Why can't we make * use the 500 MILLION he wants to raise for a LIBRARY

[Maraya1969]

to fix up New Orleans. How much can 500 MILLION buy when it comes to roads and other infrastructure.

Either way that son of a bitch should not get away with raising this type of money for a fucking library in his name. He does not deserve it. He needs to pay restitution to this country and a good place to start is New Orleans.

Congress can make it so that people can not give money to him anonymously. That would help a lot.

[MadMaddie]

1. He is a selfish bastard and he would never consider

giving money to help the country and it's citizens....

And it is kind of ironic to have a library dedicated to him when he scoffs education and has a distate of anything enlightening...

2. You're kidding! $500 million for a GWBu$h library????

$500 million to construct a building to house copies of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and "The Pet Goat"?

Talk about wasted resources! :banghead:

[Maraya1969]

6. I heard it on Keith Olbermann tonight. Maybe we should kick this so

more people will see what the little bastard is up to now.

[Azathoth]

17. There's a lot of history that needs to be rewritten

It's gonna take a lot of money and a lot of PR to rewrite Dubya's "legacy".

[nevergiveup]

3. It is beyond comprehension

[az chela]

4. They will probably fill it with comic books so he can read them

or at least look at the pictures.
Our tax money goes for this shit.That makes me want to puke

[calimary]

15. Actually, Olbermann wondered aloud about how many "My Pet Goat"

books that 500-million was gonna buy.

5. Have you read Armed Madhouse by Greg Palast?

There is a story in there about the government purchasing 20 nuclear submarines at a cost of 2 BILLION per. The funny thing about it is that finally someone with a clue thought to ask why we were wasting money for submarines during a desert war. Well not to be defeated by anything as lame as logic, the manufacturer(I believe it was Lockheed) came up with a plan. For another 400 million per sub, they could retrofit them so they could... now I believe this is where Palast said "folks you can't even make up stuff this insane".. so they could stuff Marines into the torpedos and launch them onto the desert shore :crazy:. Of course they got the go ahead, 24 billion dollars worth. 500 million for a library is pocket change to them, at least where the taxpayer is concerned.

[Maraya1969]

8. So they could stuff Marines into the torpedo's and launch them onto the desert shore???

[walldude]

10. Yup... not a joke.

Like the man said, you can make up stuff like that. :crazy:

[Art_from_Ark]

21. That reminds me of a Monty Python sketch

"Mrs. Nesbitt's having one of her headaches again, so I put her in the torpedo tube..."

[Minnesota_Lib]

7. If they must build it, why not down in Paraguay on that land they just bought

Out in the middle of the jungle.....far, far away.

[leftofthedial]

9. he will need it for his defense

and/or getaway

[Subdivisions]

11. Shrub with a presidential library? ....

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

12. How about re-opening the fucking EPA library they closed

on the sly.

[Maraya1969]

16. From that link. "Citing budget pressures" Maybe we need to start are own pressuring.

Citing budget pressures, EPA has in recent weeks closed several of its libraries across the country, with their collections gathered in three large “repositories,” where the works sit un-catalogued and inaccessible both to EPA's scientists and to members of the public. EPA claims to be digitizing these collections in a page-by-page process that has no dedicated budget, timetable, over-arching plan or set of priorities.

[Old and In the Way]

13. Remember all of that lost money from the Pentagon and the Iraq CPA?

I really want to see a real accounting of this money. I want to know who is stupid enough to finance this joke to the tune of %MM and up....I think this is going to be used against this country. Seriously, $500MM for a library and think tank? doubtful.

[Maraya1969]

14. Kicking in the hopes of other recommendations!!!

I really want people to know the latest this man is up to so maybe it can be stopped. Nothing will happen though if no one knows about it.

[calimary]

18. Kicking again. I'm limited to one recommendation, however.

But yeah. I wanna see this get LOTS of hits. And the poor get poorer while little caligula builds himself a Saddam-style palace.

[Maraya1969]

23. We need 3 more votes.

[Bozita]

19. State-of-the-art Columbine HS cost $35 million - This is 14+ Columbines ...

... to house just how many copies of "My Little Whatever"?

Insanity at its best

[dubykc]

20. Why doe sthere need to be a presidential library? Everything

the shrub has done as president has been classified hasn't it?

[Disturbed]

22. Would it stil be built if that Asshole was Impeached and

found guilty of crimes?

There is no doubt that he has committed crimes. How can I say that? He has admitted to violations of the Constitution that's why.

[Lisa]

24. he makes $400k a year! He should save up his own money

... if he wants a "lie-berry" that badly.

I mean, it's not as if he has to pay room and board at the White House (plus he gets free transportation too).
