intention

It was never--and stil isn't--my intention to make this a daily round up of what this current administration out of Washington has done and is doing to us and the country. And yet, here it is, day 3 of the blog and we have yet another example. I swear I'll quit this. Who knew it would be this easy--and relentless? (And why isn't there a long list of searching investigations into all of what seems to be massive corruption and/or incompetence? That's fodder for another day).

The current story? Another federal agency horribly mismanaged. If we can count on this administration for anything, it's ineptitude (yeah, and the corruption and graft, sure). Besides the billions we've given away, literally, in Iraq, it seems "FEMA misspent millions of dollars it received from selling used travel trailers--as allowed under the law." "FEMA used more than $13 million dollars toward fully-loaded sport utility vehicles,travel expenses and credit card accounts, according to a draft report to be released Friday.

Holy cow.

For people who hate government (and profess to dislike big government spending) these people sure like having a good time on taxpayer's money, don't they?

Can you imagine what the right-wingers and Republicans would do if this were a leftist, Democratic administration?

And why doesn't our own Congress do anything about all these abuses? Those very Democrats, anyway?

I have a friend who seems to say it best: "Democrats are stupid. Republicans are evil." (Thanks, Bryce).
