I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Here it comes . . .

. . . the Liberal MSM begins maligning President Bush and his response to the destruction in the Gulf Coast.

When will they admit they just don't like him?

Honestly, even if the President responded 1 second after something happened, Liberals would still say he was too slow.

Yahoo News: Katrina criticisms echo past complaints against Bush---

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Complaints about President George W. Bush's reaction to Hurricane Katrina echo past criticisms over crises like the Asian tsunami or the Iraq war.

Doubters are asking whether he reacted too slowly to the catastrophe, sent enough troops to keep order, or relied too much on rosy scenarios spun by senior aides while New Orleans descended into anarchy.

Some lawmakers and local emergency officials have called Washington's initial reaction "a national disgrace" and assailed the Bush administration as having a too-little, too-late response.

Still, some of the early complaints sounded eerily familiar to what the president faced after the December 26 tsunami that devastated Indian Ocean countries, as well as the aftermath of the fall of Baghdad in April 2003.

There have also been parallels with Iraq: The administration has widely been accused of deploying too few troops to contain widespread violence after the fall of Saddam Hussein because of poor planning.

A similar charge has come from officials in New Orleans, which fell prey to widespread looting while some rescue efforts have been repelled by gunfire.
