Just wondering

After Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans intolerant Christian hate monger John Hagee said that his god punished that city because it had a level of sin that was unacceptable to it. So if all natural disasters come from his god, I wonder if he'll claim that Haiti had an unacceptable degree of poverty and or voodoo and that's why his god had to destroy all those buildings and kill all those people.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the folks in Haiti would appreciate cash, clothes, food, medicine, pillows, blankets, and a less oppressive corporate presence in their country more than they would your thoughts and prayers.

How long?

How long will it be before the corporate media and the Reich wingers blame liberals for the bridge disaster in MN? How long before they say that Bill and Hillary Clinton knew about it and let it happen? How long before Bush gets out there and has his frat boy self photographed in front of that bridge? How long will itbe before Bush says that Al Qaeda caused this disaster and that because this bridge fell that we need to stay in Iraq five more years?


This country is falling apart, our infrastructure is crumbling while the Republicans fiddle around and keep us in Iraq and Afghanistan. How many more of these bridges will have to fall before people see what a travesty it is to let the rich white people run our govrenment and our country into the ground? Is your kid's school falling down? No? Maybe not, but I bet there are some schools in your state that are falling down.


Our bridges fall, our schools crumble, our interstates break and yet we have to keep pouring billions of dollars into the quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan so ExxonMobilBPShellHalliburtonBlackwaterUSAKellogBrownandRoot can make millions off us.


Government is supposed to protect us and to supply basic services like schools, bridges, and highways, unfortunately our federal government is being held hostage by public enemy number one:

Hat tip to Johnny Yen for the bridge picture, thanks Johnny.
