It's gonna just be fun to sit back and watch this go on. With The Mayberry Machiavelli running the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast, you have to wonder how well he'll be able to do it from a prison cell, unless of course he gets a Preznitial Pardon (!). The republicans are continuing apace with their usual destruction of America...

"Some new measures are already taking shape. In the past week, the Bush administration has suspended some union-friendly rules that require federal contractors pay prevailing wages, moved to ease tariffs on Canadian lumber, and allowed more foreign sugar imports to calm rising sugar prices. Just yesterday, it waived some affirmative-action rules for employers with federal contracts in the Gulf region.

"Now, Republicans are working on legislation that would limit victims' right to sue, offer vouchers for displaced school children, lift some environment restrictions on new refineries and create tax-advantaged enterprise zones to maximize private-sector participation in recovery and reconstruction."

(emphasis added) Gee, do we need to know much more than that? So let's see, when you can't find a job, you can't bring litigation, and you can't get your kids educated what's that all about? Oh yeah, compassionate conservatism.

Machiavelli? Hell, the Cokesnorter-in-Chief couldn't even spell that.

Since the Iraqis were all out of flowers and chocolates, (WMDs, too) but seemed to have lots of AKs and explosives, the great Corporate State experiment on the Tigris has failed.

The Invisible Cloud Being fortunately provided a second opportunity on the Gulf Coast.

This is greed and insanity in overdrive. Amerika needs to realize that the rethugs are the party for the rich. And when they're saying they're going to help the poor, you can bet there is something in it for their rich friends.

It's called "slavery". It's also called, "getting recruits for the U.S. Army". You can bet that the next wave of military "assistance" for the Gulf Coast region is going to be army recruiters knocking on the door of every shelter and every ruined home looking for warm bodies to ship out to the Arabian deserts...
