Final Thoughts
For some, Hurricane Katrina may be the worst natural disaster in history to hit the United States of America, but there may be something worse. One storm began in Texas many years ago, and in 2000 it expanded to blanket the skies above the entire United States. Hurricane George— the most destructive disaster to strike America.
Here is a president who has neglected an entire nation, yet had enough energy and money to force a democracy in Iraq. Here is a president who neglected an entire nation, yet had enough time and energy to fight against women’s rights, gay marriage, and evolution. George W. Bush is an absentee president who has repeatedly assaulted not only the ones who voted against him but the ones who voted for him as well.
Many consider Bush fully responsible for letting 9/11 occur. After all, he did ignore the intelligence, the August 6th memo, and other numerous warnings. The Twin Towers may have still been standing today if it hadn’t been for the gross incompetence. Thousands of more American lives would have been saved if it had not been for the fradulent war in Iraq. The nation of Iraq, which did not have WMD or links to terrorism, would not be in a civil war, thousands of civilian lives would have been saved, and radical religion and terrorism wouldn’t rule the classes there. Our soldiers would still be at home with their families. The billions funneled into the war and bureaucratic departments consisting of unqualified friends could have been used for real anti-terrorism initiatives. The energy could have been put towards stopping the genocide in Darfur or the poverty that is plaguing the rest of Africa. The money wasted on the war could have also been used for domestic society programs like healthcare and education. The world would have been a better place overall, if it had not been for the Bush Administration.
It’s ironic that after the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Bush’s approval ratings plummeted, the CIA leak case took front center in the headlines, and an inside member of the White House was indicted while others continued to be investigated. To bring attention to Bush’s destruction of nature through the industries and policies he’s promoted, it took an act of nature. Maybe this time we won’t forget it.
In October 2005, Senator John Kerry stood at the edge of a river in Massachusetts as he nervously watched a broken dam threaten an entire community. The crews soon fixed the broken dam, but a symbolic dam was breaking elsewhere. In another part of the country, former Vice President Al Gore stood before a crowd of thousands of Americans as he challenged the Bush administration and made a call for action to hold them accountable for what they have done to America. The dam had finally begun to break and out poured the waters that would cleanse a dirtied and broken nation.

Things not looking so good for Bush
House panel approves subpoena for Rice
In rapid succession, congressional committees Wednesday ramped up their investigations of the Bush administration by approving a subpoena for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and granting immunity to a key aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
By 21-10, the House oversight committee voted to issue a subpoena to Rice to compel her story on the Bush administration's claim, now discredited, that Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa.
Moments earlier in the committee chamber next door, the House Judiciary Committee voted 32-6 to grant immunity to Monica Goodling, Gonzales' White House liaison, for her testimony on why the administration fired eight federal prosecutors. The panel also unanimously approved — but did not issue — a subpoena to compel her to appear.

2008 candidate draws up articles of impeachment
That candidate is Dennis Kucinich, and here are his Articles of Impeachment, officially known as H.Res. 333. In a nutshell, Kucinich believes Cheney should be impeached because he:
1. Manipulated intelligence to fabricate a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction
2. Manipulated intelligence to fabricate a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda
3. Openly threatened aggression against Iran absent any real threat to the the United States

Another School Shooting in America
A gunman opened fire in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing 21 people in the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history. The gunman also was killed.
“Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions,” said Virginia Tech president Charles Steger. “The university is shocked and indeed horrified.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18134671/?GT1=9246
My one question is where did the gun come from?
Yet despite today's horrible tragedy and previous school shootings, Republicans still support liberal gun ownership and accept money from the NRA and gun manufacturers.
I'm not the one making this a political issue, Republicans already have.
Republicans are contributing to crime rise in U.S.
After a decade of decline, violent crime is on the rise across the United States. Assault rose 2 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to the FBI’s latest report of national crime trends. Murder and robbery are up nearly 5 percent — the sharpest increase since 1991. Medium-sized cities of between 50,000 and 500,000 have been the bloodiest.
Gun-related crime rose 25 percent last year in Seattle, and it's up another 12 percent this year. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14137625/>1=8404
Republican Congress gives gun industry a lawsuit shield http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9762564/
Gun rights groups have given more than $17 million in individual, PAC and soft money contributions to federal candidates and party committees since 1989. Nearly $15 million, or 85 percent of the total, has gone to Republicans. The National Rifle Association is by far the gun rights lobby's biggest donor, having contributed more than $14 million over the past 15 years.
The NRA alone spent nearly $11 million lobbying elected and government officials from 1997 to 2003. But it wasn't the gun rights lobby's biggest spender. That was Gun Owners of America, which spent more than $18 million on lobbing over the same period.Since 1989, the NRA has spent more than $22 million on communications costs and independent expenditures, with more than $18 million spent in support of Republican candidates. http://www.opensecrets.org/news/guns/
