The Iowa disaster has been going on for days and Bush is going to wait until Thursday to survey the scene? What in God's name is he doing right now that prevents him from showing up at this economic, human and environmental disaster? Just more callousness from the Bush junta.

And now Mississippi may have massive flooding problems of its own. Fortunately for the GOP, it appears that its policy of infrastructural neglect wasn't the cause here, just a one in 500 years weather event.

Meanwhile, Bush cronies KBR still raping the treasury and they even got a government official who tried to stave some of this theft off fired.

And even as KBR is hindering our effort in Iraq, the Taliban appears poised for an offensive on the outskirts of Kandahar. Now what was it Laura Bush, who is looking so empty eyed these days she might as well be following a nutty religious cult, saif that things were going oh so peachy in a region we should have taken care of first before even considering any action elsewhere. But that makes too much sense and Turbo has none.

I don't know why I have to do this, but it bears reminding you that with all the talk of a possible strike against Iran, that also comes complete with Russians because the Putin regime has extensive dealings with the Persians and Russia has traditionally considered Iran within its sphere of influence. But you will hear nothing about that in the mainstream media because they are too busy being Bush"s pissboys.

Government corruption got a big thumbs up from an appeals court when a former Republican official's conviction in the Jack Abramoff case was set aside on a technicality. Where is the GOP outrage over this judge subverting a jury's decision? *lol

It's deja vu! Stagflation during a Republican administration!

On the other side of the aisle, a former Democratic state legislator and church pastor was convicted of fraud. I thought that being explosed to the good book was supposed to make people refrain from stuff like this. I am shocked *lol.

Then you had a case of cronyism in Baltimore, where mayor Sheila Dixon, an African-American Obama supporter, btw, is being investigated by the feds for possible illegal use of city money. So corruption just isn't for Republicans anymore.

You gotta love Texas. Or not.

The business media cracks me up sometimes. In this piece, they slam CNN host Lou Dobbs for "scaremongering" on the salmonella tomato issue after he raked Bush and his FDA over the coals for helping to make it possible. However, even though this outfit complains about what Dobbs said, they stop short of propounding that his statements were untrue. Plus this tends to back Dobbs up.

Nice try guys.
