to continue your analogy, is to throw off the skilled crew, the engineers and carpenters to make more room; then pull more and more people onto the ship as it sinks, on the theory that at least they may survive a few moments more and then we can all go down together.  Or maybe a miracle will happen and we'll all get rescued.

To answer the question about who might have done a better job:  Because of the very poor ''reaching across the aisle''  candiate the Republican party put forth - in an attempt to pander to ''moderates'' - I can say only that McCain may have done less actual irreparable harm in the first four months, and probably the rest of his term, than Obama.  The Dems would have fought his every proposal tooth and nail (even stuff they agreed with) just because it was his, and that may have put the brakes on some of this headlong rush into socialism that we see now. 

Venezuela will ship an additional 1,000,000 barrels in the wake of Katrina

Venezuela Embassy, Washington D.C. -- Press Release  -- September 7, 2005: As announced by President Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan national oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) will ship approximately one million barrels of PDVSA-produced gasoline this month directly to the United States in the wake of the horrible devastation and destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina.

This volume is in addition to PDVSA’s normal shipments to the United States.

“Venezuela is privileged to be able to help the United States in this time of need,” said Venezuela's Ambassador to the United States, Bernardo Alvarez Herrera. “We see ourselves as a compassionate people and hope that our efforts will help cope with current market needs of the U.S. for gasoline, and provide some immediate relief to the victims of this horrific natural disaster.”

Four additional shipments of gasoline, totaling over 960,000 barrels, taken from storage and diverted from other customers, will be sent to and distributed by PDVSA’s wholly-owned US subsidiary, CITGO Petroleum Corp (CITGO) and will supplement PDVSA’s previously scheduled shipments to CITGO in September of 1.2 million barrels of petroleum.

Each of the four additional gasoline shipments will be sent from Venezuela to CITGO during the following time frames:

September 14-16, September 23-25, September 28-30 and September 29-October 1.

With shipping time from Venezuela to the US Gulf Coast only four-five days, these shipments from Venezuela will arrive much more quickly than cargoes from Europe, the Middle East or Asia and, hence, will be able to meet US needs that much sooner.

PDVSA is the fifth largest provider of petroleum products in the world and the third largest provider to the United States. During the last year, Venezuela has occasionally been the largest supplier of oil to the United States, surpassing Saudi Arabia, Canada and Mexico. It exports 95% of its hydrocarbons, 57% of which are earmarked for the United States. PDVSA’s oil refining capacity globally is 3.3 million barrels per day.

Ya'll complaining about welfare when it only compromises about 12% of your tax dollars being spent - when, I bet dollars to donuts - ya'll get the "earned income credit" which is a kickback on tax returns which amounts to more than you paid.....WELFARE!  Don't cry to me about supporting other people............witless greed all the way down to the bottom of the barrel.

attacks?  Hippocrite.  (A hippo crossed with a hypocrite). 

insults, are we now?  Did you read Wally Lamb's book "She's Come Unhinged?""  A good read.

not allowed on this board. Stop immediately.

not allowed on this board.  Stop attacking me personally with your imagining what I have or don't have in my work area.  Stick to the issues.

This has nothing to do with this conversation.  What this person makes and why they make that is none of our business.  The point was that she didn't live beyond her means and doesn't want a handout and that right there makes her a heck of a lot better than a lot of people. 

for an organization operating under the pretense of religion molesting children.  Not only did they do it, they obviously condoned it by hiding the fact.  I must be nice to be a religious -- it's such a blinding experience.  You don't have to see the world as it really is.  You can just make assumptions based on your religion. 

I actually commend you on adopting children.  I do, however, wish more people would adopt children in this country.  I think it's a little bit of a double standard when one would go overseas to find a child to suit their desires and at the same time condemn this country over social issues.

And since you're waiting.....

When you go to this page, don't change the criteria under *child profile* to look for the perfect child, just go to the bottom of the page and hit *search.*  I came up with 3466 children waiting for a home -- and that's just out of one agency.

If a conservative talked about an African-American woman like this we would be called racists and even worse.

If all you have to criticize is her shopping habit then you really have nothing to criticize.

How is this considered effective and balanced political debate?
