Finally! I Can Cancel My Vacation!
So the headline reads, "Bush Cancels Vacation to Focus on Relief"
How badly do you think they had been waiting an opportunity to cancel his vacation, both to get away from the antiwar protesters camped in Crawford and to get people to stop talking about how much time he spends vacationing?
I think pretty badly.
If we had a functioning media, that headline would be accompanied by a paragraph that recapped his vacation.
Also, I bet those states hit by hurricane Katrina, which many experts are warning was so strong as an effect of global warming, sure could use the reserve units that are in Iraq. If there is one thing a military style organization is good for, it's disaster relief. Yet, they are over there, helping to create a disaster in that country instead of being here to help out.
