If you watch the main stream media, it seems that black people are

Good articles, but I sure wish people (who are mostly progressive
and should know better) would stop referring to people who are taking
food and supplies, in order to survive, as looters. It makes them
sound like violent savages, when in fact, they are barely surviving
in a hell hole, with little help from their government services.

Very interesting. While the folks at redstate.org are already

The same day Douthat wrote an eye-opening piece on the neo-con world
view and how it deals with 9/11 versus Katrina.

Tom Bartnett said the Bush admin makes Jon Stewart's job such a
frickin' cakewalk that the man should send his Peabody's to the White
House as a thank-you.

And then today Brooks essentially said we've already reached the tipping
point since the Bush adminstration lacks competence.

Very interesting times we live in.
