...It is all Bush's fault -- the hurricane, loss of power, destruction of property, ect
Rule 2: Shoot looters
My dear Ms. Winslow, if the end of the world came there would be no National Guard comfort stations and you, most likely, would already have been murdered by marauding bandits. Get down on your knees and thank God that you live in the most prosperous, and generous nation on the face of the Earth. We exist on this planet only by temporary geologic and meteorologic dispensation through the grace of God.
If I sound insensitive, it's not due to inexperience with hurricanes. We were without power and running water for 12 days in 1983 after Hurricane Alicia passed over our community. Suck in your gut, square your shoulders, help your neighbors and be thankful you and your family are still alive to miss these conveniences of life.
That's a darn shame. Without power, those 800,000 people won't be able to turn on their TVs and see John Kerry's tireless efforts to relieve the hurricane victims by getting his hair cut in Oregon and going windsurfing.
Here's a novel concept John - if you really care, why not have Teresa peel off a few bucks and spring for a free case of Ketchup to give to the needy or something?
"If your brother calls you because his house was just swept away in a hurricane, you tell him HOPE IS ON THE WAY!!!"
A big corporate client says they are without power in Orlando, and expect a week to get power back. Why has this not been reported on the national news? It's all about the coast.
