This is a really good idea. Otherwise they are illegal.
I also think David Souter's house and grounds would make a great retreat for hundreds of these poor folks. Can we seize it now?

Good. What a good idea, and I'm shocked this happened this quick within a federal agency.

I am always surprised when bureaucrats do smart things. Good for them.

Now I've done it.. Try to bash Bush and I find myself in even deeper water: (no pun intended)

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said evacuees from the Gulf Coast are not refugees, a word he believes suggests subhumans or criminals. "It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said.

I will no longer bash Bush or suggest he is at fault. 'cause refugees are refugees, no matter how small.

Senegal's contribution to hurricane relief...

Dear Mr. Livius,
After hearing about Senegal's contributions to the hurricane relief I was touched and thought that perhaps
my country could help also.
I therefor am prepared to tender a contribution of
ONE million dollars to the relief efforts.
Please send me your secure account number so together
we can help these innocent victims.
Signed David Lovesbody MBE. CCT. REI.
Assistant Treasurer Nigerian Hurricane Relief Fund.

Please Mr. Livius, I seek no notoriety for my self
so I must ask you not to make any press releases
or give my name out, I am a humble man and only
seek to help those poor who's fortunes need improvement.
