The most outrageous, astonishing fact I've heard (even more mind-blowing than 8.3 million Potter books selling in 24 hours) is that our federal government wasted $36 MILLION on unused ice from the Hurricane Katrina disaster. The inconceivable waste was on the man power and resources required for transporting and refrigerating the stuff for two years, then ultimately destroying hundreds of thousands of pounds of it. ICE. I can't believe it.  Frozen water!!  If that's not an impeachable offense, what is?  

Our screwball president gets away with murder in Iraq and waste of astronomical proportions.  I'm afraid Al Gore and my favorite candidate John Edwards, will have STROKES trying to convey common sense solutions to an imbecilic administration and constituency.  (see that's my way of politely calling everyone idiots  )  I should be reading Al's book since I have it out from the library, there's 95 holds on it and I can't renew it.  But, of course, in a true assault on reason, I'm reading the final Potter book. OK,  I'll multi-task and at least scan Gore's book before it's due next week.  (but i still have 400 Potter pages to go! with Death Eaters, dementors & Inferi on my trail!)
