That can be seen to be the basic program of the Republicans: make the government as worthless as possible so it collapses. Pretend that it can’t do anything because it’s the government, as opposed to the reality that the Republicans are incompetent.

One would think that more people would understand that the economy is the result of the private sector failures, not government failures. The failure of the government under Republicans is not treating corporations like the greedy children they tend to be.

Computers models of business tend to be quite good on computers, not so much in the real world. JIT works wonderfully as a computer simulation or PowerPoint presentation, but one glitch and it’s the “blue screen of death”.

The GOP scriptwriters have improved somewhat it seems. 🙂 I am sure Chertoff had at least a mild look of confusion as he made the statement. I doubt he understood any of it (I’m sure he simply kept thinking something like “but… this will cost *money*! Out of my budget… Money that can be better spent ensuring nothing ever gets done… Too many of those undesirable American trash STILL use the Airports! It has to be stopped!” etc) LMAO

Good to see you adante! I really hope everything get’s better for you! Best wishes and good luck. 🙂

I didn’t want to bring up the fact that without power you also need cash because the equipment that processes debit and credit cards sort of needs, and you also need phone lines.

I think if we stuck a few of the these people into one of their trailers at one of these disasters, they might figure out that their priorities change.

To put it in “Californianese” – need electricity to evacuate? “Like DUH!”

I’ve assumed it was you from the Feedjit list, but I get a bit obsessive about tropical weather.

Never fear – I still lurk. Can’t type much, but I can still (sort of) click a m0use.

I’m relieved to hear from you, Blogmother. My cousin in Myrtle Beach wasn’t impressed with Hanna, but the problems can be spotty.

Conservative used to mean something a whole lot different than it does today.

“Just In Time” (and the heck with the future – let someone else deal with it).

Perfect conservative slogan.
