Heard about this on NPR this morning. This story gave me several reason to want to puke but one of them left unsaid in the NPR srory was that its been over two years now and we still have Katrina and Rita surviviors living in campers!?!? I bet if this involved a state up for grabs in the next election , say Florida, all those people would be living in actual homes now.
when are we going to collectively say ENOUGH
If Joe neoCON Lieberman isn't going to provide any oversight of things like this through his committee, then nothing will ever get done about it. Convenient for bush, eh?
convenient yes for the king and his court which of course includes da liebs no matter HOW MUCH he sayeth it don't
