Hell froze over today
My sister is a die-hard Bush supporter to the point that my efforts to educate her of his true colors ended in arguments. Anyway, today I received the following in email from her and almost fell off my chair.

A lot of folks can't understand

how we came to have

an oil shortage here in our country.

~~~

Well, there's a very simple answer.

~~~

Nobody bothered to check the oil.

~~~

We just didn't know we were getting low.

~~~

The reason for that is purely geographical.

~~~

Our OIL is located in

~~~

Alaska

~~~

California

~~~

Coastal Florida

~~~

Coastal Louisiana

~~~

Kansas

~~~

Oklahoma

~~~

Pennsylvania

and

Texas

~~~

~~~

Our

DIPSTICKS

are located in

Washington DC

1. It's funny
When it hits them in their pocketbook, they open their eyes quicker.
Either way, I'm glad she is seeing this.

7. I just talked with her tonight
She said, "I'm slowly losing all respect for Bush after watching the way he's handling the hurricane victims."

I'm hoping that the many Americans who once supported Bush are waking up.

Another Bush supporter I know is angry because Bush didn't talk with Cindy.

Maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel.
