Here we go again running headlong into disaster.   The Bush administration’s Modus Operandi  has become predictable and obvious when it comes to fabricating a disaster to rally the idiots in Congress and their clueless Lemming Constituents.   How is it that just as we approach election day a crisis that has been brewing for years pops up on the screen as being the worst financial crisis in the USA since the Great Depression and requires immediate attention.    A crisis in which we are being warned that  “we must act now or there might be disastrous consequences for the economy”.   Sound familiar, “we must act now to stop weapons of mass destruction”.  History may well prove the greatest Weapon of Mass Destruction ever unleashed on the world was the Bush Administration.
