What a week in Washington DC

Steve Centanni came face to face with the religion of peace. He converted to Islam at gunpoint by his captors.

I am certain that many an honest convert comes by those means.


Richard Armitage has not been called on to kill himself nor has the press declared him a traitor for "outing" Valerie Plame. There has been no mention of the apologies due Mr. Rove or Mr. Libby since the finding that they did not do anything wrong based on the Special Prosecutors charter.

Read the New York Times, watch CNN you'll be believers of their trash if you can stomach twenty minutes of their pap!

When the press thought they had their hooks in Karl Rove, they called him a traitor, a most heinous traitor for outing a not-so-covert employee of the CIA. Now there is nary a word covering the real "culprit". If it is not Rove then we do not care. That is how it is out there now. If you read this and defend CNN, you wanted to see Rove go down just as bad as they did! Wolf Blitzer was nearly in tears when Armitage admitted to the "leak".

Lefties will go down with the ship eventually. They are going nearly blind with rage and hatred for President Bush. It drives them, consumes them. They do not seem to realize that there is a world out there that has nothing to do with Washington politics. There is a world out there that does not live or die by making the President look bad. I could not stand Bill Clinton but he was Commander-in-Chief. He made himself look terrible and got away with blaming everyone else for him being a scumbag!

Therefore, this week has seen a conversion to Islam by a Western reporter and Karl Rove has more time to spend with his weather machine cooking up storms for the Gulf of Mexico.

Turn CNN back on, go listen to Katie or one of the other numb-skulled whack-jobs on the "Nightly News", enjoy, it's free and you get exactly what you paid for!

Katrina a year later.

Katrina.

That name evokes emotion with people today.

It conjures up memories of politicians breaking their necks to get money flowing to their states. It flashes images of poor people sitting huddled in the Superdome in New Orleans. It makes us remember how the national press had been duped into printing falsehoods about rapes and suicides in the Superdome.

Mississippi lost a great deal of her history when Katrina came ashore. Fortunately, many folks evacuated the MS gulf coast.

New Orleans has the mentality that it will pass so pass me another drink. They had dodged so many bullets up to Katrina that they thought they were off the hook again.

The entitlement mentality also has a strong foothold on New Orleans. The folks down there seem to have forgotten all of the people and property lost and destroyed during the myriad of storms that have hit Florida. I suppose there was not enough poverty to cover there, no real tearjerker in Florida.

Not all of Florida is Boca Raton! Granted, not all of New Orleans is the Garden District either but the whining in New Orleans never seems to stop. Ray C. Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans, calls everyone else out when playing the blame game but he gets a pass when the bill comes due. His city left ALL of the 500 busses required to evacuate folks locked up below sea level!

Sure, he ordered a full evacuation, mere hours before the storm made landfall! Yippee! Nagin is to blame for the loss of life that did occur. President Bush runs the national government, where is the responsibility of the city and the state? Governor Bush of Florida does not play during hurricanes he is out there telling folks to get out and come back after the storm. Blanco and Nagin patted one another on the back until they nearly broke their arms and in the end when the truth hit the street they pointed at each other! Then collectively they pointed at the President, as good Democrats would.

The one-year anniversary of Katrina means that I am watching a period of growth in Slidell, LA. It means our neighbor to the South is still the Big Easy and the people there are still looking for their handouts!

If you feel your pocket, moving around it is the congress stealing more of your money to send to the whiners in New Orleans!

Ernesto will likely give New Orleans a pass, too bad they could get more money out of Congress if they cried even louder!
