Byrd Cites "Mixed Emotions," Recuses Self From Katrina Funding Complains of acid reflux resurgence Friday, September 02, 2005 Byrd: believes black people have their place, but that "place isn't New Orleans." Washington--Democratic Senator Robert Byrd (W-VA), recused himself today from voting on the 10.5 billion-aid bill to help rebuild the southern coast--primarily--the predominantly black city of New Orleans. "I am at a loss, " said Byrd, known also as the "conscience of the Senate." To see those plantation houses obliterated against the backdrop of the Strangefruit trees--it tears my heart out." Byrd, a former member of the KKK, said he could not "with a clear conscience and sound mind," actively fund a bill that could expedite the domiciled resettlement of African Americans. "It just aint right," he said. "If I aint gonna fight along side 'em, I aint gonna live next to them." Byrd noted that the upset has caused him "severe esophagal trauma," in the form of Acid Reflux Disease. "I'm just sick about this," he said. "I mean, look at all the bedding being trucked in by FEMA. What a waste of perfectly good sheets."

Cindy Sheehan Plans Spontaneous Trip Back To Crawford Washington--As tens of people gather at the Crawford Texas property in support of peace mother, Cindy Sheehan, it is Sheehan herself who says the spontaneity index will be increasing sharply in the near future. Sheehan, whose son died in the Iraq conflict in April of 2004, suddenly appeared outside the Bush vacation ranch and began protesting. Numerous networks coincidentally in the area started coverage that grew exponentially, everyday reporting Ms. Sheehan's spontaneous protests. The grieving mother was forced to leave the site last week, when reports surfaced that her own mother was suffering from a stroke. She now says that another spontaneous appearance at the ranch is imminent. "After seeing Joan Baez spontaneously show up with her band, I knew it was in the cards," said Sheehan. "To have tens of tens of people telling George W. Bush that hegemony is over. We want this ranch that doesn't belong to us back!" posted by The Therapist @ 4:39 PM
