Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff announced Friday that Michael Brown director of FEMA, is being taken off the hurrican katrina disaster. wow such decisive action. only a few months too late.

9/11 will be here again this sunday, and now we have a new disaster to sink into national depression over. but this time its different since we only have ourselves to blame. no infidels, darth vaders, or nationalistic ratfink terrorists to point the finger at, for "W" to get his white hat out of the closet for...no we as a nation are to blame for this one.

and there's no worse criticism than self criticism.

of course if you were stupid enough to re-elect "W" then you should be feeling worse than those of us who already knew what all those reporters in new orleans were saying last week: The Emperor Has No Clothes.

astonishing as it may be, our president is the same guy who was on the guard for 9/11/2001, the biggest terror attack on US soil EVER. now here it is 4 yrs later, and who does he have manning FEMA and Homeland Security? two apprentice lawyers with absolutely NO disaster recovery experience. brilliant leadership on "W"s part. really.

although this was a natural disaster, what if it was something more sinister, like a chemical or radiation attack from taliban extremists? purposeful destruction is just as effective as Mother Nature. what would those two inexperienced clowns have done? as it is now new orleans resembles the wreckage from a war, and the innocent victims suffered terribly. sort of like…hmmm…iraq!



it took a talented rap artist to say what everyone had been thinking all week, live on national tv.

"I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food."

"…and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us."

"America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."
and
"George Bush doesn't care about black people."

Yup. the naked truth.

well, actually "W" did care about black people when he was governor of Texas, he put them to death in record numbers, even when there were questions of innocence, using capital punishment. but other than that, i agree with west. "W" and all his pals couldn't give a shit about anyone, including black people, but themselves.

to make things more Orwellian, NBC censoredthe clip before its west coast broadcast. but kanye west prevailed, thanks to the web. people can now see that this administration's talk of "national security" is a big fucking lie. its all about the money. last week, bush, cheney, and all their greedy friends cleaned up at the pump. maybe the parasites running washington aren't dumb or incompetent, just fucking greedy.

last week was a cosmic home run of sorts, since it:

1. uncovered the very ugly reality of the very large, very poor american population, exposed for all the world to see.
2. reminded us that racism is alive and well in the USA, and it festers in the highest offices of government.
3. reiterated this stark fact about the current corrupt administration: The Emperor Has No Clothes.

quite a week.
