We're back to the 60's and 70's children. For those of us old enough |
|
the Hurricane and its aftermath are oh so familiar. Racism, poverty, government mismanagement, fruad, corruption and of course, another war.
When oh when does it start to get better and stay better in America?

10. Ford gave those idiots Rumsfeld and Cheney |
|
Oval Office jobs, though. The retread miscreants plaguing us are as much Ford's as they are Nixon's and Reagan's.

7. Nixon was a bastard but at least he wasn't an idiot |
|
If you ignore Nixon's political manipulation of the war, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands, and the paranoid delusion resulting in the enemies list and Watergate, he was a pretty good president.

9. Economically, this country hasn't made any progress since 1910 |
|
We've had some progress in civil rights, but that's about it.
