3. Pues, no soy un oráculo...

but with this loco in charge, I think we are headed for major disaster. We must all stand up to the Bush cabal and say "NO MORE WAR!"

4. Better come visit before we are under water for good.

Bush says, "no money for Lousisiana" to replace our eroding wetlands and barrier reefs. I guess they think Florida and its "New Europe-Disney Fantasy" deserves all the money.

Come and visit us soon before we're gone! :)
