This is horrible.

This is what happens when we have no bid contracts given out to friends so they can get rich. This is what happens when there is no oversight. This is what happens when people are afraid to speak out for being labeled a terrorist sympathizer. Say thanks to Bush and Cheny for increasing our debt 4 trillion dollars and putting the money and their and their friends pockets.
