Doesn't NASCAR use a different fuel?

And he said to tell everyone his rooster Ole' Bill made it thru the storm and is crowing this morning!
Toby is special to the ATRW thread...sorry about this rant.
And if you are feeling this way--a conservative activist on a conservative message board--just imagine how Joe Voter is feeling right about now.
This thing is going to torpedo Bush's presidency.
This seems like a fine time to start reaping some of the profits from all of that oil in Iraq. Let's get some benefit out of that hellhole.
CYA time.
More talk about numbers of ice bags and cots and hamburgers being flown in, blah, blah, blah . . ..
If you think the Judge Roberts hearings will be testy, wait to you hear the Congress finger pointing in a couple months. We will see the worst hysteria among Congress than we have ever seen.
And the media!!!!!!
Have a good supply of popcorn handy. This finger pointing will be historic in its scope. How many times will the RATs say both RICE and Bush were on vacation?
Is cspan going to this?
**warm smile**

Yes, I am aware. Thanks

Declare the State of Louisiana a military protectorate and take federal control of all State resources for use in the recovery.
The people cry for bread and Washington gives them words! Hope not!
WOW! You sure are good at listening to and parroting the MSM lies!
The section of levee that failed was recently upgraded. Even if it hadn't, it takes years to move money from the feds and get any USACOE project through design, solicitation and contracting into an actual construction phase.
From this thread:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1475340/posts
Not until the ninth paragraph does the story imply (but fail to state) that budget cut – even if the intended work could have been done instantaneously, had nothing to do with the flooding. It quotes an expert “at the University of New Orleans, [who] said that was particularly surprising because the break was ‘along a section that was just upgraded.’ ”
The implication, gleefully trumpeted by rabid Democrats, is that George Bush caused the destruction of New Orleans. Not until paragraph 16 does the article note the system was only designed to protect against a Category 3 storm. It neglects to mention that decision was made by local officials, all Democrats.
For the truth, see a Chicago Tribune article the same day. Its lede says: “The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Thursday that a lack of funding for hurricane-protection projects around New Orleans did not contribute to the disastrous flooding that followed Hurricane Katrina.”
The Tribune notes the decision to build the levees for a Category 3 storm was “made decades ago.” Next, it says, “ ‘I don't see that the level of funding was really a contributing factor in this case,’ said Lt. Gen. Carl Strock, chief of engineers for the corps. ‘Had this project been fully complete, it is my opinion that based on the intensity of this storm that the flooding of ... [New Orleans] would have still taken place.’ ”
