Biloxi Blues
"I was so upset that the Bush administration's answer to the latest crisis was to go shopping, so like the response to 9/11, that I immediately thought to give it away to my favorite organization. I sent mine to Habitat for Humanity after seeing the devastation in Biloxi, Mississippi while working at a Habitat project there. My husband followed suit with his check by sending his to the Heifer Project. "

Um, actually, it was the Democrats controlling Congress that came up with this ridiculous idea. Bush signed it, true, but the Democrats who were going to save us and roll back all the horrible things Bush did have so far only managed to investigate Baseball steroid use and send us all checks (rather than, you know, cutting back on gov't spending). So don't blame this one on Bush: This is *ALL* Democrats this time.

Don't try to reason with moonbats. Everything is Bush's fault. That will never change.

The Dem Congress was handed a timebomb in the form of a screwed up housing market, weak dollar, and escalating gas prices. Also, it doesn't help that the Repubs in the Senate are blocking everything with the filibuster (which when they were in power they wanted to get rid of, there's some hypocrisy for ya). And of course it's a lot harder to get anything done when Bush is vetoing everything! Funny how he didn't veto ANYTHING when the Repubs were in power in Congress.

Well, instead of focusing on the political statement here as others have- I think I'll focus on the way you spent your check. AWEsome choice. Thank you for thinking of others.
