    9/05/05 "ICH" — — If you’re not pissed off, you’re not paying attention.
    George Bush is going to go down in history as the President Who Destroyed America.
    Oh sure, there were problems before he ever took office. Every nation has problems. But in the year 2000, the USA was at a fairly high point. The economy was growing. Science was moving forward. International relations were fairly good. The future looked bright. And then, an election was rigged, and a "President" who was never (…)

  • ’Katrinagate’ fury spreads

    By Gabrielle Chwallek
    Washington - "For God’s sake, are you blind?," a woman shouts at the head of the federal emergency management agency (FEMA), Michael Brown.
    "You’re patting each other on the back, while people here are dying."
    The woman is not a victim of Hurricane Katrina. She is a reporter with US television network MSNBC who is so affected by the misery she has witnessed she can hold back no longer.
    "Katrinagate" is the term being used by the media to describe the biggest (…)

    ST. MICHAELS, Md. — They’ve grown used to having a secretary of defense in their midst — the way his weekend estate is tucked behind a bend in the road, how he takes casual walks tailed by dark SUVs. Now, residents of this Eastern Shore retreat are preparing for someone even bigger to buy a house down the road: the vice president.
    "I’d heard it was going to close either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week," Carroll Hurley, a funeral home owner, said Saturday, seated with his breakfast gang (…)

  • White & Black Alike, Unite Against The Bush Criminal Regime

    We have been spoon fed a pack of lies from day one - this apparent willful campaign to mislead the public is very deep, so far reaching, and if not understood by the general public, could ultimately lead to full martial law being declared across the United States.
    Regardless of our race, color, or religious beliefs, we must all come to understand the crimes that our evil "leaders", their military personnel and a corrupt media have brought upon this country and its people. We are now (…)

  • To support the victims of Katrina, do NOT give to “Operation Blessing”

    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 (…)

  • Bush’s Death Tax

    by Wayne Besen
    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 (…)

  • Seems like More People Died than Prospered under Pres Bush’s Leadership

    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.
    “I (…)

    "You know the year of 1900-that was 60 years ago/when death come howling on the ocean/death calls, you gotta go"—Tom Rush, Wasn’t it a Mighty Storm
    by Daniel Patrick Welch
    "Galveston had a seawall, just to keep the waters down. But the high tide from the ocean spread the water over the town." The worst hurricane in US history saw almost 6000 people drowned in Galveston, Texas a little over a century ago, in a human tragedy immortalized by Tom Rush’s mournful 1960 ballad. But it was an (…)

    The Frankenstein Chronicles are a series of letters written by me on March 03, 2003, as letters to the editor and submitted to the Conway Daily Sun. The War started shortly after I sbmmitted them and they were not published. I am now posting them as Web Research Documents (WRD) and hope that they elicit a response, from web users, as a topic of interest deserving of further research and action.

  • WHAT A SICK JOKE: BUSH TO LEAD ’INQUIRY’ INTO KATRINA FIASCO SO HE DOESN’T GET THE BLAME

    US President George W Bush says he will lead an investigation into how the Hurricane Katrina disaster was handled.
    "I’m going to find out over time what went right and what went wrong," he said in reply to criticism that the authorities were too slow to respond.
    The US Senate is to hold two inquiries of its own into the disaster which hit the Gulf Coast and New Orleans.
    New Orleans’ last residents are being urged to leave the swamped city as fires add to the hazards there.
