[but did you really have to contradict yourself and call someone a "Bushie" and "Bushie brain"? You must be one of those psuedo intellectual liberals who thinks it is okay for libs to use insulting terms, but no one else. ]

it''s often that many don''t really want the discussion to be at a higher level ... you''re own use of the term ''lib'' could be viewed as a slur against ''left thinking'' types.

anyone who at this stage continues to support all that defines the policies and politics of the bush administration are likely best characterized as ''authoritarian followers'' ... a personality classification that has decades of research behind it ... and is uncanny it''s accuracy.

most don''t know what it is ... those who suffer from it''s effects don''t want to know what it is ... which in itself is one of they symptoms of the condition.

these online threads are full of them. ''bushie'' could be classified as a slang for what really defines them and their view of the world. you can read about it here (many other sources available).

[The new superlative in the scatalogical reference library may be a "Katrina." A catastrophy everyone saw coming, was prepared for, destroyed homes, a city and its people as well as their trust in government. ]

there''s another ''katrina'' coming ... it wont be local to NO ... it will destroy more than homes ... and nobody seems to really care.

who won american idol ... who''s off survivor this week ... the era of every pitcher in the league ... and whether or not barry bonds and roger clemens lied is way more important ... at least for now.

Bottom line McCain said this about Pastor Hagee:

I''m "very honored by Pastor John Hagee''''s endorsement."

-John McCain

More quotes from Pastor Hagee:

"Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist."

-Pastor John Hagee in his book What Every Man Wants in a Woman (Charisma House, 2005)

Kellie,
For a number of reasons, I have moved 26 times in my life, but I must say, I don''t enjoy it and I haven''t now for a long time; it isn''t easy.
My point is not that New Orleans shouldn''t be rebuilt, but that obviously it was never set up to withstand the worst case scenario. As far as the rebuilt levy is concerned right now, according to this CBS News report, it is leaking. I think since the technology exists to build effective, workable levies that keep back the water, such as the Dutch have created on the North Sea, then we, the USA should build those types of levies. If that doesn''t happen for whatever financial or political reasons, then persons who stay there are doing it at their own risk.

People in NO are going to have to lobby hard for effective levies. Good luck, I hope you are successful if enough people there want them.
