In yet one more brilliant move (drop in the bucket) the Senate pushes forward a bill for $50 billion for the quagmire in Iraq & Afghanistan. And get this, the Senate bill is $5 billion more than the House voted for and here's why: $4 billion will be used to stockpile medicine to protect against a potential bird flu epidemic. POTENTIAL! Fema can't pull it's head out of its own ass, let alone protect the population from fucking bird flu. How many Katrina survivors will get the bird flu? It's hard to say, but one thing is for sure, they could use that money NOW, not potentially. And while we're on the subject, why does it seem that citizens, companies, hell, even the MLB are helping Katrina survivors. Where's the gov't help in all this? Giving out $2k debit cards? That's like fueling the poverty pandemonium! "I got my family out of NO safely only to get held up at gunpoint at the Astrodome after receiving my gov't assistance."
Yes, let's keep giving money to the most worthless cause since Vietnam. Every day we're there, dozens more insurgents are born. And they're strapped, thanks to us. Has the whole world gone crazy?! Yes, almost 2,000 of our boys have been killed. And over 100,000 Iraqis. But nobody wants to talk about that. My diversz counselor saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "We're making enemies faster than we can kill them." That about sums up this rant. Fuck it.
There is a dim light at the end of the tunnel though. Sports, one of the best distractions the world over is going strong. The White Sox swept the Red Sox, winning their first postseason series since 1917. 1917! Before there were blogs! Good work, boys! Drinks all around!
