1. If only people would stop

Trying to tell him anything in August. That's when Cheney and Diebold reprogram his brain for the fall launch of his newest stupid initiatives.

2. "I believe the memo was entitled ...

... Katrina Determined to Attack Within the United States."

There must have been hundreds of thousands of email messages and phone calls going on in the hours before, during and after Katrina hit.

Funny how not a single NSA agent brought THAT to the pretzlenit's attention ...

How can * be expected to read anything?!?
