Stealing a headline from MSNBC today, I am compelled to comment on my view of where hurricane Rita is heading. It seems to me that it is aiming straight at Louisiana again. The track has shifted to the northeast quite a bit from last night; at least in the satellite images I am looking at right now, it has. The western edge is going to get hit for sure.
Is it a sin to say, "I hope so?"
And, why (wash out my mouth with soap!) would I even say such a terrible thing? Because the place is already devastated, it's just about empty of people - other than the stubborn hold-outs who refused to leave - and let's face it, perhaps that is the only way our leaders will admit that rebuilding there is just plain insanity! The next Gulf hurricane could well be another direct hit on New Orleans.
Also, while listening to President Bush speak a minute ago, I was once again stunned at his inability to deliver clear and precise answers to spontanious questions from the press. If I didn't know better, I would swear he suffers from a serious stutter, or at the very least, a speech impediment.
And, if that weren't bad enough, he also sounded mentally disheveled and he was embarassingly ill-informed. They shouldn't allow him to speak at all; not without a pre-written speech in front of his face. (Even Vice-President Cheney looked somewhat embarrassed, as he subtley urged him to get the hell away from the microphone.)
It's times like this when I miss Bill Clinton. Well, to be honest. . . I miss him all the time. I really enjoy listening to him, whenever he speaks, and I felt much more secure under his leadership. In spite of his personal problems, I think he was a great President.
This Bush guy - he's just not cutting the mustard in any way, shape or form. He scares the living be-jeezes outta me - even more so than hurricane Rita!
