Trick of the trade:

Save your blog as a Word document first!

Open the Word program and open a New document. Write your blog here and save it to a floppy or the desktop of your computer. That way you can copy and paste the text that you have written to your blog and you will be less inclined to lose your written work if you save it in an alternative format.

Only Three!

George Will on "This Week" claiming that he knows a sure fire way to prevent poverty. Just live like he wants you to live and you will be alright. Try these nice simple rules:

1) Graduate from high school.
2) Don't have a child until you're married.
3) Don't get married until you're twenty.

Compassionate conservatives

Great summary from america blog

Compassionate conservatives in action - post Katrina
by Chris in Paris - 9/10/2005 01:53:00 AM

Nice folks over there and plenty of compassion.
Tom DeLay asks kids in the Astrodome who survived Katrina to go ahead and tell their old friend Tom, it's really just like camping and kind of fun.
Babara Bush thinks the poor never had it so good.
Man-Dog Santorum thinks that the National Weather Service dropped the ball.
Richard H. Baker, Congressman from Baton Rouge says "we finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did." Nice biblical link, Dick.
Bush worries about Trent Lott's house instead of countless poor who have lost everything.
Cheney follows administration policy of avoiding poor neighborhoods, prefering white, wealthy neighborhoods for photo ops.

One More...

and I'll stop. I'm getting a headache anyway. Price gougers are good.
My favorite line...
"By charging $20, the price gouger makes sure his water goes to those who really need it."

Concentration camps for Katrina

complete with pictures. Wait, what country do we live in? I'm so confused.

Trapped

like rats. Of course, if you watched the coverage at all. You already knew this.

More video clips

It's not Bush's fault. Don't you know by now? That man takes responsibility for NOTHING.

Bush vs. Katrina

"Don't buy gas if you don't need it." This is advice from Bush that just I got done listening to. He couldn't even go up there and face the nation without his daddy and best punching bag-Clinton to help him. People are dying across three states and he is most worried about his favorite subject-OIL. His lack of concern for the poor is finally revealed.
Check out this one.
And this one.
