Turn, Turn, Turn...

Everything has a spin, doesn't it? The world would be an amazingly better place if people would learn some perspective, and see the forest rather than only the trees smack in front of their faces.

New Orleans, American's punishment for the Gaza strip, and oh, yeah, Gays again.

Um. Perhaps he needs to check that part in the bible again where it says G-D tossed them out of Isreal for crimes against him. Alright, that's the protestant perspective. And considering WWII, I can't really blame them. I try not to assume G-D is on my side and fullfilling prophecy as I watch. Call me a cynic, but somehow I still don't think G-D is wiping out New Orleans because of a few peace concessions in the middle east. That's an entirely different debate, but is it really so horrible to give up one region of land, to not get bombed and exploded elsewhere?

Yes, Mrs. Bush. Its clearly all right to rip them from family and stick them cot-by-cot in a sports arena to live. After all, they are only poor. Its what their used to, isn't it?

That entire article just leaves me speachless. I can only pray its incorrect or misinterpreted.

Thinkprogress has an interesting timeline of events and stories surrounding Katrina. It only servers to highlight the failures.

Thankfully, there are some people, beyond the Mayor of New Orleans, who are willing to publically stand up and tell the world about the lies and failures.

• The Helena, MT, Independant Record on 'Cronyism'.
• Geraldo Rivera in Tears, and hard to quiet; and Shep Smith chopping Hannity off at his GOP spinning knees. Video available.
• One harrowing commentary from a President of a NOLA parish, available in video on the web, proclaims:

"But the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will go down as one of the worst abandonments of Americans on American soil ever in U.S. history. … Whoever is at the top of this totem pole, that totem pole needs to be chainsawed off and we’ve got to start with some new leadership. It’s not just Katrina that caused all these deaths in New Orleans here. Bureaucracy has committed murder here in the greater New Orleans area and bureaucracy has to stand trial before Congress now."

• Even the New York Times admits the Administration is spin doctoring for their very lives!

And, while we're on the truth; one Alan Dershowitz dares to critize William Rhenquist as an anti-semetic, racist, neo-natzi.
