Under the Headline “Faucet Company Donates To Man Who Lost All But Spigot To Twister” a Florida news station reports:
“To say James Abney lost everything in his rental trailer during a tornado spawned by Hurricane Ivan doesn’t do justice to his loss: the only thing left where his home had been standing was his kitchen faucet, supported by narrow water pipes.
But the lonely faucet became a beacon of hope, towering at sink-level in a devastated trailer park.”
The photographer did a nice job too.
A while ago I mentioned that Bush lied about the growth in discretionary spending under his administration. Well, it appears he’s doing it again.
Bush says: Clinton 15%pa, me 1%pa
The Congressional Budget office says: Clinton 2.5%, Bush 8.2%pa
At the time I noted that Gore got hammered for supposedly lying about all manner of trivialities, but the actual President actually lies about actual issues.
I love this quote from Josh Marshall:
So, it is only thanks to Mr. Bush’s decision to invade that we can now have the certainty we do about how wrong he was about Iraqi WMD.
