"The Tennessean" LTTE: "Tip your hat to this Bush administration, they've covered it all."
President Bush given dictatorial power

To the Editor:

In case you missed it, here it is: If you need interpretation, ask anyone who knows anything at all about anything — they can tell you.

The directive President Bush signed into law on May 9: The president of the United States is granted virtual dictatorial powers in the event of a "national emergency" — which the order broadly describes as: "Any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

Tip your hat to this Bush administration, they've covered it all.

4. 2007 hurricane season just started
If a major storm were to hit the US this season, look out. We wouldn't even get to the official 08 election season.
