So, Президент Оба́ма wants to get rid of the Islamofascists at Gitmo and replace them with…Haitian Refugees:

The U.S. has begun preparing Guantanamo Bay for Haitians migrants in case of a mass exodus spurred by the earthquake.
Officials confirmed that about 100 tents, each capable of holding 10 people, have been erected already.
They have more than 1,000 more on hand in case waves of Haitians leave their homeland and are captured at sea.

After all, Оба́ма is allowing those Haitians who are already here in the US Illegally to stay, so to him, it makes no difference. This. Pisses. Me. Off. The last thing our country needs is another frakking Boat Exodus.

This past week has been absolutely horrible for the People of Haiti, in the wake of the 7.0 Earthquake which hit their country and has, in effect, destroyed it. But just yesterday, Pat Robertson opened his mouth to imply that the Haitians are enslaved by Stan. And today, what do we hear from the other side?

“When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?”

Yup. Uh huh. Just as bad an idiot as Robertson.

Hmmm…Senator McCain must have finally realized his Presidential aspirations are history, because he’s even making sense about the bulls**t game Congress plays with earmarks, and how the I-35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis could have been avoided if they had properly taken care of our infrastructure:

“We spent approximately $20 billion of that money on pork barrel, earmark projects,” said McCain. “Maybe if we had done it right, maybe some of that money would have gone to inspect those bridges and other bridges around the country. Maybe the 200,000 people who cross that bridge every day would have been safer than spending $233 million of your tax dollars on a bridge in Alaska to an island with 50 people on it.”

Are you listening, Senator Stevens?

Dang! Mom told me these were getting close to my aunt and uncle, who lives in Lake City, Florida (the location of the byline). This is taking place north of the small burg (the last time I was there was back in 2000), while my aunt and uncle live south of the town. I hope they don’t have to evacuate any time soon.

I swear, I just had a daymare (as opposed to a nightmare) about this…and it’s only 3 in the morning. Imagine the Code Pinkers turning this into some type of macabre cheer…

“Who caused Iraq? - BUSH!
“Who caused Katrina? - BUSH!
“Who caused Kansas? - BUSH!
“IMPEACH BUSH NOW!”

See I can chant & rant with the worst of ‘em eh. But I digress.
Typical for a Democrat Governor of a Red State to come up with some bulls**t excuse that because the resources of the Kansas National Guard weren’t available right away to help the victims of the Greensburg tornado, it’s just easier to blame President Bush. What did people do when there wasn’t FEMA, or the National Guard around when their towns were struck by disaster?
They didn’t rely on or wait for the GGN solution…they pulled together and went forward to rebuild anyway!

Now this is a rarity indeed. Kyrill, a Category 3 storm on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, nails the UK, France, and Germany, and should eventually lose strength over Poland, Austria, and the Czech Republic. Everyone in the affected countries is being told to stay indoors…and probably say lots of prayers too.
How long will it take for Europeans to blame George W. Bush for this one?

The 21st named storm of this season, Tropical Storm Wilma, formed in the Caribbean earlier today. With that, they’ve run out of hurricane names:

The six-month hurricane season ends Nov. 30. Wilma is the last on the list of storm names for 2005; there are 21 names on the yearly list because the letters q, u, x, y and z are skipped. If any other storms form, letters from the Greek alphabet would be used, starting with Alpha. That has never happened in roughly 60 years of regularly named Atlantic storms.

And it’s barely the middle of October, we’ve still got six weeks to go. This’ll make the el cubos go apes**t because you know as well as I do that they’ll blame it all on global warming and President Bush.

Now that Hurricane Rita has strengthened to Category 5, people are getting out of the way and it’s important that citizens get up-to-the-minute information and we of the blogosphere can do that. So can the MSM…if they choose to do so.
There will always be those who want to obscure the facts and this guy is calling them on it: none other than the Ragin’ Cajun himself, Lieutenant General Russel Honore, both available in audio (mp3) and video (Windows Media) formats.

HAT TIPS: Instapundit and The Political Teen

Looks like another member of the Democratic Party has decided to break ranks from the MoveOn.org overlords:

When the president asked us to pitch in Thursday night, he wasn’t really asking us to do anything spectacular. He was asking us to be Americans, and to do what Americans always do.
The president has set a national goal and defined a national purpose. This is something I believe with all my heart: When we are united, nothing can stop us. We will not waver, we will not tire, and we will not stop until the streets are clean, every last brick has been replaced and every last family has its home back.
Bush talked about how we bury our family and friends. We grieve and mourn. We march to a solemn song and then we rejoice and step out and form the second line. That line is now open to every American to join us in rebuilding a great region of this country.

What makes this significant is the fact that Brazile was Al Gore’s campaign manager in 2000. Perhaps more and more Democrats of national stature are beginning to see the light of how their party has been taken over by the far-left faction (who sees Ms. Brazile’s words as poison). The Democrats cannot, and will not, be able to compete on a national level unless and until the rank-and-file Democrats rise up and depose the Mike al-Moors, the Howard Deans, and the Cindy Sheehans who sit on top of it all. Can I mention George Galloway too? He’s probably an honorary Democrat by now!
Now, how can I, as an American, contribute to the rebuilding of New Orleans? Well, I did participate in the telethon last Friday (9 days ago). Next, I will ask around some people in my Fraternity and discuss the feasibility of committing to New Orleans for the 2009 National Convention (we were there last in 2001). We’ll see where it goes from there.

Governor Kathleen Blanco (D-LA) gets caught on tape (Windows Media Player required) admitting to her press secretary she messed up. Now, are you still going to blame President Bush? He has also admitted responsibility for the Federal Government’s response. Now, STFU!

HAT TIP: The Political Teen

Oh, so you’re a survivor of Hurricane Katrina and you want to register for relief online with FEMA? Sure you can…but only if you use Windows!
Now just wait…sooner rather than later, some unscrupulous bastard will hack FEMA’s web site and grab the info about the survivors from there to use as they please (sell to highest bidder of course), all because FEMA and God knows how many other government agencies use a Windows-based system. Won’t be long now either.

Let’s see…200 NOPD officers quit or desert their posts (man if they were military, they’d have been SHOT!), and then Mayor Nagin wanted FEMA to pick up the tab for sending those who did stay on the job to Las Vegas for R&R? Fortunately FEMA said no, but the city is paying for it all anyway.
It won’t be too long until Nagin gives all city workers 6 weeks’ paid vacations, just like in Europe! And while they’re at it, he might as well give them $500 in cash to blow on the slots while they’re there!
So much for asking the Feds...the anti-Giuliani, Mayor Nagin is.

After seeing this little article about all the damn school buses that sat there, unused, when they could have evacuated thousands of poor and indigent New Orleans residents, I said “That does it! I’m publishing my first editorial Photoshop!” Nearly all the others have been parodies.
And so, without further ado:

Bitch to Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana for dropping the ball. Hell, they didn’t even pick the damn ball UP!

Gov. Kathleen Blanco, standing beside the mayor at a news conference, said President Bush called and personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation for the low-lying city, which is prone to flooding.

The Damn Mayor should have called the Governor and said “Governor, we won’t be able to handle this, we’re evacuating! Will you help us?”
The Damn Governor should have agreed and called the President and said “Mr. President, we won’t be able to handle this, we’re evacuating! Will you help us?”
The Feds are supposed to be the THIRD LINE of response to any major disaster, NOT THE FIRST! I’m listening to Mayor Nagin on “Coast to Coast AM,” and he essentially calls for the Federal Government to supply the Be-All, End-All Giant Government Nipple Solution!
This is why the response to the disaster was as slow as it was.
Oh, just in case anyone was wondering, both Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco happen to be DEMOCRATS....

UPDATE (03 Sept 2005 at 1227 MST): One of my lurking readers sent me this link and sure enough, both New Orleans AND the State of Louisiana were aware of the major problems with the evacuation plans after Hurricane Ivan struck last year…and did absolutely NOTHING to correct the situation! Tell me, O you who still wants to bitch at President Bush…are you still holding him responsible for this mess?
BULLS**T!

This one’s for all the news reporters on one side…and the looters on the other: there ARE things in Life that are more important than ratings and gettin’ back at The Man.
