    No Pets Left Behind

    Nomad caravan $5000

    Sounds like a few things were learned since Katrina…

    No pets left behind in New Orleans evacuation

    Pet owners stood in line to register their furry friends. Then they were given a machine readable band to tag on to their pet, in case they became separated.

    Among the horrors of Katrina three years ago were dead dogs bobbing in [...]



    yes we are

    America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.

    This country is more decent than one where a woman in Ohio, on the brink of retirement, finds herself one illness away from disaster after a lifetime of hard work.

    We’re a better country than one where a man in Indiana has to pack up the equipment [...]



    that hulk tie will go over big in federal prison

    WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican in the U.S. Senate and one of the chamber’s most powerful members, was indicted Tuesday in Washington, a result of a year-long investigation into corruption in Alaska politics.

    The 7-count indictment comes nearly one year after federal agents raided Stevens’ home in Girdwood, a resort town about 40 miles south of Anchorage. … A broad [...]



    just in time for katrina’s third anniversary celebration

    Nobody was injured, but more than 419,000 gallons of heavy, almost tar-like [...]



    they say that memory is the first thing to go

    But I have an inkling this is just more political assholery from the master flip-flopper himself:

    I’ve supported every investigation and ways of finding out what caused the tragedy. I’ve been here to New Orleans. I’ve met with people on the ground. I’ve met with the governor. I’m not familiar with exactly what you said, but I’ve been as active as anybody in [...]



    and where, exactly, were you, flyboy?

    Sen. John McCain on Thursday blasted the Bush administration and all levels of government for the failed response to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

    “We know we didn’t have the right kind of leadership … where government agencies were getting information from watching cable television rather than have a flow of information,” McCain said during an event at Xavier University in New Orleans.

    You [...]



    those bush couldn’t drown, he’ll poison

    Our fair Chimperor is treating the population of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast like a litter of unwanted kittens:

    “It was not until Dec. 21 that the Centers for Disease Control actually began testing formaldehyde levels in travel trailers and mobile homes,” said [House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie] Thompson. “That is over a year and half after the first reports of [...]
