!!!

it's always someone else's fault (where's the buck supposed to stop?). local blaming federal, federal blaming local...but this takes the cake. it flooded because of some environmentalist group from back in the 60's? yeah, that makes sense.

umm, did you read my post? i addressed both of those subjects. perhaps you just decided to pretend my post didn't exist?

this is part of a column i wrote in my school paper: Who would have thought that New Orleans would turn into a ghost town because of massive flooding from Hurricane Katrina? "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees,” said President Bush, speaking of the walls that could not hold back the floodwater which ravaged the city and left hundreds dead. But President Bush was wrong. Actually a whole lot of people predicted it, like the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which ran a five-part series on the vulnerability of the city, or National Geographic, which ran an article in October 2004 that predicted a hurricane would hit New Orleans and leave the city “buried under a blanket of putrid sediment,” in what they predicted would be “the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States.” Then there’s the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which predicted its own failure in the future. In 2001, former FEMA Director Joe Albaugh said that “a Category 5 hurricane in an urban area would stretch our current response and recovery capabilities to a breaking point.” Four years later, we see Bush saying “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job” to the recently resigned and much-maligned former FEMA director Michael Brown. Wrong again, Mr. President.

why try to live at all if there's a high chance (100% actually) that you're going to die?

0/10 radiohead - you and whose army

so i'm ignoring and demeaning hurricane victims by posting an article that is hugely relevant to all americans (especially considering how much everyone here drives)? please...most people can walk and chew gum at the same time, just like they can simultaneously be worried about the people in the path of the storm as well as having to paying a buttload more at the pump in the future.

gas prices here in america could go up to 4 or 5 dollars a gallon because rita will knock a big chunk of our domestic production out of service. http://money.cnn.com/2005/09/22/news/economy/rita_threat/index.htm?cnn=yes

8/10 sufjan stevens - the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us!

if muse played on the radio would they be overrated too?

don't get your panties all up in a bunch...radiohead is just a band, and you're just some freak getting all bent out of shape because you don't like a band that lots of other people adore, so you have to call them 'fucking overrated.' i think you're fucking overrated.

so basically what you're saying is that too many or too little people like something, or some critic gives it too many or too little stars, and they should agree with your point of view on something so subjective, right?

i've asked this on other boards and haven't gotten a proper reply, so will one of you please explain what you mean by over and underrated? who is doing the rating?

bone-thin model has a known drug addict for a boyfriend and does cocaine...in other news, rain falls from the sky and shit stinks.

yes, only democrats use nazi references... http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/05/20/national/w085317D29.DTL what makes it more fun is that republican senator rick santorum not only likes to make nazi/hitler references, but he likes to denounce other people that make them as well. -March 2005, Dem Senator Robert Byrd compares Nazis to Republicans who want to change the filibuster rule, Republican Senator Rick Santorum says Nazi references "lessen the credibility of the senator and the decorum of the Senate." -May 2005, Santorum said that Democratic protests over Republican efforts to ensure confirmation votes would be like the Nazi dictator seizing Paris and then saying: "I'm in Paris. How dare you invade me? How dare you bomb my city? It's mine."
