This person either is not paying attention, or is also being intellectual dishonest so the other person does not have to admit they were wrong.

I usually don't pay much attention. However, in tribute to your intellectual honesty and the logical rigor of your posts, I'll fall back on my macro response:

Fuck you.:mad:

To be fair, it's not like he went directly from drafting wills to heading FEMA. He did get several years experience working on incident response planning with the administration before getting the FEMA job. Nice to know, however, that W took incident response planning in the wake of 9/11 so seriously he put a horse lawyer on it.

And there aren't a whole lot of agencies where horse lawyers who want to do some public service can fit right in and start to make an important contribution. W was kind of in a bind.

Thank you. This helps. Now I just need the decoder. Mr Venn = B? Spanky, could you go through those equations again for me?

2. I can imagine. For an delusional, egomaniacally self-assured drip like you, any joke other than one spoon fed into that literal little head of yours has got to be very confusing.

You - or for that matter, me - calling anyone an egomaniac is funny.

Don't you have house guests to attend to and an Irving book to read?

No, it doesn't, but as Slave is my witness, the current federal government has been spending money like drunken sailors. I thought we all knew this.

On this one, I got your back, Dino.

If I thought you were correct that those areas are the source of the increased spending, I would tend to agree. But what about the new drug benefit? That was a handout to pharma.

It's time to go home--you can research where the spending increases are. But a quick look at the 2005 proposal--very quick--had low single digits in all discretionary spending except for those two categories.

To be fair, drug benefit is mandatory, I think, as part of medicaid. So that might be a chunk too. But it's not porkbarrel in the traditional sense.

Sometimes on the boards you may seem a little egotistical but you don't shine a candle to many other posters. In addition, in person you don't seem egotistical to me. Maybe you need to work on that.

Exactly. As long as they keep all the Southern Military Bases and close the ones up in those traitorous Yankee states.

Whiny liberal pussies at Moveon.org - now they want your rooms too!

Just received this email from a friend - liberal pussies!

Dear MoveOn member,

Hurricane Katrina's toll on communities, homes and lives has devastated the nation. Now victims must face the daunting question of where to go next—and we can help.

Tens of thousands of newly homeless families are being bused to a stadium in Houston, where they may wait for weeks or months. At least 80,000 are competing for area shelters, and countless more are in motels, cars, or wherever they can stay out of the elements. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Red Cross are scrambling to find shelter for the displaced.

This morning, we've launched an emergency national housing drive to connect your empty beds with hurricane victims who desperately need a place to wait out the storm. You can post your offer of housing (a spare room, extra bed, even a decent couch) and search for available housing online at:

http://www.hurricanehousing.org

Housing is most urgently needed within reasonable driving distance (about 300 miles) of the affected areas in the Southeast, especially New Orleans.

Please forward this message to anyone you know in the region who might be able to help.

But no matter where you live, your housing could still make a world of difference to a person or family in need, so please offer what you can.

The process is simple:

You can sign up to become a host by posting a description of whatever housing you have available, along with contact information. You can change or remove your offer at any time.

Hurricane victims, local and national relief organizations, friends and relatives can search the site for housing. We'll do everything we can to get your offers where they are needed most. Many shelters actually already have Internet access, but folks without 'net access can still make use of the site through case workers and family members.

Hurricane victims or relief agencies will contact hosts and together decide if it's a good match and make the necessary travel arrangements. The host's address is not released until a particular match is agreed on.

If hosting doesn't work for you, please consider donating to the Red Cross to help with the enormous tasks of rescue and recovery. You can give online at:

http://www.moveon.org/r?r=859

As progressives, we share a core belief that we are all in this together, and today is an important chance to put that idea to work. There are thousands of families who have just lost everything and need a place to stay dry. Let's do what we can to help.

http://www.hurricanehousing.org

Thanks for being there when it matters most.

It's good to see Slave sticking up for his boy, but keep up this kind of shit and we're going to think you're one of those girly-men who have to keep their mouth shut (yeh, right) in the Army.

And about this "Slave" name. Boy, I hope this is not one of thos tongue-in-cheek ways of impugning the good Planters of the south and suggesting there's something wrong with the institution?

Stop peering behind my curtain, Dorothy.

I'm supposed to be a "megalomanica" (or whatever that dolt likes to call me)
