« Previous Entries Next Entries »Waiting for the Americans
Tuesday, September 20th, 2005Bush continues to get blasted by the Left for the federal response to Katrina, and — to the extent the buck stops with him for ousted FEMA boss Michael Brown’s inneptitude — deservedly so. But David Warren of The Ottawa Citizen believes Bush is getting a bad rap: “If something happened up here [Canada], on [...]
More bafoonery
Monday, September 19th, 2005By Nawlans politicos: “Nagin’s decision was an about-face from earlier in the day, when he’d begun to allow people back into the region, and was made under increasing pressure from the federal government to scale back his plan to re-open parts of the city this week and beyond.” Link.

Refreshing

Has Gov. Blanco contributed anything positive to the recovery efforts?
Tuesday, September 13th, 2005New Orleans’ Mayor Nagin has said she waited a critical 24 hours after the levees broke to request federal aid. Now she’s angry that the feds haven’t signed a contract to remove Katrina victims’ bodies from the water. Yet she’s authorized to execute the same contract on the state’s behalf. So after griping about the [...]
The Heart of a Shepherd
Saturday, September 10th, 2005Just before bedtime, Judah began to cry. Not a wimper and sniffle, but deep, profound sobbing from his gut.

Their lives have been shaken and they are asking the most important questions of life: [...]
