There is no world in which any of this was any god’s will. Anybody who thinks that is a fucking moron…

Where was all the construction equipment The US Army Corps of Engineers should have been using to reinforce the levees? Most of it was sitting in Iraq where it had been since 2003. You have to know something to be able to effectively run the government at any level. It’s bad enough that we have to watch our country fall apart for very preventable reasons while these incompetent fools sit in office. Then, it’s like adding insult to injury when their right wing nut job followers come out of the woodwork to proclaim that it was simply God’s Will and there was nothing our leaders (who were supposedly chosen by God and not elected) could do to overcome the Will of God.

Thank you Glynn for NOT forgetting an incredibly important lesson in U.S. history, the debacle known as Hurricane Katrina. On so many levels it represents our worst in government response, so called "Conservative Compassion," and to this day little accountability. I was a tourist trapped in the Superdome during Katrina. My memoir, Diary From the Dome: Reflections on Fear and Privilege During Katrina was published last year and some questions were raised that no one has yet answered me concerning Katrina. Why were the airport, train, and bus stations all closed 2 days prior to the mandatory evacuation order? Why can our President lie about knowing about the severity of Katrina yet later when proven on video that he was warned about its severity he is given carte blanche, while a previous President was impeached for lying about allowing a consenting adult to suck on a piece of his skin? One resulting in hundreds of deaths and the other caused turmoil in a family. As long as accountability goes out the window we shall never ever achieve the greatness of our nation that is truly possible.

I am going to stop watching CNN altogether, I guess.

On Sunday, this moron, Fareed Zakaria, an editor at Newsweek where Karl Rove writes a column, had James Baker 3rd on. He said, I kid you not, that there were WMD in Iraq and that the war would be considered “a success.” He had the gall to say we are all “better off” that George W. Bush was “elected” in 2001 than “the alternative.” (Of course, he was Bush’s lawyer who got the Supreme Court to hand the election to Bush, so remember, he was not “elected” at all)…

To call this “objective” broadcast journalism is an abomination. Thomas Paine is rolling over in his grave…
