Putting A Different Spin On Things….

When I’ve watched the T.V. news coverage of tornadoes that have smashed the living crap out of many small towns in the central part of the United States, I’ve noticed that almost to a one, when interviewed many survivors crawling out of a bathtub will say that “God saved us” or “God spared us”.

What I’ve also noticed is that those that were crushed under a bathtub and didn’t survive that gentle touch from the hand of god have said, eh….. well, not so much. 

You might notice that many of those areas that show the highest incidence of damage from the tornadoes are indicated on the map by sort of a reddish color. Perhaps it might be a coincidence, but most of them (i.e., Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, Indiana, etc….) are also described as “Red States”, because they tend to vote for republicans. Is it true or false that payback is a bitch? I’ll just call them as fair and balanced as I see them, then you decide….

Full Disclosure: Because I have an ex-wife living in the ex-house she “acquired” in Greenfield, Indiana,  I watch the storm news with mixed feelings, truth be told I hope that if a house is going to drop on some bitch witch, well……...

Great work there Bushie….

F.E.M.A. = Forget Any Monetary Assistance.

Bush broke all his previous records for getting to a trouble spot, arriving in Iowa even before the water was finally dried up. The real crap happens tomorrow in the deeper South with the rivers cresting, but George will be long gone.

With hurricane Katrina, it took nearly a month before he flew over.

“Hey, those people look just like ants!”…   “Mr. President, they are ants, we didn’t take off yet…”

Well, o.k., he waited about 40 years before he went to Viet Nam, but you know a guy has to be careful, if he went earlier he might have run into Jane Fonda. You know, I think she could have kicked his ass.
