FEMA Administrator Forced to Appear Before Congress

Having people live in poison trailers sounds like you want to kill them. Katrina effected the poor and minorities most. They didn't have them means to get out of the city and have been forced to live in poor conditions whether they accept a poison trailer or not. Hould we be looking at this as a class/race war?

No End In Sight

AlterNet: Blogs: Video: No End In Sight [VIDEO]: "The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq’s descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, NO END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping, insider’s tale of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality. Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003), as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts."

When is a church not a church?

When it's not a catholic church.

OK, this really gets my goat. I'm a recovered catholic. I attend a Unitarian Universalist meeting house (not a church) when I attend anything. I consider myself pagan and Druid (the educated at that time). Christianity pushers are snake oil salesman. Give me your money and I promise you everything. Be happy with your poverty and you will get your rewards later. Are you sure? Have faith. Have faith in an organization that killed anyone who didn't have faith. That destroyed knowledge because it didn't match their teachings. Infallible pope? Sun revolving around the Earth and no apology to Galileo until he was dead a few hundred years. Virgin birth?...Yeah sure. Try pulling that today. Papal infallibility? Have you read what some of these demented despots have done? Killing millions of midwifes and herbalists as witches. I'll stick with the "old time religions", anything that predated the old testament. Yes, pagans were ignorant, not stupid. They explained things with the best explanations they had. When science came along they used it to update. Tracking the distant heavens while christians were still claiming the sun revolved around the Earth.

So, do I accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior? No, Jesus Christ is just something I yell when I hit my thumb with a hammer.

What a bunch of bullshit!!!

Bush Blocks the Testimony of Former Rove Aide

Here's another headline: "Attorney General Alberto Gonzales knew about legal and procedural violations by FBI agents in the months before he told senators that no such abuses had occurred, The Washington Post reported today."

Something is being hidden and it isn't something good.
