I must, I must pass this on...

Pinched from pegkerr, suricattus and others:

The White House press secretary is asked:
What's George W. Bush's position on Roe vs. Wade?

He replies:
The President really doesn't care how people get themselves out of New Orleans.

Quote of the day:

California has been hit by significant quakes about every 15 years over the past century. Experts say there's a better-than 60 percent chance that a quake with a magnitude around 6.7 will hit Southern California or the Bay Area within decades.

"The reality is when you have a disaster of that proportion, you need the federal government," Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Wednesday in Washington, where he was meeting with federal officials. "I think the question is, is the federal government prepared to provide the resources that we need? I think that, clearly, by what we've seen in Louisiana, the jury's out."

Where has this man been? Can ANYONE doubt that our ability to handle a crisis is in the toilet? Obviously the American people handle crises much better than the American government.
