...or not
Carnival Cruise Lines said Wednesday the federal government has asked whether its cruise ships could be used as emergency shelters or help Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in some other way.
The world’s largest cruise line said that although “to undertake such an endeavor would involve many complicated issues, we are actively taking a look at it."
One of said “issues” being having to repair those ships from the water-line up. [see condition of Superdome] vis:
“To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, [all this looting is] an opportunity to get back at society,"

Robert F Kennedy JrNow we are all learning what it’s like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence. . . . Our destructive addiction has given us a catastrophic war in the Middle East and--now--Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children.

the mind boggles
Speaking on A-B-C’s `Good Morning America, Mayor Ray Nagin says it could be 12 to 16 weeks before anyone will be allowed back in [to New Orleans]. Besides the flooding, he says he’s concerned about disease issues because of dead bodies in the water.
Governor Kathleen Blanco tells A-B-C that looting is also a severe problem but the focus right now is on survivors.
...It could take a month just to pump out the water.
That’s December or January—of 2006!
Since the Red Cross has had, shall we say, some clouds on its reputation, and I don’t see GHWBush and his side-clownkick with the cigar heading out on a road trip anytime soon, I’m wondering if y’all know of a reputable outfit involved in disaster relief in the Soggy South?
Racism Round-Up
shocking, I tells ya!
Excellent piece on the shameful disenfranchisement of Imaginary-Americans:
David Becker, formerly a trial lawyer for the Justice Department, wrote a recent commentary for the Washington Post, entitled Reviving Jim Crow?, in which he called the Photo ID law “one of the single most discriminatory pieces of voting legislation of recent years.”
Photo ID is discriminatory.
Photo ID is the new Jim Crow.
Photo ID is the Klansman in your pocket.
Cuz heavenonlyknows, it is completely impossible for anyone with any black blood whatsoever to get a Photo ID.
And in further news:
“Lil’ Kim totally freaked out on the attendant. Some first-class seat mix-up. Called the agent a racist and pulled a ‘Do You Know Who I Am?’
“The attendant had no idea and couldn’t have really cared less...."

An Open Letter to CINDY
from the perspective of a Rational American
By Brantley Smith
Posted On August 17, 2005
Ms. Sheehan,
By your actions over the past two weeks it is clear that you missed an important aspect of Civics 101: With rights come responsibilities. You certainly have the right to voice your opinion against the war in Iraq and the President’s policies. You even have the right to camp outside the President’s home in Crawford and demand he meet with you. Your status as a mother who has lost a child in the war also gives your words and actions a credibility and a larger audience than otherwise would be the case. Now that your supporters have given you a broad forum from which to be heard, making you a national figure, its time you considered your responsibilities to all of us. I have a daughter set to deploy to Fallujah in two weeks and I have a serious concern with how your irresponsible and short sighted actions might impact on her. She is, after all, a volunteer, like your son, and she is going in harm’s way because she believes it is her responsibility to protect your rights and freedoms.
Well-meaning people like you always seem to forget the law of unintended consequences and in your vanity and arrogant self-righteousness never bother to think through what it is you are trying to do versus what you may actually accomplish. I am here to inform you, Ma’am, that you will not change the policy of our government by sitting outside Crawford making a spectacle of yourself in the name of your rights to free speech; what you will do is provide more propaganda for our enemies and cost the lives of even more brave and selfless American warriors. How long do you think it will be before you become a star on Al Jazeera? For all I know, it may have already happened. One thing is certain, though, and that is that your actions and words will further embolden a ruthless and evil enemy and more American blood will be shed and some of it will be on your hands. I pray that my daughter will not be one of them. If she is, then I will hold you and those like you partly responsible. Yes, my daughter’s fate will depend mostly on her own courageous decision to serve, but only the most naive among us can deny the impact our own words and actions here in America have in a world grown smaller by the revolution in communications technology.
I am sure you believe that you are serving some great cause by putting our servicemen and women in more danger and that you can, by your irresponsible exercise of free speech, help end a policy you disagree with. Your emotion may be compelling but the reality is that you will not set in motion any process that will change or undo what has been done. The war will go on because to end it now would dishonor the sacrifice of all of our fellow countrymen who have died in the cause of fighting terrorism. Rational Americans will not allow that. Too much is at stake. Unfortunately, shallow and irrational ones, such as yourself, will continue to put the lives of our sons and daughters in danger by aiding and abetting an enemy who sees propagandizing in the mass media as its main weapon in a war it could otherwise not win standing on its own wretched and evil justification of radical Islam, or by force of arms. You, Ma’am, have joined forces with an evil you neither understand nor apparently have tried to comprehend. You direct your anger toward our country while the enemy plots to kill and maim the innocent. You make a mockery of responsible free speech while thousands of young men and women fight desperately to preserve your safety. Instead of honoring your son’s sacrifice you are inspired to comfort an evil enemy.
You clearly do not understand the challenge we face as a nation and have not tried to put it in historical perspective. It is a sad fact that it is those of your thinking that have led us to where we are today. Decades of appeasement to these haters of everything we hold dear has cost thousands of American lives from Beirut to New York and in dozens of other forgotten places. Remember Lockerbie? The Achille Lauro? The USS Cole? We as a people were dragged into this war, much like December 7th, 1941, and we must fight and win it wherever the enemy hides and against whomever would support him. Make no mistake about Iraq. It is both a legitimate and crucial campaign in this much larger, global war of radical Islam’s making. These people hate us for who we are, not what we have done. We did not bring this on ourselves, as many would have us believe, by our policies and actions abroad. We brought this on ourselves in 1775 when the Founding Fathers embarked on a course of freedom, tolerance, and liberal democratic and social ideals. These haters of all we hold dear strive to destroy forever a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” that Abraham Lincoln hoped would never “Perish from the earth”. They would replace it with an oppressive world theocracy unlike anything modern history has ever seen for its ruthless disregard for personal freedom and liberty. If more appeasement is your answer for an alternative policy, spare us. We have suffered enough from cowardice and inaction.
An historical analogy screams to be let out here. It is one of two men, both named Chamberlain. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a school teacher turned soldier in the American Civil War, found himself in the crosshairs of history on a warm July day in 1863 on a small hill in Pennsylvania. Commanding the 20th Maine Regiment on the extreme Union left at Gettysburg he was in a most perilous position. Should he fail to hold against a strong Confederate attack, the Union could be lost. You see, he was serving in an increasingly unpopular war at home against a resurgent enemy, and for a President fighting for his political life. Colonel Chamberlain, stoic but determined, refused to yield. His small regiment held against an onslaught of Confederate attacks, an action many historians believe turned the tide of the war. He was later awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The other half of this analogy focuses on Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of Great Britain in the years preceding World War II. His story is widely known. Through his policy of appeasement and a lack of moral courage, he handed Adolf Hitler much of Europe. Which side of history have you chosen, Ma’am?
Your son died in the service of freedom and my daughter will go in harm’s way to protect and preserve it. Honor their sacrifice, Ma’am, by exercising it responsibly.
I will pray with you and I will grieve with you but I will not stand by silent while you needlessly and arrogantly endanger the life of my daughter and her comrades in arms. Please bless us with your silence and go home.

Live from Crawford
Beth reports on her quest “to retake something that is being used by someone who had no right to claim it”
CINDY Angels Love Meeeee [not you] SHEEHAN: “... and I know that they are in heaven and I know that that’s why this movement is growing because we have tens of thousands of angels behind us that are supporting us, that are saying, “Well you know we died and that was really crappy, but we hope that our deaths are going to make the world a better place,” and it’s up to us to make sure that it does."
Spurred on by that presumptuous statement and the calumnious cooption* of the names of all of those KIA in Iraq, Beth and a friend travelled to “Camp Casey” to retrieve the names of loved ones from a roadside ditch.
I couldn’t help but wonder how all of the [Camp Casey] protesters could camp out on the side of the road for 5 weeks… Don’t they have jobs, responsibilities, lives?
...it’s not that Camp Casey looks more “organized”, per say… but they do look like they’ve done this a time or two. Professionally printed signs, flyers, a shuttle… Camp Reality (and Camp Qualls) was more of a gut response to what they viewed as a dishonor- homemade signs, no central organization. Perhaps it’s because of my own personal bias, but… the Left has a ready-made protest organization, ready and willing to jump in at a moment’s notice. The Right, for the most part, doesn’t protest- we’re not angry all the time.
The camp across the road—and across a wide perceptual divide—from ‘Camp Casey’ is called Camp Reality; “one of the signs at Camp Reality was right- ‘Camp Reality- and, yes, sometimes it bites.’”

*It is disrespectful not to take someone at their word. It is disrespect in the extreme to impugn to those who cannot speak for themselves. We, no one of us, can know the thoughts of the Fallen; we must take their word as expressed in their behavior. They volunteered for service. Many volunteered to go to combat. Some volunteered to go into extreme danger; some for their mission, some for their compatriots—all for their country. Their behavior is their beliefs made concrete and that is what we can know of them. It is that to which we respond; all else is projection.

Choose Your Song -- Choose Your Reality!
I’ll be Magenta
It’s astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll. ....With a bit of a mind flip
You’re into the time slip.
And nothing can ever be the same.It’s just a jump to the left.
And then a step to the right.
With your hands on your hips.
You bring your knees in tight.
But it’s the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.Let’s do the time-warp again.
Let’s do the time-warp again.
=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they’re red, white, and blue
And when the band plays “Hail to the Chief”
They point the cannon right at youIt ain’t me, it ain’t me
I ain’t no senator’s son
It ain’t me, it ain’t me
I ain’t no fortunate one
I feel **much** safer, today
"let’s try it out on the morons; they won’t mind
Moron Co CA Golden Gate Ferry passengers will be screened for explosives beginning Monday in Larkspur as part of a pilot program that is the first of its kind in the nation.
Under the program, initiated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration, all passengers will be handed a strip of paper [which] will be able to pick up trace evidence of explosives at the touch of a hand…
“I think people will be very accepting,” Brown said. “I don’t think there will be any problems.
Yes, because more terrorists want to live in Moron County than any other area in the US.
“Moonbats verry verry accepting of our cultural diiiiferences. We like that very much—and the coffee is good.” said Achmed al Ikillallyouinfidelfools.

"Cindy Sheehan: a true American hero who ignited a peaceful democratic insurgency"
Citizen Sheehan and her fellow travelers
Once again, Karl Rove has let the dogs out.* ... vicious campaign to maul Citizen Sheehan is in play. Instead of answering her questions - the right wing media hacks are focusing on ... her ideology… [?!??!]
*["whooeez in de White House ... booof, booofbooof...]
Erm..... uh.... *blink*blink blink*
[...talk about your midget pr0n...]
Moving right along.... Bushies do a drive-by in a hot ride:
Saddr’n Cindy City has become a real commuuuuuuuunity in the short weeks she has occupied her ditch along the Crawford roadside, with the full panoply of human activities; eating free ice cream, drinking free bottled water, sleeping, pooping [oy the pooping] making friends, singing Kum-bay-ahhh, getting married… er....
Yep—gettin’ hitched in the Texas summer sun. “Oh, Lord, Kum-bay-ahhh...”
Gimmme that chain saw—one quick vrrrrroow would fix up this Giant Puppet Head Hand just fiiiiine…
These are some of the names of the troops hijacked by Mother Superiority Cindy for use in the PR Campaign Against America. They were later removed, at the behest of their families, from the display.
Here she is, Our Lady of the Tinfoil Hat
CINDY SHEEHAN “blogging” at DailyKos: I have been silent on the Gold Star Moms who still support this man and his war by saying that they deserve the right to their opinions because they are in as much pain as I am. I would challenge them, though, at this point to start thinking for themselves. Iraq DID NOT have WMD’s; Iraq WAS NOT linked to Al Qaeda and 9/11; Iraq WAS NOT a threat or danger to America. How can these moms who still support George Bush and his insane war in Iraq want more innocent blood shed just because their sons or daughters have been killed? I don’t understand it. I don’t understand how any mother could want another mother to feel the pain we feel. I am starting to lose a little compassion for them. I know they have been as brainwashed as the rest of America, but they know the pain and heartache and they should not wish it on another. However, I still feel their pain so acutely and pray for these “continue the murder and mayhem” moms to see the light.
Indeed.

We Are Known by the Company We Keep
butt for the fat farm....who else?
CINDY “I’m a SuperStar!” SHEEHAN has returned to Crawford TX, like the vultures to Hinckley Reservation ...
Seems like it was a tough trip for Our Lady of the Media,
...but now she’s safe in the arms of those who adore her. *urp*
The media beatified Piece Mom has returned just in time, too!
Looks as though The Reverend Al Sharpton will be joining CINDY “Moral Superiority” SHEEHAN in Crawford to “lead a prayah vigil” on Sunday. [wait, whaaa?... Cindy isn’t black. oh, yeah—they both hate the JOOOOOOOOOs. got it.]
Also coming to the party is a little outfit known as Stormfront. But oopsie—they’re a little miffed as they believe they were the first outfit to oppose the Iraq war—being, as it obviously is, all about the EVIL JOOOOOOOOOOOS—and they think CINDY, CodePinko, MoooveOn, et al have stolen their thunder. Hmm; I wonder if they will obey the Crawford Peace House Rules about always behaving “nonviolently in word and deed” and “never carrying a weapon” or “any alcohol or illegal substances” in Crawford. Yikes—black leather and camo in all o’ that Texas heat—whew!
CINDY speaks: “...maybe if we had really stopped Vietnam, Iraq wouldn’t have happened ..."
"I’m thinking, I’m thinking probably, probably the country is kind of going to take me at my word from now on."
Oh, yeah. We’ll do that; indeed. Like fershure.
[ya don’t think she’s slightly ‘todded, do ya? ...ever hear her talk?]
BTW, CINDY, why didn’t you mention that President Bush had Deputy Chief of Staff Joe Hagen and National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley meet with you on the first day you set up ‘camp’ in the ditch? For 45 minutes? Interesting, that.
Well, never mind. We wouldn’t want silly facts to interfere with the CINDY Bring Back The 60’s ROAD TOUR, now would we? Yes, indeedy—CINDY will set out on a bus tour of the nation this September 1 - 24, ending in Washington DC where they will set up a permanent vigil. Clearly not as glamorous, nor as well thought out as expert Jihadi Jane’s veggie-powered bus tour set to begin in the Spring, CINDY will have to learn, the hard way for a Cahleefohrneeiah Guurl, what a DC Winter is like.

For those who’ve missed it, this is Casey Sheehan
