    It's sad when we've come to the point where it takes a hurricane to actually cut government. Not slow the growth of government, but actually cut the government's size.

    Watch this closely over the next few months. All 3,000 of these workers were deemed "non-essential." That means there were no police officers or firefighters let go. If they're so non-essential, then what are they doing on the government payroll anyway? Let's just see if the City of New Orleans dries up and blows away because it has 3,000 fewer bureaucrats pushing pencils down at city hall.
    If a city can cut its work force in half and not affect any essential personnel, that tells you something about the efficiency of government.
    Bottom line --- not one penny of taxpayer's money should ever be spent at any level of government for a worker deemed to be "non-essential."

    President Bush is taking more liberal positions. For example global warming. He used to be against it. Now it's the Republican plan for heating homes this winter.

Nice rant

"Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the bullshit going on in New Orleans.  For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for your loss.  With that said,  Let's go through a few hurricane rules: (Unlike an earthquake, we know it's coming)

 

#1. A mandatory evacuation means just that...Get the hell out.  Don't blame the Government after they tell you to go.  If they hadn't said anything, I can see the argument.  They said get out... if you didn't, it's your fault, not theirs.  (We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have a car, you can get out.)

 

#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables.   If you didn't do this, it's not the Government's fault you're starving.

 

#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some.
(Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible.   Leave them alone.)

 

#2b. If the local store has been looted of food or water, leave your neighbor's TV and stereo alone.  (See #2a) They worked hard to get their stuff.  Just because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff...it's theirs, not yours.

 

#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then complain no one is helping you.  I'm not getting shot to help save some dumbass who didn't leave when told to do so.

 

#4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them.  If someone does want them, let them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth.  Just leave!   (It's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on them.)

 

#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a sports stadium or a floating casino.  Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city that is under sea level.  You wouldn't build your house on quicksand would you?  You want to live below sea-level, do your country some good and join the Navy.

 

#6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton want  you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way  to eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way to   destroy America).  The US Government didn't cause global warming that caused   the hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a million  years).

 

#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything.   This is the  land of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta  work for what you  want.  McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring,  get a damn job and stop  spooning off the people who are actually  working for a living. President Kennedy said it best..."Ask not what  your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

 

Thank you for allowing me to rant.

    This is national book month. Or as President Bush calls it, October.

    Did you see the Astros-Braves game yesterday? The Astros won in 18 innings. 18 innings. The game was so long, three of the relief pitchers visas expired!
    You know why it took so long? Most of the steroids stopped working after the 12th inning. That’s why there weren’t any hits…

    President Bush is out defending his Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers. President Bush said that Miers has a good heart. Well sure, compared to Dick Cheney.

    There is a report today that income figures for the richest Americans -- the top 1 percent -- grew in 2003. In other words, the rich got richer. On top of that, the income taxes they paid declined. Get ready for another round of class warfare in the media, and you can depend on the media not pointing out that income taxes are paid on income and not on wealth appreciation. Sadly, most Americans wouldn't even understand what I just said.
