2. But that's all anyone high up in a Bush Administration can do

It's the PR Presidency.

They are congenitally unable to formulate policy or plans or even properly execute ones formed by someone else.

That's assuming they even want to.

3. Anyone have an address for the Mayor. I have decided that my
donation will go directly to him. He cares, more than Pat Robertson.

Follow the instructions to download the interview. Slow, if you're on dial up, but well worth it.

14. Definitely wait for it.
Or try saving it to disc, then playing it. That may be faster. I think it took me nearly half an hour to download.

It is definitely worth hearing.

13. I have a feeling
that Mr. FUBAR won't keep his scheduled appointment in NOLA today.
Poisonous gases and explosions and all. And he didn't bring his FUCKING Bicycle.
