reduction for one fiscal year….the Dolan Media news wire reported at the time that, 'The cuts mean major hurricane and flood protection projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms'. Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from a Category 5 hurricane has been shelved for now." And for this you can thank the Bush administration!

As I googled several different neoconservatives in an attempt to try to understand their harebrained philosophy, and I have come to the conclusion there is a better descriptor than "chickenhawks" for these guys! With careful deliberation, after reading several bios on many of these over-inflated egotistical wind bags, I have arrived at the name best suited to them and more descriptive of them -- Chickenshits! That's it in a nutshell. They are, without a doubt, the biggest bunch of chickenshits the world has ever had to endure. They believe themselves intellectually superior members of an elitist group who should rule the world! They believe their philosophy is the last word in governing the masses. They believe that lowly grunts should be the ones doing the actual fighting while they direct the battles tucked safely away in air-conditioned offices. Does the word duplicitous come to mind here? They're nothing but a bunch of lily-livered, yellow-bellied, CHICKENSHITS!

The incredulity of the presidential involvement in yesterday's events surrounding the disaster in New Orleans was surreal! After being reminded ad nauseum by a myriad of television reporters that George Bush cut his "vacation" short by 2 whole days to return to Washington to personally handle the disastrous aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we were then presented with video, apparently released by the White House -- on what has truly become the boob tube -- of the moron and those accompanying him on Air Force One intently peering out the windows of the plane looking down on the horror of New Orleans. Then we were subjected to the "speech" in which Bush profoundly told the nation, "The vast majority of New Orleans, Louisiana is underwater," as if this were breaking news (the only things missing from this latest "spot" produced for public consumption were a flack jacket and a bull horn)! It's obvious the Bushies were again caught with their pants down and are now trying to play catch up. The horror of it all is innocent people end up dying because this administration doesn't know what they're doing!
