Shedding light on utter incompetence
Squabbles hindered rescue efforts
FEMA has been run as a rest home for lazy bureaucrats for so long that when an actual crisis came, they were frozen like deer in headlights. The only instinct that was operating was turf control.

Echoes from the Future Wasteland
The world is running out of copper: Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Measure of Metal Supply Finds Future Shortage
We are using up this planet at a dizzying rate, condemning future generations to a life too much like that of former ones: a life spent in a world illuminated by fire, spent within the distance a person can walk, eating only what can be grown on one's own property.

Disturbing item
MercuryNews.com | 01/19/2006 | Feds after Google data

Just Stay There
Belafonte Calls Bush 'Greatest Terrorist' - Yahoo! News
Harry Belafonte, syncophantic left-wing admirer of dictators, opens his mouth and again removes all doubt that he is a fool.
"Millions"? Name two that weren't with your little group of cluster fuck moonbats, you washed up two-bit asshat.
Millions of Americans recognize Chavez for what he is: a megalomaniac anti-semitic fucktard who undoubtedly will one day get the same retirement most South American dictators receive: a bullet through the skull. Hope that day comes soon.
