Well, they will be recorded in MY family history. I have kept books, notes, and publications over the last 10 years. I intend that my grandchildren know the truth of what happened, and also know about President Bush and all the good he has done. I don't trust academics or the media to tell the truth.
For generations they had been indoctrinated into believing that they were incapable of fending for themselves at the very basic level of daily survival – of providing their own food and shelter and medical care – and were somehow entitled to have all these necessities provided for them. When faced with an unexpected disaster of great magnitude, they were reduced to a level of absolute helplessness, exposed not only to the prospect of starvation or death by dehydration but also to the savagery of many among their number. Here's how Pat put it: "At the Superdome and New Orleans Convention Center, we saw the failure of 40 years of the Great Society. No sooner had Katrina passed by and the 17th Street levee broke than hundreds of young men who should have taken charge in helping the aged, the sick and the women with babies to safety took to the streets to shoot, loot and rape."
Thanks so much for posting that; Phil Brennan is one of my ALL-TIME favorite political writers! (I even used to have his "global cooling" theory series bookmarked.)
And he gets it right once again about who the real race predators are.
That paragraph jumped out at me, too. Great minds really DO think alike, LOL!
A couple of comments (think Monty Python here...)
[Emphasis in original] WHY ISN'T G. BUSH DOING ANYTHING TO STOP THIS NEW HURRICANE? ITS [SIC] LIKE HE JUST DOESN'T CARE ABOUT U.S. CITIZENS. IF JOHN FITZGERALD KERRY WERE IN HIS RIGHTFUL POSITION AS PREZ, HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE. THE MEDIA SHOULD REALLY TAKE "W" TO TASK FOR HIS CALLOUSNESS.
A later answer to that remark...
Your [sic] absolutely correct []. John Kerry could stop this hurricane. If John Kerry were president, he would stand at the water's edge, hold his arms up and command the hurricane to stop. The Hurricane [sic] would then crush him with a flying cow.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
Hi Chair, yesterday I received a call from a volunteer ho was calling to participation in a anti-Cindy Sheehan rally being held in Washington, D.C. this week-end. Have you heard anything about this?
Here's the premise: the aliens are ALREADY here, and they CONTROL THE HURRICANES! I am not making this up.
Gee, do you think Karl Rove is an alien?
There is an actual newspaper here in the Washington area, not a major one but one that is distributed at Metro stations nonetheless, that claims the Russians and Americans are capable of controlling hurricanes and are using this capability to "remodel" America.
So, yeah, I can believe it.
Hurricane Rita maximum sustained winds 150 mph, pressure 920 mb
This makes her a CAT V.
Hi. I'm back from taking my mil to a church luncheon.
How did that go? Is she behaving herself today?
Actually, no.
Cat V is 155 and up. It is a strong Cat IV, however, and forecasts do predict Cat V strength, but it will not hold that until landfall.

OK. Thanks for the correction.
Now, you have mail.
GET OUT OF THE WAY! IT IS BIG AND IT IS COMING.
We'll get high winds and rain, but no flooding I guess... and I know we'll lose power, and that's ok. But the tornadoes, THOSE are what scares me.
Stock up on water and staples, especially TP and hunker down, then. I agree w/you about tornadoes. They're scarier than hurricanes.
