8. I fully agree!

For the life of me, I don't know why people cite Drudge?!?

For the record: Drudge is Rove's #1 Mouthpiece. Anytime this criminal Executive Branch wants to launch a trial balloon to the American Sheeple, Drudge dutifully is there to *publish their PROPAGANDA!*

Yeah, it's a free country - but no thanks to right wing "butt boys" like Drudge.

I'm not going to give that shallow man any more business. Hope he ends up with Guckert in a poor part of town ... drinking Mad Dog 20 20 from a brown paper bag ...

Oh excuse - I digress. :blush:

:hi:

Visit Drudge as much as you want, but have a Proxy Server set up to filter out the urls of his sponsors...

We filter out http://*.tribalfusion.com/* at my company so we don't see any of his advertising...shame shame shame.

12. Yes...
But that is too esoteric for most to do. Hence it is easier to just tell folks not to visit.

5. Drudge better stock up on eggs. They may be like hen's teeth soon.
He will be very lonely with no eggs.

6. But I thought that was just a "sign of personal virtue"?
Oh, wait, that was Vice-President Snarl. Doubtless Little Boots will have a far more visionary and uplifting message! :puke:

11. So right.
IF he speaks he will call for 1)Prayer (God's been good to us so far - NOT or does SATAN cause hurricanes?) 2)even BIGGER tax breaks to oil companies, 3)a big fat "I told you so" for oil drilling in Alaska 4) increased pace and loosening of regulations for Nuclear plants and perhaps even an elimination of the EPA to bring back burning COAL for electricty, but CONSERVATION??? HA!

PS: Jerry Springer is right. See all those waterfront low-middle class houses ELIMINATED with expensive condos and McMansions...

14. Yes, the Red Cross, Liddy Dole's former employer.
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 10:29 AM by flpoljunkie
Here is a list of other organizations which will be helping.

Red Cross now running first ad on CNN. "No amount is too small to help. This has been a Red Cross action alert."

A list from the AP on Where to Donate:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/29/AR2005082902136.html

Tuesday, August 30, 2005; Page A07

A variety of government and private agencies are en route to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina, and federal officials said people wanting to help should not head to the affected area unless directed by an agency. Instead, Michael Brown, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, urged people to make cash contributions to organizations. Cash donations "allow volunteer agencies to issue cash vouchers to victims so they can meet their needs," he said.

FEMA listed the following agencies as needing cash to assist hurricane victims:

· American Red Cross, 800-HELP-NOW (435-7669) English, 800-257-7575 Spanish.

· America's Second Harvest, 800-344-8070.

· Adventist Community Services, 800-381-7171.

· Catholic Charities USA, 800-919-9338.

· Christian Disaster Response, 941-956-5183 or 941-551-9554.

· Christian Reformed World Relief Committee, 800-848-5818.

· Church World Service, 800-297-1516.

· Convoy of Hope, 417-823-8998.

· Lutheran Disaster Response, 800-638-3522.

· Mennonite Disaster Service, 717-859-2210.

· Nazarene Disaster Response, 888-256-5886.

· Operation Blessing, 800-436-6348.

· Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, 800-872-3283.

13. THREE full days after the disaster
This is standard operating procedure for Bush, anyway.

During 9/11, he hauled ass to Nebraska and didn't address the nation for hours.

During the asian tsunami, he sent only a little money for relief and barely did anything for days. Public indignation actually forced him to increase the amount of money for relief efforts.

Typical Bush.
