My mother's reaction on hearing about Bartlett's Katrina DVD for Bush
Upon hearing dicussion on Olbermann's Countdown with the Newsweek reporter about the DVD being made to convince the oblivious pResident of the serious of the situation in the Gulf area, she started smaking her newspaper on the wall:

"God, just shoot the bastard! Don't discuss it! Just shoot him! Oooooh!"

(On a related issue, she spoke to my older brother on the phone. He said there are no bodies floating in the streets of New Orleans. My mother told me this as video footage of several floating bodies appeared on Countdown. I'd like to think she is misquoting him. He is a military officer who just retired. Needless to say, he gets a lot of his "news" from Fox. He's also the one who said in 2000 to me that Osama bin Laden was just a boogieman being pushed by the Clinton administration.)

1. Beginning to wonder
if there is a law that says there must be at least one in every family. I have a brother that mainlines the kool aid. Though will say your mom rocks.

2. There must be such a law. Everyone likes my Mom, by the way, so
you have lots of company. Thanks.
