A rant I agree with

My friend, the photographer Walter P. Calahan, and I go way back. I hear from him every now and then and that's really nice. Fortunately we're pretty compatible politically speaking. Today he sent me his commentary on the president's latest shenanigans and I reproduce it for you in full here:

To Conserve Gas, President Calls for Less Driving

A New York Times Web Headline.

Asking American's to drive less amounts to asking Americans to fart less!

Then yesterday President Bush calls for the military to come to the aid of national disasters. What is this guy smoking? Talk about diluting our military's primary mission! Then why the hell did he and Congress create Homeland Security? I guess to downsize the federal government it was a good idea to create a whole new bureaucracy that doesn't do much very well?

Imagine Donald Rumsfeld leading this great nation in a hurricane or earthquake disaster, and at his first press conference saying "stuff happens" just like he described our military's poor preparation for post-invasion Iraq?

Hey Mister President, did you ever hear of the US Coast Guard. They were out there plucking people off roofs before the wind stopped blowing. Fully fund the Coast Guard to aid and coordinate nation disaster relief and you'll see a job well done.

Or you can simply fly to an Aircraft Carrier after a hurricane and declare "Mission
Accomplished."

Is our president on crack?

Perhaps we can change our nation's name during the cover of night, get rid of this guy, and wake up tomorrow called Canada?

Way to go, Walter. Looking forward to hearing from you again soon!
