Sophmom recently posted an article on her blog referring to a story in Salon, entitled How Karl Rove played politics while people drowned. I highly recommend the article, as it delves into the despicable political games played while the people of New Orleans, that happens to be a city in the United States, suffered in one of the worst disasters in our short history.
The Bush government is not only inept, it’s corrupt and just plain wrong. It’s a government that’s more than willing to sacrifice those it serves for its own political expediency.
I usually don’t read they myriad of comments found after stories like this one, but this particular comment by someone known as “tangerine” got my attention:
burn in hell forever
Bush, Rove, all of them. They stole the White House, then eight years of our national life, and actual lives in New Orleans and Iraq. I can’t really express my rage properly.
See Ya. Goodbye.

Ok. It’s not pretty, this video. It’s poorly lip synched, but I think you’ll get the idea. The band is Steam, and they did the original version back in 1969. Which would be the year after I graduated high school.
Yunz (that’s Pittsburgh talk) can sing it Tuesday night as we wave “bye bye” to the Republicans and that joker of a President they call “Boosh.”
And no, I don’t think I’m getting ahead of myself here.
