Deja Vu All Over Again!

Bothered by the chaos in Iraq, or in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas? Relax! Bush is taking charge; things will be alright. For those of you who worried that perhaps Katrina and Rita problems might slow the Bush people down, there's NO evidence of that. They continue to put the screws to the working stiffs who deserve better. The wage protection laws have been suspended; contractors (Bush cronies all) can now legally exploit workers, environmental laws have been placed on the shelf while the cleanup, rebuild contractors who are permitted to exploit the workers by, among other things, paying below min. wage scales, can assault the environment free from impunity, and they're doing their nasty little deeds with no bid-cost plus contracts.

Oh but not all Republicans are bad, our dear senior Congressman Sensenbrenner (he may be suffering from dementia) who has voted for every dollar being spent to rebuild Iraq, says no to the gulf region. . . NOPE, he wouldn't vote for even one slim dollar in aid to help those poor folks deal with devastation of Biblical proportions; we've got to rebuild Iraq first.

Now don't worry, Sen. Frist, the Senate Majority leader, will come to our rescue, that is, after he clears himself of the Martha Stewart like stock trading he's been doing with securities that were placed in his blind trust. . .maybe Sen. Frist uses a seeing eye dog. Well, we have House Leader Tom Delay to help us. . .he’s connected! Remember, he’s the one with strong ties to the high powered lobbyist who stripped millions from the Indian tribes he supposedly represented. Don’t be too hash on the lobbyists now. How was Jack Abramoff going to pay for Delay’s Scottish golf outings with his family without money.

Yogi was right, it's deja vu all over again. The Harding administration is back with all the scandals, cronyism and the like. It's a form of political reincarnation.

Keepin' an eye on things for ya,
