Battle of Bull Run

Looks like Bush is losing the Manassas campaign:

Edward Skewes' front and back yards, as well as his home, are peppered with red, white and blue patriotic symbols.

There are American flags in the potted plants on his porch and on his patio roof, in a wreath on the door. A throng of bald eagle statues and other patriotic knick-knacks is scattered throughout the den and living room of the Manassas Park house he and his wife have called home for 35 years.

But the new homemade signs in his front yard are the products of an angry man whose patriotism is more resolute than ever.

"Mr. President, get off your dead ass. Send help now. Food, water !!!!!!" is hand-written in black marker on cardboard. The flag that always hangs in his front yard is upside down, and a sign bearing the name "New Orleans" is attached to it. Skewes, 61, says it is meant to be a sign of distress for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Two of his neighbors have followed suit in their own front yards with simple messages: "I agree."

More here. If Bush can't keep Manassas... he's toast.

I am a UK citizen, and was horrified at the plight of those poor souls left stranded in less than 3rd world squalor while Bush grinned and made quirky soundbites for the cameras.
It was a disgrace.

Let`s hope he is toast.

Love your blog, have bookmarked it so I can visit again.
