In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
That's not counting the 1383 *official* dead, or those who had no family to report them missing. 3200 people. Just gone. And, *finally*, somebody is going to search for a few of them.
Remember, we honor our dead here in America. Unless, of course, they're black. Or poor. Or both. In that case... well... y'know.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.

Yeah, I know! I'm glad they finally decided to search for the missing.
ReplyDeleteAh... Halaburton (and subs) is sooo efficient with government (the people's) money. I thought they already went through the buildings of NO looking for the dead. But, we know that bodies are still being found in the buildings.

ReplyDeleteNot only were the victims of Katrina black and poor, but unlike the 9/11 casualties, their deaths can't be used by wingnuts as an excuse for ignorant hatred, demagoguery and militaristic aggression under the cover of patriotism.
If the Dems had any brains at all, they would be employing a team to track down every single survivor of Katrina, and making sure they are registered to vote, wherever they are.
