The John Roberts' Hearings
Well, I was prepared to give Roberts the benefit of the doubt, but his self-serving attitude about answering questions during his confirmation hearing make me issue a solid “thumbs down”.

Read moreBush Ask's Condi's Permission For Bathroom Break-Seriously
In what seems destined to become one of the most joked about photos of the month, a well-known Reuters photographer on Wednesday captured President George W. Bush scribbling a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a session at the United Nations. On the note is a message revolving around the need to take a “bathroom break.”
Read moreSummary Of Katrina Disaster
I thought I would make this post about Katrina, and try to move on to other things. It is a horrible disaster, and we all need to know what is going on, and understand how over government agencies are (or are not) responding to this disaster. That being said, I think there’s some fatigue to all the coverage.
Read moreMore Than a Few Discrepancies In Mike Brown's Resume
Time finds what it really, really charitably calls ‘discrepancies’ in FEMA Chief Michael Brown’s resume. Like when he served as “assistant city manager with emergency services oversight” in Edmond, Okla.? Okay, he was an intern (title=administrative assistant) there while he was in college.

A trio of Duke University sophomores say they drove to New Orleans late last week, posed as journalists to slip inside the hurricane-soaked city twice, and evacuated seven people who weren’t receiving help from authorities.

In my previous post on the lack of relief efforts by the federal government, I made it clear I don’t believe race had anything to do with the abysmal response to the tragedy. Thanks to Condi Rice for confirming that for me.
Read moreKatrina Victims To Blame for Their Problems…Of Course
Here is a report of your Federal Government’s response to Hurricane Katina and the flooding of New Orleans on Wednesday — two days into the crisis. No one in charge. How scary is that? The biggest disaster on our shores in a century, and our government’s leaders were AWOL. Our President’s deer-in-the-headlights reaction to the 9/11 attacks was no fluke. For all his tough talk, the man simply does not know what to do when things go really, really wrong.
