hurricane katrina

It strikes me as a rather under reported story, but the Red Cross has declared the Louisiana flooding to be the worst US natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy four years ago. Obama is finally being criticized for seeming rather aloof and unconcerned about the disaster. Will he be criticized...

Let me be the first. FACTS: A direct hit by a hurricane was at the top of the list of things for Brown to take care of. Brown did NOT take care of it. People died even though Browne knew it was likely they would. That is criminal negligence. There is no argument here. He was the head of an...

Remember that ridiculous fake accent speech Obama gave in 2007 to a black audience? Thomas Sowell: Phony-in-Chief: So if Obama fires up a crowd by saying the government hates black people because they wouldn't waive the Stafford act and he himself voted against that act just two weeks...

I had posted here before(oh dear!) but I think I was misunderstood anyway I came back to reveal what happened on another forum about what I posted here. You see on May 27th I predicted that there would be only one storm this summer as that means more and that it would start on my father's death...

Went to the one night showing of this documentary on the flooding of New Orleans tonight. It was completely different from the anniversary of Katrina reruns on the news this week. "The Big Uneasy" The most notable things, The Army Corp of Engineers is one screwed up agency and the people of...

Well from what I have been hearing (from others, I haven't taken the time to watch it yet) Spike Lee's new documentary puts forth a CT I hadn't heard until now. That they stuck bombs in the levees and didn't send any aid for a while because the evil white gubmint wanted to wash out all the...

Bush senses 'renewal' during tour of Gulf region August 28, 2006 BILOXI, Mississippi (AP) -- President Bush returned Monday to the first scene he saw a year ago of Hurricane Katrina's devastation, and declared "a sense of renewal" in the region still struggling to come back from the storm's...

http://www.startribune.com/484/story/401679.html I am speechless. What happened last year's huricane season? Were we not praying hard enough? Jesus busy trying to answer all the prayers to drill in ANWR?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11780382/site/newsweek/site/newsweek/ Hey, at least he didn't say NO had brought the storm on itself; at least he didn't say God was trying to kill innocent children. If one has to blame an imaginary being for the weather, this is one of the better ways to phrase...

Let the spinning begin! http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/03/02/news/katrina.php

I was wondering what folks have to say about this. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11371281/site/newsweek/ Frankly my opinion of the Bush administration has gotten so low, that I really thought that it had bottomed out and might actually go up a little. Maybe confirmation biases were leading me...

During his speech at Jackson Square detailing recovery initiatives proposed to recover those areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, President Bush also made clear his desire to initiate changes to the Insurrection Act: To understand the very limited role that federal troops can play in domestic...

President Bush's former campaign manager and a former head of FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, have been given huge contracts to start recovery work

I gather that some of the vitriol aimed at Bush predates Katrina. But who can blame those feeling angry? It's pretty damn clear that the authorities' response was lacking in every regard. Seems to me that unless they get a few years' warning, they just cannot respond usefully to anything...

http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&name=ViewWeb&articleId=9754 This writer understood in May what could happen and how....but I suspect this wasn't on FEMA or Homeland Security's reading list...

link to story This seems to fall somewhat short of the full independent inquiry requested by Bush's opponents.

Or that's how one news organization called it. Check it. Here's the Houston Chronicle's article on it. Here's the U.K. Times story. I won't bold the inconsistancies in his age or the time the trip took. Jabbar Gibson took a bus, had never driven one before, and luckily managed to...

... the Katrina tripod of catastrophes of preparedness, relief and civil order? Or will they continue their vocation of flying the flag of party above the flag of country?

Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans, Biloxi, and innumerable coastal communities along the Gulf. It's an absolute catastrophe. Some of the accounts I'm reading make me sick. The Christian Conservatives have already blamed the gays. Where are the other usual vultures? I googled "Sylvia...

I was very happy to see the link in another thread about the Audubon Zoo and the Aquarium of the Americas. It was nice to hear that they are okay, but has anyone heard about the New Orleans Museum of Art? I have not forgotten about all the other horrible things that have occured in Louisiana...

I'm pretty sure Katrina won't rank up there with the Tsunami destruction from last year as far as loss of life... at least I hope it won't. But will their be a world response? When is one merited? Flick
