    HARVEST TIME FOR REPUBLICANS
    By Peter Fredson
    September 9, 2005
    People reap what they have sown. Well, the Republicans have sown disaster and will now reap profit handsomely by the tragedy on the Gulf from Hurricane Katrina. All the poor people have been chased out of their homes and houses in Astrodomes, trailer parks, church basements and similar places well away from taking care of any property in New Orleans.
    Now is the right time for Urban Development, for the real estaters, (…)

    "A government that terrorizes its own people can never stop. If such a government ever lets the fear subside and rational thought return to the populace, that government is finished." Michael Rivero, What Really Happened
    It’s a good thing President George Bush doesn’t read newspapers or watch TV. If he did, even he could see that people from one end of this nation to the other are rapidly reaching zero tolerance with his bumbling ineptitude each time he is faced with a (…)

  • Chertoff must resign.

    Just heard NPR’s Robert Siegel interviewing Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff. Chertoff suggested that the report by NPR’s John Burnett that 2,000 people without food or water, "living like animals" at the Convention Center in New Orleans, was just "rumours". Chertoff was content to robotically spout talking points about how food and water are getting to their "staging points" — wherever the hell they are.
    Siegel, to his great credit, did not let Chertoff off the hook. "These aren’t (…)

    THIS IS HOW BUSH BRINGS THE TROOPS HOME; BRING THEM ALL HOME NOW
    Army Chaplain Capt. Daoud Agbere, right, a Muslim cleric, prays for an American soldier after he was pronounced dead upon arrival at a military hospital in Baghdad, on Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2004, despite the efforts of Army Nurse supervisor Patrick McAndrew, left, to revive him. The soldier was fatally wounded in a Baghdad firefight with insurgents.

    Big Media has given ample space for administration officials and conservatives to spread falsehoods about relief efforts.
    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.

    This link will spell out just how to fabricate the things needed to get a high level federal job like Mr. Brown has with FEMA. Now if a private sector applicant or federal civil servant applicant will notice, most of their applications state they will be "dismissed" (fired?) for "lying" (misrepresentation) on their application. There must be some part of this Mr. Rove aka Mr. Bush does not understand....... Hmmmm...... (…)

    Based On a True Story
    Stan Cox
    In the past four years, much has been learned about the terrible events that unfolded on September 11, 2001. But a long list of questions remains unanswered. Certainly, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (the "9/11 Commission") failed to provide a theory that explains them adequately.
    The following one-act play illustrates some of those remaining questions without (…)

    CAMELOT, SPAMALOT
    By Peter Fredson
    September 9, 2005
    I realize that most blogs this week are concerned with Hurricane Katrina, and rightfully so. But today I received an e-mail that was so outrageous, so ignorant, and exhibited such atrocious spelling errors that I must remark on it.
    The e-mail purports to be from some enterprise that loans people money, a very serious matter, which surely requires some kind of accounting course and some knowledge of spelling and grammar to be (…)

    Washington - Official United States admonitions against broadcasting images of cadavers in New Orleans floodwaters have prompted charges that America’s media helped cover up the slow United States response to Hurricane Katrina.
    The Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has taken much of the heat for the lack of organisation, asked news organisations not to show pictures of dead bodies.
    US newspapers have published photographs of bodies floating in the city, devastated by flooding (…)

  • Republicans block efforts to amend relief bill, hold vote without providing copy of bill

    by John Byrne
    In the wake of what the Wall Street Journal projected may be the most expensive natural disaster in American history, the Republican Leadership in the House of Representatives limited floor consideration of the $52 billion Katrina relief bill proposed by President Bush and voted to reject any Democratic efforts to amend the bill to include a wider array of relief measures, RAW STORY has learned.
    Democrats said no one had even seen a copy of the legislation.
