This morning on CNN Tom Kean, former member of the 9/11 commission, was talking about how Obama is “taking on to much”, echoing the same right-wing talking point we have heard all year. Let’s think about that. To a Republican like Kean, Obama shouldn’t be focusing on other things besides terrorism. We just had 8 […]
Looks like they could be facing a natural disaster up north: Hardware stores and auto parts shops scored a post-holiday run of business this week as Anchorage-area residents stocked up on protective eyewear and masks ahead of a possible eruption of Mount Redoubt. Monitoring earthquakes underneath the 10,200-foot Redoubt Volcano about 100 miles southwest of […]
John McCain is floating the idea of giving his speech from the “disaster zone” Gustav leaves. My God – the storm hasn’t even brought it’s fury and McCain is looking into ways to politicize it. And what the hell happened to the excuse after Katrina that Bush going down there would only hinder response? So […]
John McCain is talking about skipping the GOP convention or having it postponed due to Gustav. Here is what he said: McCain told Chris Wallace of “Fox News Sunday” in an interview taped for broadcast Sunday that the convention could be rescheduled. “It just wouldn’t be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near-tragedy […]
That he did this while the disaster was happening: Seriously – McCain is not “critical” of Bush about Katrina. If it wasn’t for this damn Democratic Primary the Democrats could be hitting him so hard over this right now. Show this picture of McCain smiling as people were dying in New Orleans. He really is […]
As oil prices teeter above $112 a barrel, I have heard recent debates about how the high prices are good for the environment. I have been in debates about this in the past, and while people might consume less oil, it is such a wrong way to go about it. A couple of years ago, […]
And it’s too late to blame Brownie for it: The Federal Emergency Management Agency manipulated scientific research to play down the danger posed by formaldehyde in trailers issued to hurricane victims, according to an investigation by congressional Democrats. FEMA “ignored, hid and manipulated government research on the potential impact of long-term exposure to formaldehyde” on […]
For the love of God – no more pluckin’ Presidents! That’s the big picture we always see of Huckaboner now. Lest we not forget about our last pluckin’ President? And that was during Katrina! How about we change to another instrument? Things weren’t bad with the sax:
Today’s Washington Post has an article by right wing hit man John Solomon. Today Solomon goes after John Edwards and his infamous $400 haircut. They are coining it as “the stylist speaks out”, even though I got a feeling Solomon worked hard to get him to “speak out”. Instead of quoting this piece of crap, […]
The F-5 tornado that leveled a town in Kansas was horrible. Having lived through a couple major tornados, I can tell you how devastating they are first hand. One of my earliest childhood memories was when an F-5 tornado came through southern Ohio in 1974. Thankfully our house was untouched. The same couldn’t be said […]
