I think I'm going to stop posting AP articles--I have about 29 pages' worth in a Word document, but I'm just too tired to do anything with them. For some reason I came home from class today and crawled into bed an hour later ( Read more... )

Here's a "tone" for Georgie Boy: Bad.

did you happen to see the Oprah show today?? Her 'Angel' network and a bunch of celebs(like John Travolta, Lisa Marie Presley, and Chris Rock) were down in the ravaged areas helping survivors get basic supplies...it was heart-wrenching to watch, but I just felt compelled to sit through it.

I bawled like a baby during Matthew McConaughey's (sp?) segment about the doctor who cared for evacuee pets for over a week by himself...and then Matthew rescued him and all of the pets. He even helped to begin reuniting animals and owners. *sniff* It was beautiful. Tragic, but beautiful.

Personally, Cleo, I've been appreciating your work in collecting the data in one place. Thank you. If you feel you have to stop, do so; but know that I'm appreciating what you do, and I'm sorry I haven't said so before now.

WOAH.

Thank you for the above information.

Commenters elsewhere have noted that this would've given Shrubco the power to award contracts for the rebuilding in NOLA afterwards.

Interesting... a few years ago, this would've sounded like a conspiracy theory. Now, this seems like JUST the sort of thing that this administration does so well. Well. This changes everything, now doesn't it? If incompentency weren't bad enough, now their hesitation/refusal looks purposeful. Ugh. How much lower can they go?!

That's incredably frightening.

I know you have a large friends list (understated), and lots of folks who read your journal expressed a desire to help the Humane Society. I thought you/they might be interested in this:
