Housekeeper Shows Bush Up (Tsunami aid)

OK, so I'm here working in my partner's office late and one of the housekeepers came by to tidy up the office and we started talking about the tsunami. She mentioned that she had donated $100 for disaster relief.

I don't know how much the housekeepers here get paid, but $100 has got to be a significant chunk of her weekly income. And as a country, under Bush, we have come across with $35 million? $20 of which is a LOAN?

Hey George, if you open up that fucking Bible of yours there's a story in there about widows' mites that I think you oughta read.

@#$!,

The Plaid Adder

Four effing days to even say one word about this tragedy. What A Loser.

(I was channel flipping during the national broadcasts) that private donations have now exceeded the amount the US Government has pledged.

Thanks to bushco shuffling all our funds into Halliburton, et al.

i was flipping through the channels this morning and even matt lauer was talking about this. it is turning into a huge embarassment for this administration.

Campbell Brown, I believe, and Brown was talking about how the Admin. was trying to dispell the image of being "INSENSITIVE" to what had happened. I think this was on MSNBC.

I was shocked that she used the word...INSENSITIVE. I bet that's the last time I hear it used.

but I don`t think Bush`s mountain bike is equipped with a book bag for his Bible. The nation may have to wait a few more days for the next Holy Statement. Bush can`t rush into these things. If he did he`d look like a sappy liberal who feels everyone`s pain.

As for the housekeeper, Bush`s Department of Labor would probably figure she SHOULD give up that hundred dollars since she`s paid way too much to begin with. Anything over $2.15 an hour is the same as theft.

Even reading that in the Bible would go right over his head.

...and had a heart and really cared avout my country -- I would have been on the phone with all of my rich cronies and twisted their arms until they gave "privately" to help the victims, until it hurt.

But no. not Bush. They just had to give until it hurt to get him elected, and now to throw him some "white tail and cowboy boots" party that is going to disgrace us, once again, in the eyes of the world.

I'm going to Washington DC coronation day to raise my fists and to show the loving WORLD that we resist this sneaky little creep and the fat pigs around him.

She gets it, Bush doesn't!

Watch and see if he doesn't spin the outpouring of support from ordinary people as "proof" that the government need not get involved in philanthropy, since "ordinary" people are so willing to donate generously to causes like this....

Arming the troops adequately via private donations is another.

What, exactly are we paying taxes for, if we have to pay again, privately, to ensure that people get what they need?

Let's ask bushco -
if we don't have enough money for armor for our own troops and their vehicles (whether or not we agreed with the war, we all paid taxes for it),
if we don't have enough money for natural disaster relief,
if we can't afford to offer health care to our own citizens,
if we can no longer afford welfare or food stamps for our neediest people,
if NCLB requires educational reforms without added revenue,
if the department of homeland security is supposed to be underfunded,
if we have to gamble our Social Security in the slot machines of Wall Street,

then

where exactly the hell IS our tax money (minus tax cut) going?

Why do humble citizens have to pay twice for the causes they THINK their taxes are supporting?

and can't find his way to the New Testament
