Bob Cesca's Blog, 9-2-2005::: "It hasn't been widely discussed yet, but another disaster will strike the victims of Hurricane Katrina on October 17, 2005. And Bush can't say that he didn't anticipate it. He orchestrated it. The president's beloved Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act goes into effect on that day. Interesting that while the bill was passing though the House Judiciary Committee early this year, Democrats attempted to amend the bill to include measures to protect victims of natural disasters such as hurricanes. The amendment to the bill, proposed by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) was voted down without debate. Along party lines.

How can one file for bankruptcy if one doesn't have anything? It's a moot point. Why would some idiot predict another disaster for those who have already been victimized by Katrina? Why October 17th? Cesca didn't hear this on the Weather Chasnnel as a possibility because some hurricanes are forming in the Atlantic at this time. Six weeks is a long time. Who would foresee a disaster of Katrina's magnitude? Noone. What was the argument for voting down the bill and the amendment? Not much reasoning here, Chou. I'm getting very tired of fools trying to make headlines. Let them spread their propaganda in another country. I don't want to hear it. Gossip can kill and that's what this is, only it's in writing.
