The rape of America continues...

Firms with Bush ties snag Katrina deals


No surprise there.........they are out to make a killing any way they can.

Having said that, I have to say that Americans and the way they have responded to the disaster in the Gulf coast have made me proud. First, they started screaming bloody murder when they didn't think the feds were responding quickly enough; then they began raising tons of money; then they took displaced people in when they had no place to go and now they are doing random acts of kindness like a sign at the Arizona/LSU game: LSU, our home is your home! For the past two weeks, we have been one nation, under God, indivisible. It feels really good!

And Mr. no-one-helps-us-when-we-are-down, what do you think of the nearly billion $$$ in aid foreign gov'ts are giving to us to help us in our time of need? Last count, 70 nations have given to us whatever they can afford. Even nations that were shattered by December's tsunami have sent what they could pull together........doctors, nurses, medical supplies, money. On the news on Friday, I saw the militaries of the Netherlands and Mexico come ashore in MS to help with the clean up. In spite of Bush's questionable diplomacy, Americans are still loved. The world still cares about us.

Who new that one of the biggest disaster in American history would help us to feel better about ourselves. lol.
