Wait until you get a load of the two mutilated bodies they showed on the news tonight....there was another pic of two bodies in a wheel chair that they deemed too graphic to show...

All in New ORleans

You know, I wonder if they realize the houses they checked that were under water will need to be rechecked?? Some of them have a big x near the attic part. Maybe some people couldn't get that high and are dead in the lower part of the house.

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of thinking going on on any level for this disaster.

I saw the pics of the floating bodies. Totally uncalled for!

Michael Brown sent back to Washington? Hum, guess George
Bush was just BS' ing when two days ago he said that "Brownie
was doing a heck of a job" I'm glad someone clued him in to the
reality.

Like I saw in the LA Times today.....


You don't need experience to be the head of FEMA..


apply!!!

Is it just me ????

Or does the media (especially CNN) seem a mite disappointed that they may not have the body count in the thousands they were expecting?

Well, hurricane Ophelia is heading toward the east coast now so that will give them something else to dwell on for a while. I'm praying she doesn't come ashore myself.

Anderson Cooper, one of my favorite broadcasters was acting like to JERK to the head of the NOPD.


Ambush journlaism??

Accent on the BUSH.....he ragged on this poor guy over and over..


I really have lost any respect for those talking heads.

----------------------------------------


The Lost ANgeles Times ran an article about the levee situation in NO.


Prez JOHNSON had given the green light for the levees to be fixed.

There was a LAWSUIT, AN ENVIROMENTAL LAWSUIT THAT WENT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT in 1977.
It looks like the treehuggers, thesame groups that I had aligned myself with back then, won that suit...


Fast Forward thrity years......the same people who were against that kind of work are the same people railing against the gov't. for their slow response.


I am embarrarssed.

Don't be embarrassed, I was a flower child my own self!!!

One thing I noticed, if a reporter is getting an answer to a question they don't like, suddenly, they have to go and even cut people off in mid sentence. Makes me so mad: ask a question then not let them answer. Just waisting everyone's time. They should just say: this is what we think the news is and don't care if it's right or not. All stations have been doing this.

El Prez will prolly claim that
what he MEANT was:

"Brownie was doin a heck of a Pee-Poor job"...

Note that George never said "GOOD" job!!

If you look CLOSELY at most of what George says ...
You can interpret his position at least two ways -
sometimes more!

[RICHARD]

Because "Brownie" was a pres appointee, we should go back to the SENATE who unanimously voted to put him in and lay some of the blame there.

Two things that come outta this.

First,
Half the country wants to blame the other half.

Two,
The people to blame won't step up to the plate.


America,

Truly is the land of Blame and Lawsuits.

Somewhere there is a bunch of people who "fought the government and won" for the group Save Our Wetlands back in 77.

I hope that they are watching.

I saw a film clip of the Mexican soldiers who came to help.

The trucks were greeted with waves and cheers as they made their way towards LA.


Two guys were cleaning out a street gutter, One using a tree branch as a broom and the other picking up the trash the first one had gathered, another was moving a piece of tin, the only thing you saw was a pair of legs and arms under the metal....

It's not their country, why are they being nice to us?????


-----------------------

And the media still clamors for pictures of dead bodies for the rest of us.

Right, and sometimes we can't interpret it at all.


" We've got a lot of rebuilding to do. First, we're going to save lives and stabilize the situation. And then we're going to help these communities rebuild. The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch." (Laughter) --George W. Bush, touring hurricane damage, Mobile, Ala., Sept. 2, 2005

America is a great place.


We are embroiled in politics, slamming politicos and placing the blame for a natural disaster while the bodies rot in the waters of New Orleans.

For some people do not matter.

It's getting the smell and stench off of their person and placing the dirty laundry on the doorstep of the government.

lolololol,

The OTHER half of the government is pointing the fingers at the half that dropped the ball......


They hope that they can deflect their lack of movement during the
disaster.....

Amazing.

Isn't it wasy to forget that it's one system, and no matter what side you are on it means we ALL FAILED.

For some it's just a matter of being a "D" or "R".

I saw a film clip of a man, at the NO convention center, holding a three week old baby and yelling, "This is a three week old baby, how do they expect us to care for it....."


First of all that child is your responsibility,

You brought it into the world, you are the first line of care for it.

If you DID NOT PROPERLY take the steps to protect that child's health, then you do not deserve to have children.
