The Big Not-So-Easy

It's been over a week since my last post. I've been trying to come up with the words to accurately express my sadness, outrage, and disgust. There are none. Every time I began an entry, I would simply come up blank. Thousands upon thousands of people have lost absolutely everything, including loved ones. People have been stranded, and forced to do things they would not otherwise do simply to survive. There are always those who take things way too far, and do what they can to take advantage of a bad situation. These people should be dealt with appropriately. Police have abused their power, and opened fire upon innocent victims. FEMA has completely mismanaged the relief effort. Bush had initially declined any foreign aid, as we are a nation that provides aid, not recieves it. Thankfully, Bush has changed his mind on this matter, and is allowing foreign aid to supplement our efforts. While my way in to work tonight, I heard a report on NPR that Bush has asked Congress for $50B for aid. Hopefully he won't misappropriate those funds to Iraq. Hopefully, this money will be put to good use.

In the shadows of the media's constant, relentless coverage of the Gulf State's battering, Bush is using this cover to slip John Roberts in to replace Rehnquist as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. How nice would it be to make sure that your buddy presides over your inevitable impeachment hearings?
