So Colin is going to wait for the ball drop to go to SE Asia?

Are you kidding me?

He is going to push the button to make the ball drop at Times Square and THEN get on a plane with Jeb (NOT running in '08 BTW :eyes: ) to go "help coordinate" the rescue mission.

Gee I wonder how that is going to go over. Not that they seems to give a flying f**k mind you.

Oh one more thing-I heard on NPR yesterday some under under secretary of State saying that the important thing is not to do everything for the tsunami survivors but to help them help themselves. I sort of see what he meant but it smacked of ~"letting them OWN their own nightmare".

Seriously for crying out loud.

1. Help them help themselves?

Isn't that so Christian Republican?

2. That's what the guy said

spreading the "era of ownership" worldwide.

Shame on them.

3. Well, Powell is on his way out...

So we're all supposed to think he's an ass anyway, even though he strongly disagreed with bushco many times.

I heard someone on the radio (local) this morning saying that Jeb was going because he experience with disaster relief. Really? Was he rebuilding the homes and actually caring for the displaced victims of hurricanes himself?? I think he has experience is ASKING for aid, that's about it.

5. Jeb handed out some water

I remember seeing pictures of it

[Not_Giving_Up]

7. So, he's flying around the world to hand out water?

Yeah, that's good use of taxpayer money....Why don't they send someone who could actually DO something?

4. Whatever they do

The media will be beside themselves to laud them for their 'heroic' efforts. But if it's Clinton or another Democrat, they'll portray it as political opportunism.

6. The BUSH name will be in large prints....

that's what counts for the bushes. Public relations over the dead.

8. The fix is is, going to be jeb, barring a counter-revolution against

this murderous dynasty.
