HO. LEE. FUCK.

How. How did we manage to elect (I'd say "twice," but...) such a complete fucking moron? HOW?

Remarks by President Bush During Briefing on Hurricane Katrina.

We've got a lot of rebuilding to do. First, we're going to save lives and stabilize the situation. And then we're going to help these communities rebuild. The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch. (Laughter.)

I am utterly disgusted and embarrassed that this waste of flesh is the President of our country. I feel sorry for Trent Lott getting dragged into such an insane statement.

Holy Crap!

I'm sure I don't need to tell Chicagoans that Marshall Fields was just sold for 3.24 billion dollars.
Damn!
...for a brand in decline!
Astonishing.

Ask not what the Criminal Justice system can do for you...

A judge sentenced Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel to 20 years to life in prison Thursday for the 1975 killing of his teen-age neighbor, Martha Moxley.

Skakel tearfully insisted he is innocent: "I have been accused of a crime. I would love to be able to say that I did it, but I cannot do that."

Why would someone LOVE to say they did it? Certainly an odd choice of words.
