Chimpy's Faith-Based Climate Control: "Pray there's no hurricanes."
Edited on Sat Apr-29-06 04:22 PM by Sparkly
"The lessons of Katrina are important," Bush said. "We've learned a lot here at the federal level. We're much more ready this time than we were the last time."

"Let's, first of all, pray there's no hurricanes," Bush said. "That would be, like, step one."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060429/ap_on_re_us/katrina_what_now

Actually, "step one" would be to listen to scientists about global climate change and DO something about it.

"Step two" would be to rescue FEMA from the devastation it's endured from this administration.

"Step three, four, and five" would be to fix the problems with the levees, fund local first responders, and bring the National Guard home.

"Step six" -- replace this incompetent administration with people who know what they're doing!! (Actually, that should be "step one," but we've got a couple of years to go.) That's worth praying for, too.

1. Oh my lord!
This worked soooo well last time, when it looked to be a direct fucking hit!

2. No Asshole....
...step one is looking at this web site on the 'Internets':

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Step two, Asshole, is for you and your whole filthy crew to resign and let competent governance emerge again. Remember, Asshole, you have no clue what you're doing and you're way over your head.

Two and a half more years of this. . . how will we survive?

5. If I were making it up, I'd have said, "Pray there ARE no hurricanes."
I'm a stickler for grammar. Chimpy -- uh -- isn't. :hi:

6. I thought I was going to read a good piece of satire
and I suppose I did. Jon Stewart is so lucky to have a President who also moonlights as a Daily Show writer.

I recommended this one.

7. What would be President Gore's step one?
Maybe take note that warmer weather leads to warmer water which is fuel for a hurricane, and do something about it?

8. President Gore (I like to call him that) is WAY ahead of BushCo on this...
It's painful to think about how far we could have come in the past six years, if our rightful 43rd president had taken his place in the White House...
