Faux News ***ALERT***
BULLETIN! ALERT! Just announced on Faux- the Bush Administration has just instructed every state to inspect all their bridges! Boy George is right on top of things. That is, of course, after cutting funds several years ago that were requested for infrastructure. I hate to think what is 'performance' will be like in MN on Sat.

2. As one of my senior Engineering Officers used to say:
"No Shit?"

Nobody could say it quite like him.

4. Heheh!
I, to, have known a few who used those two words to impressive ends, with a peculiar accent and slant, and dripping with sarcasm, mockery, or even good humor.

6. Who's paying for it? Porgie? Or does he expect a volunteer militia of bridge inspectors to
magically appear at the state houses of every state, salute smartly and go to work?

Fucking asshole. He'll manage this bridge shit like he managed NCLB--He comes up with a halfassed idea, and sticks YOU with the bill!!!

11. Republicans wait for a disaster to happen before they do something about it.
9-11.
Rat-infested VA hospitals.
Levees breaking.
Bridges falling down.

They want us to believe that these things are luxuries that we can't afford, but that corporate welfare and tax cuts for the Hiltons are the most important things in the world. They operate in crisis mode and are too goddamn greedy to fund preventive maintenance.

13. The bridges are inspected regularly. The reports already are available.
He should have had them summarized by now.

More platitudes from the Worst President in History.
