WARNING politics, again.

An earlier draft of Mr. Bush's radio speech that was delivered 6/16/06:

Bush: New Orleans Iraq must know it won't be abandoned


It was important for the Iraqi people of New Orleans to know after three hundred years of existence war that "America will not abandon them after we have come this far."

I traveled to New Orleans Baghdad to personally show our nation's commitment to a our precious heritage free Iraq, because it is vital for the people of Louisiana Iraqi people to know with certainty that America will not abandon them after we have come this far," Bush said in the radio address.

The challenges that remain in New Orleans Iraq are serious.

* * * * *

OKAY, to BE FAIR, President Bush flew into New Orleans on 6/10/06 and promised to help them.

He vowed to rebuild the levees and not let those nasty congresspeople cut the monies. Actually the speech was similar. **

That's his schtick: show up for 1-6 hours and vow not to allow anyone to cut the support and the funds.

So really, the basic questions that remain are:

  1. What funds? How many generations does he plan to rob for these ten-minute fly-by promises he's making?
  2. When's he going to fly into Afghanistan and make this speech?
  3. Has he started writing his Promise to (destroy and) Rebuild Iran Speech yet?

**Glad to hear he did that for New Orleans. Seems appropriate because it's part of the actual country of which he is president.

from my dailykos diary, which also had an article from Picayune which I won't bother putting here.

    This gave me a good laugh, even though it rings so freakin' true. I'm a NOLA native - so I guess it's ok to laugh?!

    (btw, I got here through the handy "next blog" button on blogger. what a coincidence)

    Hee hee.

    Yeah, I'm waiting on that Afghani speech too. And waiting. And waiting.

    (Sigh. Does Bush hate me enough to make zmdwwvmj the verification word for this post?_

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
