Quite a while ago the city of New Orleans requested a lot of money from Bush to help prepare for a hurricane (which was always a possibility apparently) including money to repair levees that badly needed it.
Well, the levees have spoken and the death count is unknown.
Bush said the money had to go to the Iraq war and for Homeland Security measures.
How do you sleep at night George?
Boy I'm sure glad that money went to Iraq...

It's impossible to say exactly what the result would have been had these funds been used for work on the levees. Maybe it would have made a difference. Right now I can't understand why the breaks in the levees can't be filled more quickly. And of course right now the most important concern is the continuing humanitarian crisis that is escalating. Please do whatever you can to help - at the least donate a few bucks to the Red Cross. There will be plenty of time to assess blame (and dodge it, in the case of the Bush Administration) in months and years to come.
"Humanitarian Crisis" indeed.
Jesus, the reports coming out of New Orleans are devastating.
No food, no water (the irony is sick) no medical supplies, no housing- people are living like animals one report said.
People are dying on the street from everything from heart attacks to starvation.
This is a major deal here, this is no joke.
This is a terrible quagmire, in "the best country in the world".
Bush had better step up to the plate on this one big time.
He's been stating the obvious for 2 days.
Let's go, George- people's lives depend on it.
What's going on in New Orleans, and the amount of devastation there, is incomprehensible. It's impossible that this could be happening in this country (or anywhere in the western world) today. And Bush is saying things like, "this will make us stronger in the end". Drop the fucking cliches, Mr. President. There are many, many people who won't be "stronger" because of this. This isn't some sort of test from God, it's isn't a "test of wills" of some sort. It's simply an extraordinarily difficult situation that we must respond to as best as possible.
Approx. 1/3 of the cars in my apartment complex parking lot right now have Louisiana plates. There are probably at least 100,000 people from LA in Houston right now. It's the closest big city that's fully functional at this point.
Michael Moore has written a scathing open letter to George Bush, who doesn't seem to know what to do, like the day those two towers fell.
He's finally pulling his lips off of fundraisers' asses and making his way over to the devastation.
Make sure you bring food and water, Dumbya! Maybe you can hand out some of those cocktail weenies that are served on Air Force One. (You know the ones- the ones Laura pokes with toothpicks and serves with embroidered napkins)
This is only gonna get worse.
There is no God in this situation. There is only urgent help required. Anyone rationalizing this in the name of God needs to be smacked. If any deity holds responsibility it's Mother Nature.
God is mute on this one- and we are witnessing our "human response" in Dubya and his administration.
This is what you get for re-electing this waste of life of a President.
As everybody can see, the people who are living this nightmare are primarily black and poor. This could be the reason that relief and aid isn't arriving so quickly. They aren't "society's best"- let 'em suffer a while! It's good for the character! Makes you tuff!
I recoil in disgust.
This is the "best country in the world"?
If these relief efforts are any indication, that notion is as phony as Bush's reasons for war.

This is a terrible time in America right now. All of a sudden, two Supreme Court posts -- including Chief Justice -- for Bush to fill with anti-Constitution reactionaries instead of just one -- and an unprecedented natural and urban disaster in the heart of our own country being botched -- it's too much.
Bush's criminally slow response to Katrina's devastation -- do people remember the schoolchildren and the story about the goat? -- should be enough to destroy the man. This is a scandal that's costing thousands of American lives and so all of s sudden this administration isn't just destroying other countries but now with the same methods it used in Iraq it's destroying America. In a saner world impeachment proceedings would rapidly be under way. Bush's days would be numbered. How many scandals can happen, how many thousands of lives can be lost, before the spin machine breaks down?
I'm feeling pretty down this morning.
And what a time to think of Labor Day.
The hurricane aftermath proves that this is not a smart country and not one that has either a memory or a vision of even the most immediate future, except where profits are concernned. That's where Americans at the top look ahead: at the dollar signs. That's why Wall Street blossomed after the devastation. Corporate profits ahead. Theme parks. Condos for the rich. And the poor and the people of color will be put into camps. It's getting really gross.
Sunday 4 September 2005
Looking at what has happened since Katrina from outside the US has been unbelievable. If the way this disaster has been handled is the American way that we (the rest of the world) are being brain washed into believing is the best and only way for the future, then God help everyone!
If you don't get rid of Bush now, you never will, he's done more damage to the whole world in the name of "freedom" than any president before him, thousands have died both outside and inside the US yet this bumbling idiot still holds office, how?
Cheers Trev.
One explanation is that our system doesn't allow us to get rid of our governments as quickly as the Europeans do, and that is both a fault and a virtue. The very eloquent parish representative from Louisiana on the Tim Russert show today* said the people at the top involved here should be taken out, now, at once, so things can get going. But that isn't going to happen either. Yet the lack of qualifications is staggering. The FEMA director's previous job was as the president of an Arabian horse organization, and the Homeland Security chief Michael Chernoff's selection -- he himself not even Bush's first choice, but the first choice got caught lying and had to withdraw -- seems clearly to be due to his willingness to prosecute foreign suspects energetically. For more information about this chap, who denied knowledge of anything wrong at the Convention Center when the situation was all over the news all day and who said this disaster was far beyond anything anyone had predicted when in fact many people, including a writer in the Scientific American two years ago, had definitely predicted it -- see the Wikipedia article on him. I am so angry right now I don't know what to do.
Russert began his questioning of Michael Chernoff by asking him if he was planning to resign. He swept it aside. It doesn't look like his magna cum laude from Harvard and his prosecutorial experience are going to help him retrieve black people from rooftops in New Orleans.
In his piece "Looting Here, Looting There," Iraq expert Juan Cole today (September 4) compares the different Bush administration responses to looting in Iraq post Shock and Awe and in New Orleans post Katrina. Iraqis are seeing the contrast too, he says. He also relates the New Orleans situaition to what happened in Falluja. This isn't far fetched at all. Administration officials were referring to looters in Louisiana as "insurgents."
*The words of Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard on Russert's show were the most powerful uttered about the post-Katrina situation today.
Nicholas Kristoff writes an insightful op-ed in the NY Times today inwhich he compares our culture with Japan's. In Japan there is great effort on the part of the gov to include everyone in the cultural fabric he says, while here (and now) our own gov is dismantling that same fabric. The us against them that is part and parcel of our foreign policy has been revealed in the past few days to be the policy here at "home"...sweet home. This isnt really news, but good god, is there nothing that can be done about this guy????.....
Term limits....only 38 months until we can elect a new president...maybe the Dems can at least retake the House and Senate next year.Quote:

The Bush team seemed convinced that private enterprise and the free market are the most effective means of solving problems in society (except for War). Maybe this is a wakeup call now, for them and for those who elected him.
39 months is way too long to wait. But impeaching Bush is difficult with a Republican Congress. The reactionary ideology that some say is spreading is so against government and social services that some people in America actually think it's fine for poor blacks to rot in Louisiana after Katrina. As Juan Cole concluded in the piece I cited a couple of posts up, "Bush cares deeply about the property of rich white people." That's why the US allowed the antiquities museum of Baghdad to be plundered but sent in troops to shoot to kill in Louisiana -- the protection of property -- when it's the property of rich whilte people -- is the highest good. Except that it's even better, the neocons think, to tear things down and build them back up, because that's highly profitable. This was a major stategy in Iraq -- see the writings of Naomi Klein, especially her Harpers 2004 article "Baghdad Year Zero"-- except that the quagmire there has not permitted the bonanza to go forward according to the neocon fantasy.
I've often wondered why the process of impeachment seems taboo, that the offending "Statesman" must be found 1000% gulity on something, that he must be in such a foul universe of criminality that there is no option.
Can anyone even look at the idea of impeachment for more than 2 seconds? Fault and virtue indeed Chris.
It's like the forever-long O.J. Simpson trial: they carp about "due process", "a fair trial/his day in court" and "investigation by the proper authorities" to reach justice.
Beaurocratic cabals, issues stifled, paperwork from Hell, confusion.
This is the norm in Washington.
It's a sideshow now. It's beyond Ringling Brothers.
They say that Americans should be prepared for gruesome images in the coming months. They say the death count could reach as high as 20,000.
I can understand the incomprehensiveness of the destruction but it only takes a second of your life to see that massive relief efforts are needed.
A WEEK AGO.
More deaths on Bush's hands.
More Americans dead because of this administrations' inability to see beyond record-breaking profits.
More reasons to have rage seeth through your body.
This hurricane and it's aftermath should have every single person
making mental notes to themselves about how the government will help you if your corner of the world is hit with oblivion.
It should be clear to everyone now that the government can't save you from Terrorists, can't save you from Mother Nature, can't save you from social security, can't save you from it's woefully sad imperialist stranglehold and indifference to your life.
Sorry, do I sound unpatriotic?
Am I an insurgent?
The shock and awe of these words, which slithered out of that old sack of shit of a hag Barbara Bush, are so chilling I can't describe my disbelief.
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underpriviledged anyway, so this-- (she chuckles slightly) this is working very well for them"
Michael Moore has got an audio recording of her words on his website if you care to hear the evil...
Sept. 24th is the big day.
An anti-war rally will be held outside the White House, with 100,000 people expected to attend.
We haven't seen a rally of this size at the gates of the Prez's digs in how long?
Bush's war is getting even more criticism, with the situation in New Orleans pressing people to ask why all of the National Guard troops are deployed in Iraq when there is desperate need for them at home.
Chris is right: Bush is taking his tried and true methods to the American people now.
Human life is not something he contemplates.
He has no capacity for empathy.
Cheney either. Or Condoleeza Rice, who was shopping for shoes while Americans were dying. (A customer in the store demanded to know what she was doing there, when New Orleans was in "it's first throes" of disaster).
Remember Condi?
She got the memo about Bin Laden attacking the U.S. with planes and then threw it into her rotating file ("rotating file" is office-speak for garbage can).
Where is Cheney? Shouldn't the V.P. be a little more visible?
Why are we seeing more of Clinton and Sean Penn than we are of the NUMBER 2 MAN?
Fucking crucify him.
Chain his ass to an overflowed toliet at the Superdome.
This is a sad police state of affairs, fellow FilmWurlders...
You're right. There isn't much that shocks you nowadays but this is unbelievable. I'm disgusted.Quote:

I haven't been much of a contributor on these political threads, but let's give it a try. I hope no one feels insulted.
I don't see Bush as the problem.
He is only the symptom.
The problem is us, the people of the USA.
I came to this conclusion after the last election.
One could argue his party stole the election in 2000 (at least in my state) or that Gore's campaign "sucked", or the voters didn't know quite who they were voting for in 2000.
Let's face it. The People went to the polls last November, and voted Bush into office again knowing quite well what we were getting.
It's time to look at ourselves in the face and admit who we are as a nation, and ponder what can be done about it. I would bet that if the election is held again in a couple of months the same gentleman is likely to win again.
In response to Justafied stating "maybe the Dems can retake the House...", I'll say that at least the Dems embrace the country's diversity and would keep the country from further regression. But when it comes to issues like corporate welfare and campaign reform, for instance, the Dems are as blind and backward as the Republicans. And none of the top leaders of the party has demonstrated courage and conviction in denouncing the warmongering.
I'm forever condemned to voting for third party candidates who don't stand a chance because the rules are stacked against them. (Although I voted for the Democrat for the first time in 12 years in 2004, as an anti-Bush gesture).
Any thoughts by the more politically astute minds on this site would be appreciated.
Exactly. The economic machine keeps humming and the profits soar. Middle class America is appeased because their 401(k) accounts get bigger. No one gives a thought to cause and effect.Quote:

Well, it certainly wasn't taboo when Clinton was impeached for a little white lie involving getting a blowjob in the Oval Office. That was an impeachable offense, but the massive lying/misinformation effort on Iraq wasn't? And how about Rove apparently getting away with outing the identity of the undercover CIA agent?Quote:

There's a double-standard in our society today, and anyone complaining of a "liberal" media doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.
I completely agree, Oscar. Of course, there were many of us who didn't vote for Bush, but it was unbelievable that he was reelected after all the fiascos of his first term.Quote:

I consider the Democrats to be the lesser (far lesser) of two evils, and it's a matter of stopping the hemorrhaging at this point. A Democrat controlled House and Senate in 2006 is the first step in restoring some semblence of normalcy.
By the way, Oscar, I was in your fair city of Miami this past weekend. The weather was a little dreary (we got a heavy downpour on a trip to Key Largo on Sunday) but it was still an enjoyable visit. I wanted to catch a flick there, 2046 was showing at a theater in South Beach and I thought my friend would enjoy it, but we couldn't fit it in. Which movies theaters in the area do you recommend? My friend lives in the north Miami area.

You're right.

I'm glad you still enjoyed your visit. The weather is glorious from mid-Nov to mid-May. Miami is habitable the rest of the year only because of the invention of air conditioning.
I wanted to catch a flick there, 2046 was showing at a theater in South Beach and I thought my friend would enjoy it, but we couldn't fit it in.
Sounds like you were busy. Maybe next time you visit you have time to have a beer or coffee with me. I'd like that very much.
Which movies theaters in the area do you recommend? My friend lives in the north Miami area.
*The Intracoastal, part of the independent chain Sunrise Cinemas, is the best in North Miami.
*From North Miami, it is a short drive to Cinema Paradiso (just south of downtown Fort Lauderdale), run by the Fort Lauderdale Film Society.
*The theatre on South Beach that you mentioned is the SoBe Regal, the best multiplex in Miami. An exceedingly beautiful building too.
*The Wolfsonian Museum in SoBe and Miami Art Central (also a museum) in Coral Gables have excellent year-long film series.
*The Miami Beach Cinematheque is expensive ($10), has poor projection, and specializes in "marginalia". But where else can one watch films like Todd Haynes' Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story.
*The best place to watch movies in Miami is the Cosford Cinema, located in the campus of the U of Miami. It's a 1/2 hour or so from North Miami but it's cheap($4-6), with great projection and sound, great programming, and free parking. A purist's paradise: no food or drink sold and none allowed.
Me too. It's a deal. I may be back later this fall.Quote:

So apparently Miami doesn't have any "art house" movie theaters, other than the Cosford? That's surprising. Houston's got a couple from the Landmark Theaters chain - each one has three theaters, and it's a nice change of pace from the multiplex. I've seen a few films recently, just haven't had time to post thoughts. I was somewhat disappointed in Jarmusch's Broken Flowers, though. When did he become so solemn?
Best of luck.
OK, I guess the Cinematheque and Cinema Paradiso (among others) would qualify under this category. The Cinematheque in particular sounds interesting - I'll try to check it out next time I'm there. Also interested in seeing the South Beach theater, at least for the decor. Some of the neon in that area can be a little bit over the top, though...but I like all the art deco buildings.Quote:

This is on my mind too JustaFied.
Why is Bush so feared by the media and the public?
Did all his war-mongering and 1984 scare-tactics and terror threats turn everyone into scaredy-cats? Into weak cowering ninnies?
As I said before, the American people should storm the gates.
The "Enemy at the Gate" is gleefully controlling your future, your treasury, your laws, it's a fucking POLICE STATE in the U.S.
But Clinton was pardoned, wasn't he?
He was forgiven for his crime, just like Nixon.
Can you believe that Gerald Ford let Nixon off the hook?
Nixon was run out of office, a bonafide crook, and old Gerald pardoned him!
It's an old boys club, an "old rich man's" leadership.
But when Bush senior was sworn in in the late 80's, even the horrific Nixon said "He's a lightweight. He's the kind of guy you appoint to something".
Bush may be the symptom, but he's taken advantage of the people by playing on their emotions, mis-leading and dis-info-ing
to the point of heartbreak.
It's so frustrating that it almost makes one want to drop out of society and become a vigilante. Live in the hills, honing your sniper skills....Polishing the brass on the jacketed round that will pierce through Bush's soft skull...
OOPS! sorry! Did I say that out loud? I Apologize.
I'm such an INFIDEL!
Hey, wait a minute, you don't even live here do you? What are you getting so worked up about? It's not your fault America is the way it is. Just enjoy your freedoms in Canada, and hope they don't come extradite you for improper thoughts. 1984, maybe...Quote:

I guess I have to wade through the dirty water as well.
Any of us travelers can tell you New Orleans is a fascinating place. Take the St. Charles trolley through the garden district that ends up in Audubon park across from Tulane University. Every house is a work of art. The gardens, the shrubs, the flowers, everything so meticulously done. Ancient trees with hanging moss, tropical birds, and heavy moisture in the air give rise to natural beauty most of the year. That's why its call the Garden District.
As I watched with horror on Tuesday morning, the fly-overs of the city, I kept saying to myself; "It can't be... It can't be!" I sat in my room and wept. My son came in to console me. "What is it, dad?" he asked. "Oh, nothing," I told him, not wanting him upset. "Just the dying of dream." But when he left the room, I cried all the more, not because I'd lost a city, but for those poor people standing there in that muddy water with no hope and no help. I felt helpless, too. All I could do was watch and pray for them.
As the days passed and the misery mounted, my anger turned to fury. Where were the buses? Where were the relief supplies? Where was the guard? Surely they'll be there tomorrow! But they never came. Only when the nation rose up with one voice in righteous indignation did that sonofabitch finally act. Having helped set up field hospitals in less than an hour during combat, I know what could have been done. There were military bases less than three hours away in four different directions. They could have choppered aid in immediately on a Presidential order. Of course, that order was never given. He was too stupid to turn on the television and see the plain truth. His system had failed. He failed the American people when they needed him the most.
Yes I blame that sonofabitch in the White House for all those deaths and suffering. And I hope the nation never forgets or forgives him, too. May it be his undoing, and his curse.

Dubya is standing before us now, on TV, "taking responsibility" for the government's inaction.

You're a sitting duck now for the great American rage, that dangerous rage that pops up every now and then in history, that alters the course of the country's destiny.
But the people are slowly realizing how difficult it is to get rid of this cancer that festers in it's White House of Power.

the first entry is for George W. Bush?- the fucking WHITE HOUSE?

Donahue laid the boots to Bill O'Reilly in this awesome exchange where you get to see just what kind man "Billy" is.
Fuck your "factor" Bill.
You represent the narrow-minded majority of Americans who still think the invasion of Iraq was somehow right.
Man, I wouldn't have had as much patience as Phil.
I would've been fuckin' swingin' at that LOUD, obnoxious, freedom freeloader.
Fists and skull. Rage and Retribution.
The sewage that O'Reilly spews is dangerous and he must be muzzled. He flails in this exchange, and it's because he's talking to a more intelligent man- a man who spent a good portion of his life bringing important issues to the table.
Read it. Please.
http://www.newshounds.us
Well, O'Liely has banned Phil Donahue from his show.
I wonder why?
The REICH-WING still doesn't get it.
O'Reilly (nicknamed DILDO by his friends) actually said
Iraq may have been a tactical mistake in that exchange.
Hmm.
He suggests that the war may have been a mistake but he still wants to "win". He still backs Bush and thinks sending more troops to die is paramount.
What a fucking LOSER!
Jesus Christ Almighty, is this what it's come to?
The supporters of Bush and the war are flailing like fucking turkeys. They stammer and yell and puff out their chests and squawk like their lives depend on it.
I re-read the old Fahrenheit 9/11 threads and I was struck with anduril's profound stupidity again. I thanked him in those threads at the time for placing his comments for posterity and I thank him again- that is some sweet readin'.
He doesn't hang out here anymore, thank God.
Pure pollution- the christian kind, the dangerous kind, the fear-based evil of perspective that gives no thought to the world at large or small- it's all about THEM.
It's not about Jesus. (Certainly in Bush's case- as Righteous Mike Moore said: Didn't Jesus say we'd be judged by how we treat the least among us?- If George was staring down the Saviour the Saviour would be exuding a vibe so concentratedly foul that George would be uncontrollably weeping in about -.oo2 seconds).
But the destruction continues, with the Nazi's doing whatever they want (which it turns out, is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING).
They fish, they shop. They vacation on ranches. They recline in giant plush leather chairs smoking beautiful Cohibas by the Texas moonlight. They sing songs of freedom, like Bob Marley did, because that's all they ever have, you know.
You're doing a fine job, Brownie!
You're Not, George.
You let your own people die under your watch.
First in New York.
Second in New Orleans.
What's the next city to be hit with calamity that will receive your tender loving care? Your "tangible to all warmth and compassion"?
It's all over baby Bush.
You suck HARD, and so do all the ditto-heads who parrot your lies and Police State manifestos.
You've choked the life out of democracy and freedom.
If your own MOTHER thinks she's still of the elite class and can say that the poor are happy in a stadium living in cots with giant florescent lights which never go off, then I wonder just what your thoughts are.
Danny Glover says you hate blacks. I have no reason to believe otherwise. What the fuck have you done to prove that you love them?
I'll tell what you've done to prove it's true (cuz you might have forgotten):
-you scratched 170,000 (look the number up- I'm not making this up) black names off the Florida ballot in 2000.
It's an undeniable fact dittoheads- Database Technologies were paid 4 MILLION to do it.
- you failed to help the poor blacks who had no money or transportation to get out of N.O.
Thus you aided and abetted looting, murder (you can use "death" if you want- the REICH WING hates it when you use too strong a term) and of course starvation and massive stress- the likes of which those residents had never seen.
I'm stating the obvious here. This is truth.
We on the street don't need conspiracy theories or unsupported facts and allegations to say what we've been saying all along.
The Busheviks provide us with all of the evidence we need.
This retarded adminstration has got 39 more months to ignore, lie, and destroy.
We are all watching and seeing the slow death of America.
Ever read "The Destruction of the European Jews"?
Bush is writing "The Destruction of the American People (An 8-Year Journey)"
I'm surprised nobody has jumped on the statement that Bush is supposed to have said that God told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq!
Bush's God given message.
Remember, the majority of the US re-elected him!
Cheers Trev.
You don't believe the Bush's, like the Kennedy's, can't buy an election? Do you really believe all the votes were counted? They lost 10,000 votes in our county alone last year. You don't think they didn't lose votes in other counties, in other states? He barely had 51% of the vote. That's hardly an overwhelming majority.
