KATRINA CAT 5, BUSH CAT 6

Our Gulf coast is transformed into the condition of Iraq, and George has continued his violin-playing sashay to avoid Cindy and the Gold Star Families.

Fiddlin' to the Texas Two-Step, he will soon be taking ear-piece dictation from Mr Rove to distract us from their squandering of lives and the economies of America and Iraq.

The National Guard won't be recalled from Iraq and Afghanistan, but it might be a good idea. We have followed the Bush team from Hell away from a Clinton Surplus into a generation of waste and destruction. Iraq after Bush liberated it has the same landscape as our Gulf coast liberated by Katrina.

Bush is the Katrina of Iraq. Rove is the weatherman.

Their next trick will be to open the Emergency Oil Reserve. We would do well to reflect on the Republican opposition to the creation of it under Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter was a smart President. He will be helping rebuild New Orleans through his legacies like Habitat for Humanity long after Rove and George and Cheney have done profiteering on the human tragedy they created.

Republicans will fiddle while SUV fuel burns.

There are Haitians, Sudanese, Iraqis, and others who were in better condition before Bush liberated them with American aide.

We have a Category Six Administration.

Who is proud of that?

KATRINA, NOT IRAQ, IS NATIONAL GUARD JOB

The purpose of the National Guard is to answer to State and local emergency and catastrophic situations, mostly flood and weather problems. Sometimes they are called upon to subdue democratic and civil rights, rarely to enforce civil rights, but always to abet internal political control. They can only be in one place at a time, and this Katrina is on our coast today, now.

The compulsory draft is not an option today for manning a war on the third world, therefore, our Prexi-by Proxy has called the National Guard to international war.

If he had opted for normal war, with a draft, we would be at peace because no Congress person could face reelection voting for a draft, much less a unisex draft. So his handlers took the end run of calling up the National Guard to gain internal political control of his otherwise dead-in-the-water term.

Red herring and straw man methods.

Katrina is about to wipe across southern states where the Guard will not be in strength for response. The spoiled brat in office, combined with the power of office, will just pool NG resources from other far-flung states to help with the desaster.

These members of the Guard who just wanted to serve and get educated and get the benefits to help support a family will be further disjointed in the struggle to make a life and career. Because the real purpose of the military is internal political control, the Guards are pawns of political operators.

Katrina is the perfect storm, combined with the cost in money and lives of our despotic military behavior, to expose the falacy of George-war. Yet, it could enhance his "leadership qualities" if he is able to exploit it in the mode of the Twin Towers demagogery.

SARCASTIC IS NOW PRESIDENTIAL

I have heard Gold Star Mom recitations of audiences with the President-Select where the mother described her son and lamented that his life had been too short. To which the prez said yeah, but had he lived, his life might not have been very happy, anyway.

The inappropriateness of this presidential incipidity can't be explained by spin. It is a dark joke that this technical military deserter leads us. His evangelic crusade has cost the world and America thousands of lives. He only shows respect to the partisan subset of his personal supporters. He was not present for duty for months at his post in the Texas Nationsl Guard, then rose to commander of heros in an optional war he started on purpose.

That is not honorable. It is a sarcasm directed toward the rest of us, even the best of us, who died under orders. They didn't live to possibly become President, or even become a normal person.

WE WERE SCHOOLED TO BE FOOLED

WESTBURY HIGH SCHOOL, Houston, in the summer with no AC, we raised our own money to buy fans. We sweated bullets ond got drafted to dodge bullets. We paid taxes for years to pay off the the bullet, billet, and baloney merchants' financiers.

By then they had earned enough lucre to invest in the next few battles and proxy wars.

International unrest seems to increase in the eyes of countries with recessions.
It's only business, and marketing; the six o'clock news talking up the newest threat which statesmen have provided. Rallied into patriotic fervor, us Westbury products re-enter the cycle and disregard reality by supporting another war spender. Wars make a lot 'o jobs, then the survivors pay off the debt in time for the next.

When the bill comes due someone allways switches the account number.

THREE LITTLE HOMELESS AND A WOLF

ONCE UPON A TIME there were three little houses built by hard working, yet lazy citizens, who never thought the wolf would knock on thier doors. They were all pigs. The one with a lot of money built a brick house with a mortgage, but he had a good income from his credit card stock and consulting business.

The one with a job at the local feed store couldn't afford more than a straw house, but he could get home improvements on credit at the Great Wall Market Depository.

Office worker citizen was able to get a lower rate of interest because he was more respectable. No interest till 2008, but vote right. He bought his stick home in a new subdivision developed by the Governor's cuz, who did everything right, except warranty, cleanup, and create new jobs for the first piggy, who had trained for computer programing, but that skill is outsourced to his college buddy from Deli. The house, though stick construction, had tile in the kitchen, laid by visiting workers. They had no salery or healthcare, but they worked hard, and sent money home. In the old country it meant a lot becausse the lack of work there was universal, unless you count border assembly and beachfront service for tourists.

Funny thing about both countries was that each sent its economic potenial to the other.

There was a wolf, more than one wolf, but mainly this big, bad wolf who blew.

He was a wiz, and he had a big movie set with a curtian with a roving script-layer made up good entertainment fiction stories. When he wrote nonfiction he was too modest to take credit, so he toasted others.

The wolf practiced raeding, but was a little dyslexic, so he had group therapy in elementary schools during off-times. After one seven minute timeout he expanded his reading to teleprompters, where he found that he performed best with a bug in his ear.

Can't We just stop stupid politicians?

Dear Earth, we have failed to not be led into stupidity. War is stupid, so why do we keep doing it? Little warlords and big warlords is why, because we are too busy keeping the wolf from the door to watch the fox in the coup.

I know the tricks they use, one of which is to pretend to be respectable instead of what they are: petty warlords. They whisper obscene suggestions in our national ear, in our state and local ear until we don't realize, when they speak them aloud, that the obscenity is not our obscenity. Then we trust.

We have made serious mistakes trusting the current bunch of warlords.

The weapons of mass destruction, which we originally supplied Saddam, were no longer around. The Axis of Evil.... Who is that? Pick any set of the hundred-plus dictators we subsidize, especially ones with oil.

It is a long two terms for the Constitution, the way civil rights are done in by the warlord fear-casting. World evil and terrorism give local warlords the excuse to protect us by removing normal due process. External threats to "our way of life" present our opportunistic warlords the temptation to "save" us by squandering our own money and liberties.

Fear of terrorism makes us give up our authority over our servants, the politicians, the warlords. We give up everything for the illusion that we can force other people, with their own set of warlords, to love us for attacking and killing them.

The coincidence of external threat serves international warlords so well, I would guess they must alternate their hostilities in order to provide a mutual cover as nation-savers. I'll attack this group, and you send Marines, they say, then we both can become martyred heroes at home.

This phenomenon leads me to propose BOBBY'S AXIOM 1: that....

The purpose of the military is internal political control.

Just a hunch, for a start.
