It's all Bush'....no Brown's fault

The press has found a scapegoat: Someone named Brown who was "unqualified" to lead FEMA...

But wait...he headed FEMA during the "year of the Hurricanes" in Florida...doesn't that make him qualified? I don't really know...as I've said earlier: Bureaucracies are slow, and the politicization of this tradgedy is giving the USA a black eye in the rest of the world...

And there is a lot of racism in the reporting about the Bush administration's supposed racism: why does the MSM assume that there were no poor whites living in the area, or for that matter, Native Americans, Vietnamese shrimp fishemen, Indian/South Asian immigrants, or Mexican immigrants? ...Mansur in Toronto noted that the "cannibalism" statment was retracted but not apologized for...Mansur then reflects: "He apparently did not reflect on his words and ask why only "black victims" would turn to cannibalism."

However, like tiny drips over a dam, we are now hearing about the real heroes who risked their lives

LATimes has a story about the radio stations broadcasting during the worst days of the hurricane...

Damaged roads
are still a problem...actually, they have cleared debris from the roads, but the bridges are still out...hmm...maybe this has something to do with the slowness of relief supplies, doyathink?

Nahh...after all, Sean Penn managed to get in (with his publicist) to rescue "40 people"...of course, the many unknown fishermen who did the same at a risk to their lives while winds were still blowing didn't get publicized, but what the heck...don't you know he always is there to represent you poor people?

And New Orleans is in the headlines, but other cities were devestated...Pascagoula had 80 percent of it's homes destroyed...LINK....which is why Trent Lott pressured this hospital ship to go there instead of where the headlines were...

to be continued...
