I realize that the topic of media bias has been talked about ad naseum but Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy In Media has another excellent post up about it.
For those who question the evidence of bias, it can be found in numerous studies. The national press bias was first documented in Leo Rosten’s 1937 study of [...]

Okay, I have to admit that I’m just a little stumped. FEMA’s plan to relocate some of the hurricane survivors to cruise ships has been put on hold because many of those people don’t want to leave the various shelters they currently find themselves in. Personally I thought they would jump at the chance to [...]

With all of the finger pointing and blame gaming going on I thought now would be a good time to take a look at the other side of the equation. Thanks to Blogging Tories member Celestial Junk Blog for this.

For starters, 90,000 square miles is the size of Great Britain. Now imagine the British trying [...]

For anyone who has not yet seen the much talked about interview with Aaron Broussard, President of Jefferson Parrish, click on the picture of him to the left.
Some of his claims are startling to say the least. As well, his emotional outburst at the end is heart wrenching and I think sums up the feelings [...]

Further to my previous post, Blogging Tories member Anonalogue is reporting via Door County Compass that a private citizen had discovered an enormous number of buses sitting around waiting for the call. This despite Nagin’s demand that he needs buses.
Early on Friday morning Christie Weber watched the Mayor of New Orleans screaming on CNN, “We [...]

Flying Monkey-Right Blog has done his homework and put together a timeline of events. Recall that I said there was plenty of blame to go around?

(Saturday, August 27, 2005 early)
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announces New Orleans may be directly hit.(Sunday, August 28)
President Bush calls Governor Blanco and urges her to evacuate the endangered areas. [...]

I wanted to bring something up that I haven’t seen very much of in the media so far and that is the list of nations that have stepped up to the plate. As noted in earlier posts, the US has always been one of the first, if not the first, to respond when tragedy strikes [...]

In my previous post I lashed out at those responsible for the planning and execution of the relief effort currently in progress including all 3 levels of government. As a matter of fact I’m still pissed at the number of deaths that didn’t have to be. Whether or not the people should have left when [...]
