A Look Back on the Fifth Anniversary at Hurricane Katrina
Louisianians Give Bush Higher Marks Than Obama for Crisis Response. [AOL Politics Daily]
Really?? Have people already forgotten how incompetently Bush handled this tragedy?? Let me refresh your memory...
"Why is no one in charge?"
"I done called for a shelter, I done called for help. There ain't none. No one answers...."
"You don't want to be here at night....."
A lot of people are ashamed of what is happening in this country right now...."
"These people are dying for no other reason than the lack of organization...."
"Lives were lost that did not need to be lost...."
New Orleans: Two Years Later.
Katrina “Has Fallen So Far Off The Radar Screen, You Can’t Find It”
"To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility...."

Haiti Once More....
I'm out of town right now so don't have a ton of time to blog but I'll post when I can but first up is another post on Haiti.

And this is a country that was already f-cked up before the earthquake. Watch the video above then read up some more....

Video: Pres. Bill Clinton on how Haiti Saved the U.S. Revolution.
Between that video link above and this article I linked in an earlier post, if its in there to begin with, get it out of your mind that Haiti is a bum-ass country with a string of bad luck and a predilection for electing corrupt politicians - it's a country of warriors. But even warriors need help every once in a while as President Obama so eloquently explains in the video at top. These guys, unlike some, understand the need here transcends partisan differences.

Interior Dept. Officials Embroiled in a Sex-for-Oil Scandal
From the Washington Post:
"Government officials in charge of collecting billions of dollars worth of royalties from oil and gas companies accepted lavish gifts, steered contracts to favored firms and engaged in illicit sex with employees of the energy companies, federal investigators reported today.
Investigators from the Interior Department's inspector general's office said more than a dozen employees, including the former director of the oil royalty program, accepted gifts including ski trips, sports tickets and golf outings. The report alleges that the former director, Gregory W. Smith, also arranged side deals that personally netted him more than $30,000."
