Maybe the Saddest Story Out of New Orleans?
Here's an article from Reuters that reports that New Orleans Correctional Officers abandoned their prison, leaving the prisoners locked inside without food, water or electricity.
This tragic disaster will cost us a lot more than money, I'm afraid.

Your Government At Work: Leaping Before Looking Again
If this story doesn't disturb you, nothing will. John Byrne at Raw Story has found that the GOP intends to pass a $52 BILLION relief bill for New Orleans... without letting anyone in the House read it. The House leadership has also denied a measure allowing two hours of discussion of the bill, and they won't let any amendments be made to the bill.
This is democracy in action? I don't think so.

And Now, The End of Civilization...
This story shocks me, and there are a lot of shocking things going on in New Orleans. I just read in another article that the people "sheltered" in the Superdome were actually barricaded in by authorities. They were being contained!
And now the National Guard have been given authorization to "shoot to kill". Is it possible that we will see, before this horrible ordeal is over, a mass killing of Americans by American soldiers on American soil?

What Is Going On In New Orleans?
I just read this chilling dispatch from CNN reporter Jim Spellman, as he describes a situation of sheer hopelessness. Tens of thousands of people without food, water or even information and now some of them are beginning to die.
Something has gone terribly wrong, and it has nothing to do with the weather.

I Have A Big Problem With This
Hollywood is re-writing history (again): this article describes a new Hollywood film about 9/11 planned by Universal Studios, to be released sometime in 2006. This one will be about what supposedly happened on Flight 93, the one that crashed for some reason in Pennsylvania.
Somehow, despite the fact that many questions have remain unanswered about what happened that day, Universal Studios has greenlighted a script that "dramatizes" the whole thing.
They're burying the truth and killing any possible opposition to the official story, regardless of implausability.

This Is Actually Good News
According to this story, our government is giving up the phrase "war on terror" for something that actually says something: Washington recasts terror war as 'struggle' - Americas - International Herald Tribune.
In the article it says General Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the National Press Club on Monday that he had "objected to the use of the term 'war on terrorism' before, because if you call it a war, then you think of people in uniform as being the solution." How about that? They're actually listening to the Joint Chiefs of Staff!
Maybe there's hope for this criminal, treasonous administration after all?
