What in the world IS going on!!!!!

Good grief. The incompetence running this country is now showing in technicolor!
Birdshot cover-ups, sinking trailers, and in-fighting in federal offices galore! Those shots of brownie snubbing chertov and marching into Bush's office were hilarious! They explain everything!

So why are our reps so sluggish in turning this circus around?
I mean, it's appalling what is coming and will continue to come to light.
Do congress and the senate need to be given steroids or something?

Hi everybody!

and now we're outsourcing port security to foriegn companies.

yes, national security must be a high priority on the mindss of the Republicans.

tho, i suppose the reall quest ion is why is port governance privatized at all? should we have ANY private corporations running the ports whether domestic or foreign, when a private company is accountable to the shareholders, not to the citizens and people? is the gov't so incompetent thayt it cannot have nationalized ports or at least mandated state control? profits are, as always, more important than safety; nat'l security's just a business.

right and what about the process, appropriations committee somewhere chooses to take taxpayers money and contract out to these private corps, regardless if they are fromk Angstland or United AmIrates or what?

How about the Port Authorities?
\we are in a pickle. and the lid is ajar.
