    BERLIN - A German military plane carrying 15 tons of military rations for survivors of Hurricane Katrina was sent back by U.S. authorities, officials said Saturday.
    The plane was turned away Thursday because it did not have the required authorization, a German government spokesman said.
    The spokesman, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, declined to comment on a report in the German news magazine Der Spiegel that U.S. authorities refused the delivery on the grounds that the NATO (…)

    Eight Big Lies About Katrina
    In the past week, Bush administration officials and conservative commentators have repeatedly used the national media to spread misinformation about the federal government’s widely criticized response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.

    Vice President Dick Cheney, in Gulfport, Mississippi on a tour of the Katrina hurricane zone, was told to "go fuck yourself" twice on live television.
    During a discussion on hurricane relief efforts, an off camera protester shouts, "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney. Go fuck yourself."
    The camera remains on Cheney while we hear scuffling in the background. Cheney continues speaking.
    CNN’s reporter asks Cheney, "Are you getting a lot of that Mr. Vice President?"

    I am outraged as I read where FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is directing Katrina donations to none other than the Rev. Pat Robertson. This is the same man who broke the law by threatening Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’ life on national TV.
    According to information readily available at Sploid, it states “FEMA has released to the media and on its Web site a list of suggested charities to help the storm’s hundreds of thousands of victims. The Red Cross is (…)

    This may be politically incorrect, but I’m having serious qualms about writing a check for Hurricane relief. The way I see it, I already gave my fare share for the effort on April 15. This is Tax Day, the painful moment where we surrender a large chunk of our hard earned change to the federal government, so they can fix levees and plan for national emergencies.
    President George W. Bush, however, decided to squander this money on tax breaks for Cappuccino Conservatives and (…)

    Another few thousand bit the dust.
    Chalk another one up for the Bush administration. That’ll be President Bush’s long lasting legacy when we look back on the first few years of the 21st Century. Thousands of people killed on U.S. soil because the president failed to protect them.
    There won’t be any admission of guilt, no one to take responsibility, no one fired for screwing up, just lies and spin, and mudslinging.
    You may be familiar with some of that already.
