Now, according to Rush today, sen. mary landrieu (lower case for low woman) has introduced a bill asking for $250 BILLION to rebuild ALL of NO. She is completely ignoring the fact that we've already pouring big money (no telling how much at this date) plus the billions proposed by President Bush plus all the $$ and contributions and volunteers that have given their services and $$ to this mud hole. Oh, here I go....ranting too.

And the GOP senator was right there with her asking for the $$$$$$$

The Republican senato (Vittner?) and Bobby Jindall are on my lengthening list of useless people. In my opinion, the entire political class in Louisiana, on both sides of the aisle, are totally corrupt.

Just federalize the damn state and make Honore the Military Governor. Say it's for emergency purposes. Then arrest all of them.

I have had it. I am getting dangerously close to the "who cares?" way of thinking about Lousiana.

I am to the point that I wouldn't think twice about dynamiting the river levee and putting ALL of New Orleans under water.

Can you tell that like cake crumb, I HAVE HAD IT!!

I want
$250 BILLION!

You maybe right! Let's do the math.

The Louisiana Purchase describes the United States acquisition of more than 529,911,680 acres (2,144,476 km2) of territory from France in 1803 for $15 million (which, if adjusted for inflation, would equal approximately $193 million in 2005).
