Not at the expense of getting it done. This summit has been in the works for a while. A lot of foreign leaders are coming. It's an opportunity, and it would be a shame to blow it.

And this is not about the Bush Administration vs. the old way of doing things. This is about different factions within the Bush Administration. Bolton previously had a reputation for not being a team player -- this is more of the same.

So you take the view that any legislation is good legislation?

I don't have a view on Bolton, but someone who is not a team player, in one person's view, may be a person of integrity in another's.

Of course not, but I have faith in Condi Rice to be pushing those efforts in the right direction. By all accounts, she had been investing a lot of time in this, and this is the sort of thing she does well.

That's a good justification for the Saturday Night Massacre.

I'm surprised there isn't more discussion about the invasion from Mexico this morning.

Anyhow, as I was entering my local watering hole last night, my sister was leaving. We exchanged pleasantries and she let me know that some of our friends were still inside, and "half of New Orleans."

The survivors have turned to calling my fair city "Houstorleans," and they looked like they were having a good time in our bar. A 40th birthday party was going on, someone bought a round of shots, and spirits seemed to be up.

It was nice to see. I wonder how many of them will end up staying here.

By blog I mean some asshole's opinion. If this is something more, let me know

If you want reform at the UN, you're going to have to get other countries on board. I know diplomacy is out of style right now, but that's what it will take. Doing what Bolton has done so soon before the summit is harmful to the cause.

The people who were previously negotiating for the U.S. were working for the Bush Administration, too.

Given that there has been no reform, might it not be a good idea to fuck up the chance for more graft $$$$ to flow?

I think the time is ripe to pull out of the UN, its an anachronism and on top of that hopelessly corrupt. Let them pick up and move to France and plot our demise while the radical Islamic hordes descend on them.

I agree; we also should dissolve the United States, restoring all power to the states, where it belongs.

Are you with me, brother?

Actually yes. I think the future of the US is in an evolution to a conferacy of regional areas, which would be largely autonomous in domestic policy, but share a national defence and some other essential centralized functions.

the more I look at the pictures of the drowned buses the more they seem to be telling me something about who is responsible. Anyone else see it?

Considering how New York gets shafted on federal taxes paid compared to federal investment, I'd be down with secession. Hell, we're already called The Empire State.

BREAKING:

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin garnered a ton of publicity with a profanity-laced interview he gave to WWL radio last Thursday, where he blasted President Bush and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco for not coming to rescue his city in time.

However, Nagin's most newsworthy comments - where he explained why he didn't use hundreds of city school buses to evacuate his city's flood victims - went almost unnoticed.

Turns out, Nagin turned his nose up at the yellow buses, demanding more comfortable Greyhound coaches instead.
"I need 500 buses, man," he told WWL. "One of the briefings we had they were talking about getting, you know, public school bus drivers to come down here and bus people out of here."

Nagin described his response:

"I'm like - you've got to be kidding me. This is a natural disaster. Get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans."

While Nagin was waiting for his Greyhound fleet, Katrina's floodwaters swamped his school buses, rendering them unusable.


Wow, that flies in the face of the State of Louisiana disaster plan, pg 13, para 5 , dated 01/00 where it said:

'The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating'

Will anyone but God hold this idiot accountable?He should be placed under arrest now and Bush should declare martial law.

Isn't Barbara Bush afraid that they'll all stay?

Ok, that's it. I'm out of my element.
