The filter on the site won’t allow posting of several words including Mr. Cheney’s first name or the name for a male chicken even when they are included in other words. You might want to look at your post for any “objectionable” words and try re-writing with alternate spellings. It also doesn’t like it if you include more than one link in your post.

Now it kicked me off saying I already posted the comment it won’t post for me! I will put it under the actual lol if it won’t go thru next.

That was the first part let’s see if it will do the second part. That’s the politically incorrect bit.

ok, once again. I hate to have to do this again.
I am embarrassed to admit that I ignorantly voted for both of the Bushes. Since then some friends have taught me about the real world. I am grateful to them for that.

Yep, I am being censored. It even kicked me off saying I was posting too fast.

Still will NOT post the comment on the third try. Must have been politically incorrect. Gonna try something if you guys don’t mind.

Uncle Dick was running the country and setting policy, ol’ George just got a lot richer by hanging around for eight years, I really think we need another American Revolution because clearly the folks running the goverment just don’t get it and they are clearly out of touch with reality, we need term limits in congress, they need to be on the same retirement system as the rest of the country, if they can’t make enough money in eight years to be filthy rich they clearly aren’t doing something right or don’t know what their doing and have no business being in politics, but the sad thing is the broken promises and the return of the old staus quo after being elected, look at the stimulas package,,,,,,

@slan: Only partly true about MS. Go to
Google maps, and take a tour. Only the
casino area/Biloxi has been rebuilt well.
A couple of MS villages (where there were
no casinos) remain entirely demolished.

On the other hand, muirnín, Bush did for governance what Michael Flatline did for step dancing – flushed traditional ideals down the loo in favour of his own skewed vision and played to the lowest common denominator. So it rather makes sense.

and as a final reply, a question.

Do they have to get a proctologist to confirm your eye colour? I’d have thought so, since your head is for far up you own arse… curious minds want to know…

By: Uncle Fester

Uncle Fester — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:22:08 +0000

and if Bush hadn’t screwed FEMA by putting his horsey buddy in charge, then it would have had more of a chance of NO being sorted with some speed, rather than the guy going on vacation as Katrina floods hit…

I’d say that was a ‘lost city’… If you’re going to have an Emergency service at federal level, give the job of running it to someone whose emergency experience goes a tad further than a thrown shoe…

Clinton did capture the WTC bombers, within a couple of weeks… the ‘warningss’ of Al Qaida activity were at the end of the Clinton admin and the intel was handed to the Bush admin who promptly did nothing.

Oh now wait just a minute. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is still in shambles. Had it not been for volunteer organizations, many people would still be in FEMA trailer hell. That we have a Republican governor made NO difference. People on the coast are still fighting insurance companies who refuse to pay up because the damage was caused by storm surge (flooding) and not the actual hurricane itself. Hurricane insurance does not, by default, cover flood damage. Interesting loophole, isn’t it? Haley Barbour fought like hell for everything Mississippi got. It wasn’t alot. Being Republican may not have hurt but it damn sure didn’t help.

Katrina and the aftermath was one massive clusterf*ck from start to finish. For the record, I’m a register independent who didn’t vote for Haley the first time but did the second time and I’m a raging liberal to boot.

OK, guess it’s down to me to call a spade a spade.

Mississippi: Republican politicians from the governor on down. Got lots of help.

New Orleans: Democratic mayor and governor, got fncked.

Administration overseeing it all: Under investigation for using the Attorney General’s office and federal prosecutions as an arm of the RNC.

What’s more, that’s not proper Irish dancing they’re doing, ‘cos they’re smiling! Irish dancing is VERY SERIOUS, people! Hands straight by the sides, face forward, back ramrod-straight, and above all NEVER smile – people might think you’re enjoying yourself!

(Did Irish dancing at school, wasn’t all that good at it, never got to the level where I could have the noisy, clunky shoes, but all these years later I’m not bitter, honest. . .)

Check that: The flooding that accompanies a
storm is covered, but, in the case of NO, the
flooding from Lake Pontchartrain was
considered to be “rising” water, not “storm”
water. A house with storm damage, but also
with “rising” water damage was typically
denied. The buck was passed to FEMA, and
we all know how well *that* went!

I find it very annoying that it is referred to as “riverdancing” in the post, and that no one seems to think it worth the time to correct. Riverdance is a dance company in case you forgot, and they perform IRISH DANCE, which Michael Flatley certainly didn’t invent. You’d think that a nation that stole and bastardized a holiday from the Irish could at least remember a few key points of their culture.

True that. Also, MS didnt’ have trouble with
insurance carriers backing out of covering
storm damage, because there wasn’t an
accompanying flood.
