Yup, Katrina brought out the racists. As I just posted on one of manopeace's threads, the worst racists are those who say different things out of different sides of their mouths. they are the worst examples of ignoramuses who lack any ability for self criticism. they are the most incidiously damaging racists that we have in our society. And, or blogs.
COL, here is a pretty good article at the WashingtonPost Link about the tax cut discussions in Congress. I think it's very telling about the arguments and who the pricks are who support the tax cuts, which would go to the wealthiest of our society. These guys are sick, and need to be impeached, and in my opinion, convicted. They are wrecking this count
Yet another dick sighting. From the Edmonton Journal Link Cheney visit postponed U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney has postponed his visit to Alberta in order to tend to duties at home in the wake of hurricane Katrina. Marisa Etmanski, spokeswoman for Alberta Premier Ralph Klein, says the White House cont

Further discussion of this article from the referrals(some not particularly kind to myself, but what can you do?) thanks for the links, historyishere. I guess the barge theory is rumor, according to the one blog site. As for bloggers not being particularly kind to people, you don't have to tell me abo
True Blue, I did use the term "darkies" in post #3, but just to prove a point. The point being that there are those who post routinely here, I wont mention names (little whip) who is an ex KKKer but still has her mind in that gutter. I was parodying that kind of mindset. I'm sorry if it offended you. I would imagine that those who post here routinely understood my intent. This does point sharply to one thing, however. Not everyone who r
The south is going to hell in a handbasket, and this is what dick is doing. Shouldn't he be ...... like ....... helping the southern tragedy? This kind of speaks for itself. I guess he views the disaster as some kind of financial opportunity..... for himself. Oh wait....... Didn't Halliburton already get the contract to repair the navy yards and oil refineries?
ID, you really are a piece of work.
Very excellent synopsis of events.
The difference between me and some others I guess is that I listen to the experts and look at what they are specifically saying ......... As do I .... and other people re
When discussing how marvelous the economy is doing for america, ask those for whom it's not, as that is really the indicator of a good economy. If the rich are getting richer that does not make for a good economy. Societal issues must be measured by those at the lower ends of the scale, those for whom an improvement would or would not benefit.

It is not uncommon for people who live in cities to rely solely on mass transit to get around, any Emergency Protocols for evacuation should have reflected that. That's one reason I was appauled to find out that Amtrak, the most efficient mass people mover in the area, was allowed to abandon the

The Army Corp believes that the surge topped the levee, washing earth away from the opposite side of levee causing the levee to then catastophically fail. That's true. And one of the reasons that the city was trying desperately to obtain funding was because the levee system was sinking, as much as four
Stardock techies, have you dealth with the Island Dog issue internally, like you told me you would, or was your email just placation?
my comments to Dabe were not meant to insult but for shock value to get her to think about what she is saying Great. But I don't feel like biting. When it comes to the history of the vietnam war, my hat's off to you Dan. You obviously win, hands down. But, at the same token, the only initial
Since there is no "Surplus", why have the tax cuts not been reversed? Not only that, they are working to make them permanent, sans sunset dates. That's obcene.
Have an "Insightful" on me! Thanks, Ted.
Silly me. I'm divorced. I forgot. Whatever.......
Well, I'm sure the duct tape will help with the paranoia. But, please, fill me in on the saran wrap usefulness.
If you really care about the environment, you'll start wearing a pirate outfit to work. I'll dig out my pirate outfit and gear poste haste for tuesday morning's return to work. I do care about the environment. Than
From what I'm hearing there were certainly some stupid and arrogant people who refused to leave their homes. But, there were a host of reasons, some quite legitimate, in my opinion. First of all, many of those people endured Hurricane Camille, and thought well, we endured that one, so we can endure this one. It was a wrong decision, in hindsight, and they are well aware of that, if they survived. Others were warned that if they left, they'd lose jo
-- including Janet Reno At least she, as the AG, was a credentialed attorney, regardless of whether you supported her stance or not. All presidents appoint people who they know will follow their policies. But, dubya doesn't even bother to fill the posts with credentialed people. Not ev
All of this Katrina disaster mess and subsequent discussions leads me to thinking that it would not be a bad idea to start assembling a 72-hour kit for emergency preparedness. I did a google search on "72 hour kit" and got a lot of hits for ideas to get started. You can also buy pre-assembled kits, with stuff packed away in bags, sacks or whatever. Not that expensi
Bush's dick was at the rose garden? Damn, he makes an appearance while I was blinking. I missed it. Are you sure it wasn't a poster board version of him?
Dont get me involved with your squabble. I have not commented on this. I apologize. That wasn't fair.
