On to Katrina: We already knew, from testimony and interviews, that Bush's statement that "no one could have anticipated" the breaching of the levees was not exactly an accurate description of the warnings that he and other top officials received. Now newly released video of the meetings in those fateful days has confirmed it.
"Not exactly an accurate description..." I love it! Let's go to the tape: Read below the fold...

I've never understand why the extremely legitimate deal to sell control of our ports to the Emirates had to go through in such a hurry; the Republicans claim that to wait would be racist--oh, puh-leeze--but what's racist about making sure that selling big parts of Philly and Manhattan to pro-torture money-launderers who vacation with OBL doesn't pose any security risks?

I confess I actually buy cooked food rather a great deal, instead of cooking it for myself. (Matyson!) But if I cut loose from the corporate beast, I'm going to have to cut back on that.

So, in New Orleans after Katrina, a fisherman's business goes under. The fisherman then displays adaptability and goes into the T-Shirt business, and gives away an anti-FEMA t-shirt. (I guess there's a big market for that message down in NOLA.) And the MBFs at FEMA arrest him. Only in Bush's America! Read on:

From the Champaign IL News-Gazette:
One law of quantum mechanics, called "superposition," says properties such as the spin of an electron or the polarization of a photon can be in a range of different states at once down at the atomic and subatomic levels.

A friend of mine was actually "shocked" by the South Dakota situation. Most of us saw it coming in December of 2000. Most of us also saw this:
Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state's official "majority" religion.
House Concurrent Resolution 13 is pending in the state legislature.

Reuters:
Dubai Ports World's $6.85 billion acquisition of Britain's P&O will close on Friday or Monday, despite an additional 45-day review by the U.S. government in response to security concerns, a U.S. Treasury Department official said on Thursday.
