I was going to post my reaction on the Bush-bash of the day, but then I saw that Craig already wrote exactly what I was going to say. C’mon, media. There are plenty of real things you can bash Bush with, but this one doesn’t even come close to being newsworthy. Talk about stretching the truth to push an agenda.
I haven’t reported anything on our rusty old buddy, the Aquarama, recently. Frankly, I haven’t thought much about it. Until today.

5) The federal government shouldn’t pay to rebuild N.O. in its current location where it WILL be ravaged again someday…
Thanks for the link – I’ll have to keep an eye on Craig’s site!
And I am as well…with you on this…
