Monkeyhead, God, Lies and Yes, A Good Idea.

I didn't bother to watch the Bush speech last night, but I read what Monkeyhead had to say to pick up the lowlights.

He invoked "a faith in God no storm can take away,", never acknowledging that the storm is one of those things commonly referred to as "an act of God." So it's unclear which side of this issue God is on, but it's probably the opposite of whatever side I'm on.

Bushie didn't bother with a coat and tie, I guess to make us think that he'd been doing some recovery work right before he hopped in front of the camera.

Here's some B.S. for you:

"As all of us saw on television," Bush said, "there is also some deep, persistent poverty in this region as well. That poverty has roots in a history of racial discrimination, which cut off generations from the opportunity of America. We have a duty to confront this poverty with bold action."

I will give my left lung if this president does one fooking thing to confront poverty with bold action. I will run naked through the streets. I will call Rush Limbaugh and beg to give him oral sex.

To make it all happen, Bush is going to spend more on the Katrina zones than has been spent on the whole Iraq war so far. (Too bad we have the Iraq war to pay for at the same time. Where's my tax cut?) As much as I detest President Monkeyhead, I take issue with this next Washington Post paragraph's insinuation:

Even as he embraced a spending program the scale of which few Democratic presidents ever advanced, Bush signaled that he would shape its contours with policy ideas long sought by conservative thinkers. He proposed creation of a "Gulf Opportunity Zone" that would grant new and existing businesses tax breaks, loans and loan guarantees through 2007. And in documents released before the speech, Bush called for displaced families that send children to private schools, including religious ones, to be eligible for federal money.
