Bar's Middle Names

The country knows her as Barbara (Pierce) Bush; I think her real full name, though, is Barbara Marie Antoinette (Pierce) Bush. She now claims that her comments were of a "personal nature;" how personal can they be when she said them over the radio??

It's scary that racism is alive and well, and that our dear Smirk's mother apparently has no problem speaking about "those people" and how "scary" it will be to have them in her backyard. Heavens! They're going to skew the ratio of Republicans to Democrats! They'll be on every street corner! But, you know, of course, it's so wonderful for them; they're homeless, but they're in our stadium, our shelters, our homes-- we must be charitable and remember to help those less fortunate than us, even if, *ahem* they were "underprivileged" to begin with. "Those people" just love going through a hurricane, losing their home, their belongings, and in some cases, many of the people they love, know, worked with, played with, etc. A great deal for them, yessir!

What's *really* scary is a lot of those people who can never go back, or choose not to go back, or want to go back but their home is declared a total loss, still owe on their mortgages. They still owe the credit card companies, they still have to eat, be clothed, sheltered, and maintain some kind of level of human existence. If they just happen to realize they are totally at rock-bottom financially and want to declare bankruptcy, I hope for their sakes they do it before October 17. That's when the changes in the Republican-backed sweetheart deal for the banking and credit industries becomes law. It's going to be very interesting (and scary) to see what happens come October...
