Nightmare
It's one thing to read about something like this when the setting is somewhere in Asia or Africa.
But this is quite another.
Thousands of refugees from Hurricane Katrina boarded buses for Houston, but others quickly took their places at the filthy, teeming Superdome, which has been serving as the primary shelter. At the increasingly unsanitary convention center, crowds swelled to about 25,000 and desperate refugees clamored for food, water and attention while dead bodies, slumped in wheelchairs or wrapped in sheets, lay in their midst.

Careful, Jack. Your comments are drifting dangerously close to criticism. You don’t want to be seen as unpatriotic at a time like this, do you? Maybe the right-wing commentators should take a break from carrying water for the Bush administration and carry some to New Orleans. Then afterwards they can blame Katrina on Saddam, or whatever they come up with for the new version of the Big Lie. The problem with this administration is that it doesn’t govern; it spins. Well, guess what? Hurricanes spin a lot harder.

Oh Bill,
If only our country was run by a group like Potter, the commishes and the girls of Hawthorne.
The country would be as well off as Oregon.

Bill,
To get you out of this limited hellhole for such comments I offer, just as I would JA CK PE EK, blog posting (not merely comments) over at pdxnag.com/drupal/
You can have your own posts right there on the front page. I don't need much more than screamers so as to give the software a good test.
You just have to find the post where I say to post a comment asking for the opportunity to post blog entries.
Your wit would be useful, there.
Sorry, Jack, if I have misread your willingness to endure such comments.
