I think I'm back. Maybe. I'll get back to you about that. <g>
Despite how well our parish did from the storm, I don't think things are
going to go well. I'm not confident about the long term prospects. I doubt
this thing is anywhere near over...

The Bushies being in charge is one of the reasons I'm planning on moving

in any way even remotely competent. Especially not when the director of

Apparently this charming person that Bush appointed as FEMA director
has a history of (and I quote) being a 'walking distaster' that was
fired from a prior job when he completely destroyed an arabian horse

As usual Bush hired a total idiot to run a crucially important

We're far enough West and in an curious little area that's walking
distance from the Mississippi yet is a 500 (or more) year flood plane that
there's relatively minor damage here. Also, we're slated to be a major
"staging area" for big heaping piles of the relief effort so they're
bringing things back online rather fast.
Here's how *weird this all is. I have a cheap, plastic little hummingbird
feeder out back. It's *still *there. Fifteen miles down the road is a
disaster area. Go figure...

Growing up at the edge of Tornado Alley, I'm very familiar with this sort of
thing. A tornado whipped through my hometown 12 years ago. It demolished
several houses on the very next block, but all it did to our yard was blew a
pine tree down. The pine tree was right in the middle of a hedgerow, and it
fell exactly along the hedgerow. Had it blown to the side just a bit, it
would have fallen right on the house.

I'm talking national office for him. The top national office.
Unfortunately, there's a small problem with the color of his skin in a
racist society like ours.

Three cheers for Nagin for telling it like it is.

It's where even the angels can be goaded to flash their breasts for
beads. Just not those cheap little ones.
I love that city, and hope deeply that it will recover the cultural
heartbeat that has driven it for these past centuries. Here's a good
story about it:
http://www.laweekly.com/ink/printme.php?eid=67464
Choice quote: "I'm a native of the Big Easy. But the city's attraction
for me isn't that it's the perfect place to get your drink on and party
down with the frat boys. New Orleans explains me and my tribe of
miscegenated Americans — we colored folk, even the occasional black folk
with blond hair and blue eyes. When people ask my race, I often respond
by saying, 'I'm from New Orleans.' If pressed for what that means, I'll
say, 'We marry our cousins.' Sure, I'm joking, but I'm serious about the
idea that this place is more than just a city you happened to be born
in. History is thick in New Orleans; everywhere you go you experience
it, from the Congo Square to the French Quarter, where you can purchase,
if you're so inclined, authentic slave receipts from back in the day.
Even weathered shotgun houses that are now probably submerged are
romantic with history."

Mayor Nagin’s “Kate Hale” moment
by Donald Sensing @ 8:21 am. Filed under Current events/news, Hurricanes
Do you remember Kate Hale? She was the emergency directorof Dade County,
Fla., when Hurricane Andrew struck there on Aug. 24, 1992. Hale went on
live national television on August 27 with tears in her eyes and
castigated the federal government. Some of her comments were:
Enough is enough. Quit playing like a bunch of kids. Where in the
[snip] is the cavalry? For God’s sakes, where are they? We are going to
have more casualties, because we are going to have more people
dehydrated. People without water. People without food. Babies without
formula. If we do not get more food into the south end of Dade County in
a very short period of time, we are going to have more casualties!
We have a catastrophic disaster. We are essentially the walking
wounded. We have appealed through the State to the Federal Government.
We’ve had a lot of people down here for press conferences, but Dade
County is on its own. Dade County is being caught in the middle of
something and we are being victimized. Quit playing like a bunch of kids
and get us aid! Sort out your political games afterward!
We are all about ready to drop, and the reinforcements are not
getting in fast enough. We need better National Guard down
here…President Bush was down here. I’d like him to follow up on the
commitments he made.
President Bush almost immediately order 30,000 federal troops to south
Florida.
Yesterday New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin had a Kate Hale kind of moment, it
seems.
He’s on the radio going of, and I do mean GOING OFF about not
getting the Federal resources (specifically, military resources) he
wants in New Orleans. He is LIVID and has lost his composure. He has
used the phrase “Get off your [rears]” and “Get your [rears] on a plane”
numerous times. He said he doesn’t want to see “any more [snip snip]
press conferences” with Federal officials talking about how much they’re
going to do about New Orleans until the resources are down here. He’s
losing it. He is literally breaking down on the radio.
I really can’t say that I blame him, all things considered. He only
said what I’ve been thinking since last night. Get the troops down here
NOW, Mr. President. Mobilize an entire brigade as though the homeland
has been attacked, Mr. President. Get them down here NOW. People are
being beaten, robbed, raped and killed in the streets of New Orleans. It
has to stop NOW.
But, as I blogged yesterday, the federal troops were already on the way
and some had arrived.
Hale’s diatribe, btw, was carefully planned by county officials. While
her frustration was real,it was also very staged managed; she demanded
the networks carry her press conference live, for example. Was Nagin
similarly staging his moment? No way to know. As for Hale, Reason’s
Glenn Garvin wrote in 1993,
But there was much that Hale didn’t mention during her tearful
soliloquy. First and foremost was the reason that the U.S. Army wasn’t
on the scene: No one in Florida had asked for it. American presidents,
with good reason, do not treat local jurisdictions like conquered
territories, subject to military occupation at the whim of the White
House. Even in civil disturbances, where the military’s primary
skill–shooting people–is far more relevant than it is in a natural
catastrophe, it’s rare to see federal troops.
Not only had Florida officials not asked for troops, they had
specifically said they didn’t want any. The Florida National Guard’s
hurricane log shows that on August 25, a Guard officer briefing a U.S.
Army counterpart told him: “Florida has not requested any support from
other states or federal agencies, nor do we project a need.”
There’s a lot more in Garvin’s piece that echoes today, worth reading
and pondering in the weeks to come.

It takes a Repub to ***** things up beyond all reason, and then brag when
they finally send a small amount of help.

National Guardsmen Reach New Orleans
By ALLEN G. BREED, Associated Press Writer
Friday, September 2, 2005
(09-02) 11:15 PDT New Orleans (AP) --
Four days after Hurricane Katrina struck, the National Guard arrived in
force Friday with food, water and weapons, churning through the
floodwaters in a vast truck convoy with orders to retake the streets and
bring relief to the suffering.
"The cavalry is and will continue to arrive," said Lt. Gen. Steven Blum
of the National Guard.
At the New Orleans Convention Center, some of the thousands of storm
victims awaiting their deliverance applauded, threw their hands
heavenward and screamed, "Thank you, Jesus!" as the camouflage-green
trucks and hundreds of soldiers arrived.
"Lord, I thank you for getting us out of here," said Leschia Radford.
But there was also anger and profane catcalls.
"Hell no, I'm not glad to see them. They should have been here days ago.
I ain't glad to see 'em. I'll be glad when 100 buses show up," said 46-
year-old Michael Levy, whose words were echoed by those around him
yelling, "Hell, yeah! Hell yeah!"
"We've been sleeping on the ... ground like rats," Levy said. "I say
burn this whole ... city down."
The Guard said its first priority was delivering food and water, after
which it would begin evacuating people — something that could take days.
"As fast as we can, we'll move them out," said Army Lt. Gen. Russel
Honore. "Worse things have happened to America," he added. "We're going
to overcome this, too. It's not our fault. The storm came and flooded
the city."

Hurricane Charley struck, the second Bush White House was poised to act,

Bush had Guard units prepositioned before Katrina even hit. All NO
needed to do was to tell them where to deploy. The latest excuse from NO
is that they had no communications.

Ten days after Andrew was the fault of Bush Sr. as I recall.
What's actually "unacceptable" is any member of that family having any

They should have been on the way as soon as it was safe to enter the city.
Not a fucking week later.
