How is your mom?

[Swamp Rat]

15. still missing

:cry:

[Stephanie]

16. oh sweetie!

she'll turn up - just too hard to call - she was in a downtown hotel, right? she's okay.

[Swamp Rat]

20. I am hopeful, but things are getting ugly in the Quarter, as the remaining

high ground becomes a battle ground for survival. dead bodies, pollution, starvation and thirst, violence, snakes and rats... I've been in floods before, which were bad, but this is beyond what I've experienced... I wish I were there for my mom. :cry:

[Stephanie]

26. she's not alone -

you did the only thing you could do - you got your dad out - you couldn't force her to leave - she will call you when she gets evacuated and can reach a phone

[Swamp Rat]

31. I've got some folks waiting in Houston for her

god I hope she's OK

[Stephanie]

37. here you go baby - PIX for you - keep busy >

thank you :cry:

[muwriter]

42. That may be optimistic

ACE (Army Corps of Engineers) colonel in charge said earlier on CNN he thought it would take 4-6 MONTHS to drain the city.

Then it needs to be cleaned.

[Shallah Kali]

44. Here is the bush strumming photo on yahoo - please rate it

[bonzotex]

45. set that pic as my desktop background

Thanks! Just in case there is a rare moment I forget what a Bastard Bush is.

Never forget, never forgive, never give up. Let's take our country back!

[Swamp Rat]

46. IMPEACH NOW! n/t

[CrownPrinceBandar]

47. Bush is making it too easy.........

Good job, SR. As a former, short-term resident of the BE, my heart goes out to everyone down there.

[Swamp Rat]

51. thanks...

I like your avatar

[tuvor]

63. Me, too.

[La Coliniere]

48. Kickin

You rock, Swamp Rat!

[Fire Walk With Me]

49. A DUer pointed it out, it needs kicking... Bush is giving the finger

These people are breathtakingly unfit to have any sort of position of authority.

[BlueStateBlue]

53. This guy's unfit to even hold a white color job! n/t

[troubleinwinter]

50. SPECIAL REQUEST TO SWAMP RAT!

My daughter told me today that she has become utterly convinced that Falwell and Robertson are NOT human beings, but Martians.

Do ya have lizard pics of them you could point me to?

Best wishes to you and your family!

[Swamp Rat]

58. Here ya go:

[troubleinwinter]

59. OHMYGAWD. They are REVOLTING! Thanks!!!!

[Swamp Rat]

62. Now for something completely different:

[troubleinwinter]

65. Eeawwww! You see with such amazing clarity! Waaay scary.

Sent a little PM.

[tgnyc]

54. Hell yeah, kick that shit.

[Beetwasher]

55. Good To See You Still Kickin' Hard, My Man!

:thumbsup:

Every musician in the country should now hate this man. Is that supposed to be a "G"? What an idiot.

[sundog]

61. nice job man

:thumbsup:

[Swamp Rat]

64. kick ... going to eat

[Nothing Without Hope]

66. Swampy, I can't see your big image in the opening post - I get this box

that says "This image removed due to high bandwidth usage":



Can you post a smaller version? Or is something else weird going on that affects only me? Your other images in this thread show fine and I've never seen this message box from ImageShack (which I haven't used) before.

I want to see it because I know it must be a knockout.

[Sapphire Blue]

67. While New Orleans Drowned... Bush Strummed

[Nothing Without Hope]

69. Oh, that is POWERFUL!!! His fury and bitterness come through so

clearly that surely anyone who sees this image will also feel them. This image is going to expose the lies and heartlessness of that POS. Thank you, Sapphire! :hi:

IMO this image is the ideal for the Bush as "Nero fiddling while Rome burned" metaphor. Its simplicity strenghens it. The Seal of the US President, a particularly smarmy note - though probably it's there because of the guitar being a kiss-up gift - is clearly visible on the guitar, too. This is a guy who only wants to the The Revered Leader but not to actually DO anything. He's a corrupt sociopath who does not give a flying damn.

So far, my favorites of the other metaphor, Bush as "Marie Antoinette saying 'Let Them Eat Cake' " are three from dicksteele in this thread;
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4521301
Thread title: I'm trying to see to it that B*sh CHOKES on that cake! (politically)

All three "cake" images are great, but this is my top choice. I do think the relative image size of this one might be adjusted so bush is a bit bigger, but others may disagree.:



Powerful, powerful stuff. I think he's going to rue that McCain birthday party. He may have gotten some big donations, but he's damn well going to pay a price in these images and peoples' outraged response to what he has done. Maybe Americans will finally wake up.

[Sapphire Blue]

73. I saved the image earlier & uploaded it... it is powerful!

Here's to our dear Swamp Rat! :toast:

[Nothing Without Hope]

78. Yes, hugs and comfort and admiration for our Swamp Rat!!!

:grouphug: :toast:

[drm604]

71. It's not just you.

I see the same high bandwidth message. It means that so many people have downloaded his pic that he's used more bandwidth than ImageShack allows within a given time period. Other people could see it because they were looking earlier, before his bandwidth allotment was used up. He can find a different host or follow their suggestion of a clickable thumbnail.

[Nothing Without Hope]

72. thanks for this explanation! I am able to see the smaller version

SapphireBlue put up in response to my question just fine - and very, very powerful it is.

[LordBinkyTheBuffoon]

68. You are amazing

Really, I don't post much at all, but just had to say that you make some real funny (and well, sad, since it's usually true) stuff. Keep up the good work, Swamp Rat!

[Richard Steele]

74. KICKin' it for the third shift!

[Swamp Rat]

77. thanks... reposted the pic below n/t

[Liberal In Texas]

75. I'm reminded of Nero and Rome.

AGAIN....
He is deer in the headlights. Remember 911? Sitting in that classroom with glazed eyes after being told that the second plane had hit the Twin Towers.

WHAT A LEADER!!!?

What now? 3 or 4 days before he decides to do anything? No busses or any federal support to get people out of the city. No locations to put them up....but the shrug strums his guitar after his AF1 flight back from San Diego.

:puke:
