Fareed Zakaria...."The Indian Tom Friedman": Another superb column.....He has my vote for the first Indo-American Secretary of State......preferrably in a John McCain cabinet with Powell at Defense.

In his column "Leaders Who Wont Choose" he outlines how this irresponsible and feckless President continues to thumb his nose at reason and logic and continues with his idiotic tax cuts in the face of continuing national adversity.

One could conclude since Americans are the only people on the planet who actually have a negative savings rate and believe in their constsitutional right to live off plastic they certainly deserve a President who also runs the country on a charge card.

Here is another missive from the lunatic right.....Katrina was Gods punishment for

a. College girls showing their titties on Girls Gone Wild videos
b. The three abortion clinics in the Big Easy
c. Electing a Democrat as Mayor and Mary Landrieu as Senator
d. None of the above

Well the correct answer is "d".....According the Don Feder - a "reputed Theologian" - Katrina is Gods punishment on America for supporting General Sharons withdrawl from Gaza.

"Katrina hit New Orleans one week to the day after the Sharon government carried out the forced removal of some 9,500 Jewish residents of Gaza and parts of Samaria. This was done under pressure from Washington. (“I will curse those who curse you.”) On the day Katrina made landfall, bodies were being removed from Jewish cemeteries in Gaza, to prevent Palestinians from desecrating the remains. Israeli bodies were disinterred; American bodies floated in the streets of New Orleans.
· 9,500 Jews were driven from Gaza. Most are still homeless. Roughly half-a-million Americans were displaced by Katrina. Based on America’s population ratio with Israel (about 50-to-1) this is roughly equivalent."

CRONYISM WATCH: Governor Bush has barely recovered from his last boondoggle with FEMA director Michael Brown but here he goes again. He has nominated Julie Myers as head of the INS.

"The Bush administration is seeking to appoint a lawyer with little immigration or customs experience to head the troubled law enforcement agency that handles those issues, prompting sharp criticism from some employee groups, immigration advocates and homeland security experts."
