That's great! Oh, I hear the Dems have pretty much locked up the White House for another term on The West Wing. Can anyone here confirm?

Certainly some of my posts are partisanly rhetorical and the parodies are what they appear to be. Other than that if you have followed my posts I don't think my political philosophy is that far outside of the fiscal conservative/libertarian wing of the republican party, other than my philosophy about abortion is no longer libertarian albeit I am not against abortion , just for more limits, and since 9/11 I am more of an imperialist than I was before 9/11 (but probably equally imperialist as I was during Reagan's presidency through the fall of the iron curtain). I am usually directly in sync with views of the WSJ Editorial board.

I am not sure that is either warped or insincere.

I'm not defensive. I thought and stand by my position that it was an arrogant and off putting thing to say, i.e. call someoen who did not give to your designated charity a chump. If someone solicited me in person for money and said, if you don't give to my cause you are a chump, I would definitely opt for chumpdom. With that in mind I was offering up that if your goal is greater participation in your cause (included from people who give to other worthy causes of their designation), you may want to re-phrase your pitch.

He already said publicly that the initial performance was unacceptable. Who knows what the distress of being in the presence of a shrill and shreiking harpy like Pelosi would make him say and as such it has no bearing.

When is someone going to call for Nagin to resign? Or do you all still withhold criticism of his monumental failure?

56% have no negative opinion. Give that 40% of the country disagree with how the guy wipes his ass that is extraordinary. Plus, both here and in real life, the Dem's line has been the handling of the hurricane kills Bush in the public eye. I've have said it will be seen as an unavoidable tragedy, and the only the only politcal bump would come against the Dems if they try to make it an issue. So far I'm right on the first half. We'll see about the second half in next year's elections, because i know the Dems are too ignorant to shut the fuck up with the blaming.

This is a question, not an accusation, but do you ever refer to male politicians as "shrill and shrieking harpies"? (I'm sure there are some out there who fit that bill.)

No, but I would accept a lifting of the sanction, iykwimaittyd.

Nagin, Blanco, Bush and Cheney ought to all resign.

Now when will you agree, and call for Bush's resignation.

NUTS!


Thanks, it's good to be back to normal.

I thought the hurricane took care of any need for Nagin's resignation. If a city has no residents does it require a Mayor?

No, I actually punted on that trip this year. But I have been to the peach festival. Good times. I vacationed in Penticton for 7 consecutive years. That's when I was made an honourary citisen. Those were the days.

I have given money here and there, and always do it anonymously. There's nothing wrong int talking about what you give to get others to do so, but I find it pointless for you to try to “out” Hank as selfish. I don’t give a shit whether Hank gives. Its his business. Leave the guy alone.

Give and talk about it all you like. But stop trying to arm twist or shame. It creeps me out.

ETA: And you ought to know Hank is fucking with you. I mean, come on... he’s drowning you on a long line here.

I disagree, and, fortunately, so does the Administration.

I watched Nagin speak for the past week now. He’s no Bush, but he’s awful. Blanco and the two senators are the only ones who appear to have any business governing anything larger than a church fair. The local politicos can’t even speak the King’s Fucking English, Brown from FEMA just muddles his way through canned excuses and Chertoff has major “Dog-in-headlights” paranoid eyes going. Where’s Cheney? He doesn’t give half a shit, but at least it’d be nice to see someone with a brain...
