it seems like if all we wanted to do was incite civil war in Iraq, we could have done it with a couple of CIA agents and not a full scaled invasion costing thousands of lives.... nice job George. have fun cleaning up this mess.

White House to Issue Own Katrina Report
WASHINGTON - The White House has announced it will issue it's own assessment of the government's response to the Hurricane in which they conclude that the storm was not as bad as first reported and that many of the people of the Gulf Coast region were being unreasonable in their criticisms of President Bush.
The 25,000 page document goes into great detail of the President's crises management ability and concludes that he acted with speed and precision when confronted with the prospects that Katrina would hit land as a category 5 hurricane.
"We had to break up the President's pizza party with local oil executives who were in Crawford to discuss the administration's energy policy", noted Homeland Security Secretary Jerkoff. "He also had a very important meeting with the local chapter of VFW and we weren't sure how he'd balance all his obligations. The President was a calming influence in what was otherwise total chaos."
When it became apparent that New Orleans would be ground zero for the largest hurricane in our nation's history, the President noted that FEMA should be armend with fresh water and canned goods.
"Hey, Brownie, In a couple of days, when things settle down, make sure those kind folks down there get plenty of water. some wolf brand chili would also be nice. when's the last time you had wolf brand chili? well that's been too long now hadn't it? he he he....."

Bush Unaware of Ports Deal Before Approval
By TED BRIDIS Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush was unaware of the pending sale of shipping operations at six major U.S. seaports to a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates until the deal already had been approved by his administration, the White House said Wednesday.
"He became aware of it over the last several days," McClellan said. Asked if Bush did not know about it until it was a done deal, McClellan said, "That's correct." He said the matter did not rise to the presidential level, but went through a congressionally-mandated review process and was determined not to pose a national security threat
"The president made sure to check with all the Cabinet secretaries that are part of this process, or whose agencies or departments are part of this process," the spokesman said. "He made sure to check with them - even after this got more attention in the press, to make sure that they were comfortable with the decision that was made."
Bush and Cheney, both fishing of the banks of the Potomac in their overalls, were not available for consultation by administration officials so staff simply ok'd the deal. When asked about the discretion of his staff, Bush responded, "hey man, trust me. we got it all under control and we know what's best for the Amerrrican people."

Mr Baber (pronounced Babaarrr) calls for special session
"now, boys, i got a problem with this kwanzaa extension. i don't know about you, but, i'm cut off at midnight on mardi gras, that's fat tuesday for you non-christians. hey baby, it's 40 days of repenting and self-cleansing. i suggest you all do the same for the good of all our souls and for the good of kwanzaa. i don't know what the mayor has up his sleeves but it's giving me a bad feeling. what happens if the hogs lose? will you then be looking towards spring training and your worthless yankees? i mean where does it stop? somebody has to draw the line. i say we cease all kwanzaa festivities at midnight fat tuesday. who's with me?"
Mayor of Dookieville, "Hogs victory over Gators offers renewed optimism"
in the waning seconds of the 2nd half, the hogs were given ample opportunity to give the game away. missed free throws, turnovers, stupid fouls and bad luck were not enough to supress the hogs will to pull out a victory. with seconds left on the clock and the game's final result in the balance, superstar Ron Brewer made a crucial steal in the gators backcourt to seal their fate. the victory was not lost on mr mayor as he used the renewed sense of optimism to shore up his base for one final push into march madness, "now hear this, it was a big victory for our ballclub and our players. they really stepped up and gave the fans a taste of old school hog ball. i see no reason why we shouldn't win out, sweep the sec tournament and move on to the field of 64. i have been saying all year this was the best team in the SEC. if there are no objections, i move we extend Kwanzaa for another, say, 6 weeks, until the end of march. we must carry on. we cannot walk alone, we cannot turn back. now let's call those hogs. whoooo pig, sooieee.. whooo pig sooiee... whooo pig sooieee, razorbacks.... go hogs.
now can wally hall go fuck himself and can somebody get me a budweiser? it's tourny time...."

mayor of dookieville calls for unwaivering support
"now hear this, i don't want everyone to get down on the hogs just yet. the season isn't over. we must support our hogs. go hogs. go hogs. go hogs. whoooo pig!!!!"
apparently mr mayor drew some skepticism from his own security detail who was seen drinking budweisers and heckling the mayor to the point where the exchange became quite heated.
the next game will be this Sat v the 10th ranked Gators. should be interesting.. stay tuned
Hogs break Ole Miss losing streak
Oxford - Just when it was time to get excited about March madness, the Hogs are again self-destructing towards the end of the season as Stan's boys are playing without the intensity required of a post season basketball team. I hate to get down on the boys but it seems like we don't really have anyone to step up and take command of the team when we are down the stretch.
Rick Schaeffer, of course, blamed bad officiating and bad luck, but we have to face the fact that this isn't 40 minutes of hell or hard charging Eddie Sutton ball. this is Stan "play not to lose, i don't want the ball", Heath ball... i hate to be such a downer but basketball is my sport and i used to cherish this time of year when Hogs were manning up and thumping other teams. no one wanted to play Arkansas down the stretch for our tenacious defense and inside play coupled with some pure perimeter shooting was enough to keep any coach up at night. no we are welcomed in any gym in February. i feel like a fan of the Washington Generals....

Iran Plays Growing Role in Iraq
Yesterday Syria transferred all dollar denominated assets to Euro denominated assets.. Iran (who did that same thing a week or so ago) looks to be running the politics in Iraq w/Shiites in charge. i smell an invasion.
looking at the map, i'd say that US troops are potential sitting ducks.. Iran invades from the east, Syria invades from the north, hamas comes along for the ride and you have one gigantic jihad... bin laden can sit back and watch it all on tv.. we've done all his heavy lifting for him
U.S. and Israelis Are Said to Talk of Hamas Ouster
www.nytimes.com
JERUSALEM, Feb. 13 — The United States and Israel are discussing ways to destabilize the Palestinian government so that newly elected Hamas officials will fail and elections will be called again, according to Israeli officials and Western diplomats.
The intention is to starve the Palestinian Authority of money and international connections to the point where, some months from now, its president, Mahmoud Abbas, is compelled to call a new election. The hope is that Palestinians will be so unhappy with life under Hamas that they will return to office a reformed and chastened Fatah movement.
Here's an idea.. let's starve the people to the point where they get so desperate they will have no other choice but to see our side of things. now that's affective foreign policy. What do you think Condi? it's worked great in other areas of the Middle East.
sounds good to me Mr. President. Once the Palestinians haven't eaten in a couple of months they will surely call for a new election that we will no doubt be able to influence this time.. i don't know how that last one got away from us. can you pass the popcorn?
uhhh...... Why do you think young men join terrorist organizations in the first place? Here's a guess, they are starving, desperate and pissed off at Christians and Jews...

Sutton cited with DUI, will not coach for rest of season
TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Eddie Sutton was cited with driving under the influence after he was injured in a car accident, and the Oklahoma State basketball coach will take a medical leave for the rest of the season.
Friday's accident in Stillwater, along with chronic back and hip pain, prompted the 69-year-old coach's decision, the school said Monday. Sean Sutton, his son and head-coach designate, will finish this season as coach. Oklahoma State was home Monday night against Kansas. The university said no decision has been made on who will coach next season.
How about Stan Heath?

Google - deja vu all over again?
http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/060212/google_stock.html?.v=1
Google was far and away the most actively traded stock by dollar amount last week on all US exchanges, down -18.95% on $25 billion in activity on the week. the next closest was Apple, d0wn 4.54% on $15 billion. as a comparison, Exxon Mobile was the most actively traded stock on the NYSE and was down 1.64% but on $6 billion in total weekly volume. that's insane.....
