    BUSH MISSING SPEECHES
    By Peter Fredson
    A Slight Satire
    September 5, 2005
    Due to the annoying interruption of GWB’s vacation by the wrath of God in the Gulf Coast, Mr. Bush will be unable to give some of the speeches he had prepared to enlighten the American public on the State of the Nation, particularly in Iraq.
    Therefore I have taken the liberty by virtue of divine guidance to give the main excerpts from the tragically missing speeches so people can tell what GWB was thinking. I (…)

    Missing VP raises health questions again
    by Greg Lloyd Smith
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — (OfficialWire) — 09/05/05 — Is it just me or is someone missing? Thinking out loud, has anyone noticed that U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney has not been heard from recently? Oh, I know, he’s on vacation, but no interviews, no photo-ops, nothing. I would have thought that we should have heard his take on the recent debacle in New Orleans or at least the party-line about how the government is doing ’all that it (…)

    Last September, a Category 5 hurricane battered the small island of Cuba with 160-mile-per-hour winds. More than 1.5 million Cubans were evacuated to higher ground ahead of the storm. Although the hurricane destroyed 20,000 houses, no one died.
    What is Cuban President Fidel Castro’s secret? According to Dr. Nelson Valdes, a sociology professor at the University of New Mexico, and specialist in Latin America, "the whole civil defense is embedded in the community (…)

    Never in my wildest nightmares did I ever think that I would hear the word refugee used in relation to the citizens of the United States of America. But, thanks to Hurricane Katrina, our worst nightmare has come true.
    Some may say "I cannot believe this is happening to us" and my reply to them is similar situations have happened across the globe for a very long time and it stands to reason and given the stupidity of this government, our time would come.

  • Budget cuts delayed New Orleans flood control work By Andy Sullivan
    5 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Andy Sullivan
    Bush administration funding cuts forced federal engineers to delay improvements on the levees, floodgates and pumping stations that failed to protect New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters, agency documents showed on Thursday.
    The former head of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the agency that handles the infrastructure of the nation’s waterways, said the damage in New Orleans probably would have been much less extensive had flood-control efforts been fully (…)

  • Where is Cheney?

    Has anyone noticed that Dick Cheney has not been interviewed or heard from.
    yes Bush runs this country, but he also has a right hand man- Vice President Cheney.
    Is it me or have I missed something here.
    So I googled his name to see if he made some sort of show of support or denouncement of this tragedy and all I could find was articles about him and oil meetings in Canada and other places.
    In fact all the other news links are about him and oil.
    What’s really going on?

    Mainstream media ignores negative news to aid Bush administration
    by Brian Richards
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — (OfficialWire) — 09/04/05 — In the words of Gomer Pyle-Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. Just Google the name [Safia Taleb al-Suhail] for news and you will discover that very few members, if any, of the so-called mainstream media consider this lady’s most recent quote newsworthy and frankly, that’s newsworthy to me.
    You may recall her-she was the Iraqi woman George W. Bush exploited (…)

  • While Bush fiddles, New Orleans dies

    This is a review of the performance of George W. Bush in tight times in this nation. It might explain the single solitary most catastrophic collapse of American government in all of our times. Mark ye well. This was the week when we turned a major American city into Haiti, and racism put its hand out and started to choke a nation, and it may not let go.
    With the water coming from the sky and the bottom of the sea, driving with such ferocity that a major American city, New Orleans, followed (…)

  • Declaration of New Orleans
    5 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    A Declaration of The People of the United States of America Concerning the Present Crisis in the City of New Orleans.
    In the name of the People of the United States of America, we declare:
    That for the last four and a half years the President and his administration have served the interests of a few wealthy citizens and not the interests of the American People.
    That he has acted with contempt for the People and for the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
    That an edict of (…)
