It's ok to be outraged at a Democrat, I won't hold it against you. And the incompetent party hack in charge of FEMA who fucked up the response, and the fucking moron running the executive branch of our government who totally completely duffed the response to this massive clusterfuck, and the idiots who stripped FEMA budgets to pay for imagined terrorism threats that never materialized, in the process making it impossible to respond to a massive, predicted disaster to the national economy (not to mention all those random floating corpses), and wait, who sent the LA national guard where? If you post bullshit like the above, expect to have it panned. republicans can expect this kind of reception these days. Well, I would be interested how many of you will change your tune as more information becomes available. I never hinted that your attack on the LA governor was wrong, but rather incomplete, she's not the only one by far who should be shot. Sorry about the tantrum, it was written after the anonymous cowardly troll below. I don't give a flying rat turd if it's liberal or conservative or whatever else not-worthy-of-cal-grad undifferentiated third-rate label you put on it. If you are going to be dense about it and imply nonsense, go ahead;
Apparently you are beyond actually _reading_ what people write before throwing a major tantrum, though. gori, gori, lyubov' tsyganki, Lyubov' krasavitsy smuglyanki, gorit nad nami sila vlastnaya, gorit odna lyubov' prekrastnaya ... From the preliminary information I have, I can see she was not nearly decisive enough, despite a few days' warning. As for the 'sobbing woman' comment, have you seen some of her press conference footage? FEMA and homeland security morons failed rather laughably also.
html \_ I am talking about my impression of the LA clusterfuck which resulted in no small part from the governor's failure to act early and decisively. Obviously, I don't have all of the details yet, although I am educating myself on the situation.
pagewanted=print \_ Yeah, because I am incapable of generating an original thought, and just mimic my Dark Neocon Masters. I don't remember you being so idiotic when you were hanging around hoserchat.
pdf (Dated 28 Aug 2005) \_ I blame her for not being related to the President and for not being in charge of a swing state during an election year. The same FEMA that's getting it's ass handed to it by everyone for reacting so slowly is came to the overwhelming rescue of Florida after each of the four hurricanes that hit in 2004, even declaring counties not hit as disaster zones. I will never point a gun at anyone in anything but self-defence. You, on the other hand, have gone totally off the deep end. Nor will I ever go looking for a fight on purpose unlike certain other psychopaths. I will, however, gleefully pound the living shit out of your scrawny little ass if you ever so much as go "boo" at me in person.
Other than this reply, nothing below the reply to Eli is authored by me. Now would you mind explaining, as far as your apparently random little mind will allow, what brought this on? I assume it's because you seem to believe I posted the bit 4 levels up, for some reason, and that this set off some equally random reaction? How about you challenge me to a "hey, I had better get professional help" fight. Do you challenge random people you've not met to gun duels often? Tell you what, if we ever meet, you can start all the fights you want, deal? You're right, I'm craven because I don't go seek out random scrawny geeks I've never met who challenge me to GUN DUEL on the soda motd. I'll try to get the media to film the world's first TASER DUEL. You on the other hand represents the finest of the Red Neck libertarians who love to collect fully auto M16s and AK47s.
php# 006415 took over from the esteemed Michael Brown as General Counsel of FEMA when Brown ascended from General Counsel to Deputy Director. Wallace was Gen eral Counsel at FEMA as the agency was being transitioned into the Depar tment of Homeland Security in 2002 and 2003. noted, the Washington Post got burned today by a "senior Bush offi cial" who told them that Gov. Bl anco of Louisiana had never declared a s tate of emergency in the site - - a claim the Post printed as fact. Yet t he claim was demonstrably fals e and by late afternoon the Post had been compelled to print a correctio n same false claim -- and though thei r recital of the anecdote is unso urced, common sense suggests that someo ne or some operation fed them bo th the same line, which neither organiza tion checked out before running . WaPo: "One reason for the slow White House response, said a Re publica n who has been in contact with several officials, is that so many high-l evel officials and aides were on vacation. Vice President Cheney, for in stance, was in Wyoming and did not return unil Thursday, and Nico lle De venish, the president's top communications adviser, is getting mar ried in Greece with a number of mid-level aides in attendance." article Adver tisement today in which they reported, on the say-so of an unidentified "senior Bush official", that as late as yesterday Louisiana Gov. Blanco still ha dn't gotten around to declaring a state of emergency. This, all egedly, h ad prevented a more rapid federal response. says this of Blanc o, as of September 1s t, almost a week later ... Kathleen Babineaux Blan co seemed uncertain and sluggish, hesitant to declare martial law or a s tate of emergency, which would ha ve opened the door to more Pentagon he lp. Now, all the rights and wrongs of this tragic debacle will turn on w eight ier facts than the day on which Blanco issued this declaration. Bu t this claim, which appeared in two major national publications, seems t o be p atently false. In both the Post and Newsweek the anecdote appears as an illustration of Blanco's dawdling which prevented a more rapid fe deral r esponse. The Post got played by a senior administration official . Pretty odd that Newsweek would come up with the same false anecdote on their own, right? print) For all the horror of what went on at the Supe rdome and the convention ce nter in New Orleans, we know so much about t hose cases because they were central points. There were lots of journali sts there and thus lots of c overage. this passage from the blog current ly being run by the N ew Orleans Times-Picayune ... About 100 people hav e died at the Chalmette Slip after being pulled off their rooftops, wait ing to be ferried up the river to the West Bank and bused out of the flo od ravaged area, US Rep. About 1,500 people were at the slip on Thursday afternoon, where critica l supplies like food and water are scarce, he said. Melancon expressed serious frustration with the slow pace of getti ng these items to the pe ople waiting to finish their journey to safety. Many of those at the sl ip were evacuated from a shelter set up at Chal mette High School that s uffered massive flooding as the waters rose dur ing Hurricane Katrina. M elancon said people are being plucked out of th eir water-surrounded hou ses, but the effort to get them out of Chalmett e and provide them with sufficient sustenance is the problem. Precise nu mbers are very difficult to nail down in the short-term under such circu mstances. But unless this story is wholly false, dozens of people die d not of drowning or even before being rescued, but simply because they co uldn't be moved from one way station to the next. Presumably a dispropor tionate number w ere old and at risk, or people with chronic illnesses w ithout access to their medication. Depending on the circumstances, dehyd ration and/or dys entery probably played an important role. Whatever the details, how many stories like this will there be? document that Larry Johnson has found, a National (dis aster) Response Plan that the adminis tration promulgated last December w hich seems to say explicitly that in the event of a catastrophic disaste r the federal government need not w ait for any explicit request for the local authorities in the affected r egions. pointed out, there is voluminous information in the public recor d showing this t...
