The Bush administrations appeal to Americans for money to help pay for the reconstruction of Iraq has raised only $600 (£337).
The appeal for donations to rebuild New Orleans have attracted hundreds of millions of dollars. Of course, Hurricane Katrina survivors who want to apply online for Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance need Microsoft's Windows operating system and Internet Explorer Version 6.
"The US has lost control of their budget at a time when racking up deficits has beenauthorizedd without any control [from Congress]," French Finance Minister M. Thierry Breton said, allegedly quoting Alan Greenspan in a rare moment of simple honesty. "We were both disappointed that the management of debt is not a political priority today. The situation that is creating tension today on the currency market ... is clearly the American deficit." Well, ddduuuuhhhhhh! What funny is that Greenspan did not want America and the world to hear this.
FEMA director Michael Brown is being retained by the agency as a "consultant."

I'd been looking for just the right post to put up that photo of Bush. Is this not the right one?
Let's all say it together:
"We're fucked!"
