In Katrina’s wake: “By executive order, [the Bullshitter-in-Chief] has suspended the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, which mandates that workers on federally funded construction projects must be paid the prevailing wage in the region. … But federal contractors can now pay less.”
LOOK TO THE LORD
When God in his inscrutable way
Sends down another calamity,
George W. and cronies say:
Why waste an opportunity?

A LAND TWICE BLESSED
Dick Cheney’s got his underground lair,
Secure from floods and fire,
While in the national House of Prayer,
We have the overground liar.
— Leon Freilich
