And now, a word from the First Mother

"...so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them." --Barbara Bush, speaking about Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Houston

Wow. It never occurred to me to think of the hurricane evacuees as fortunate -- here I was being all sad and gloomy that so many people lost their homes, their livelihoods, friends and family and neighbors and pets and treasured heirlooms and then had to endure days of desperate fear, hunger, thirst, sleeplessness, filth and absolute neglect... thanks for the perspective, Bar. And you people sleeping on cots, chin up -- see how lucky you are? I mean, what luxury accommodations. You have it so good now that Bar won't have to feel guilty about not opening up the Kennebunkport palace to evacuees for the next few months. So y'all be grateful, m'kay?

Any of that cake left over from last Monday?
