The Myth of the Purple Finger?
How the NOPD deals with residents returning to check on their property.
It was bad enough that the Federal government learned virtually nothing from Hurricane Katrina and that evacuation plans barely a month later for Texas in the wake of Hurricane Rita were almost as inept but now FEMA is STILL fccking up leaving thousands still needlessly suffering. Sort it out....
And I'm not even gonna get into that nasty business with the police in NOLA. What was that Ice Cube said back in the day on Amerikkka's Most Wanted about the police being there to "Serve, protect and break a nigga's neck...."?
"Look Harriet Miers is every bit as competent and qualified as I am" - that's pretty much all I have to say on old girl. The Dems should be ashamed of themselves for playing politics and backing her nomination because it's helping the GOP implode (we can only hope) when she is clearly not qualified to carry Sandra Day O'Connor's lunch.
The fix is in? "Iraqi election officials said Monday that they were investigating "unusually high" vote totals in 12 Shiite and Kurdish provinces, where as many as 99 percent of the voters were reported to have cast ballots in favor of Iraq's new constitution."

More on the Bush White House's MO: fake letter, fake news conference, fake war, fake president. Any questions?

While finally, millions homeless, over 40,000 dead, and a whole generation lost. Damn, I don't know how many more of these relief links my sidebar can take. Truly I wish there none at all. Until I get one up for the Pakistani earthquake disaster relief though, support here if you can.
