The Supreme CourtFrom an article in the October 2004 issue of National Geographic magazine:
It was a broiling August afternoon in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Big Easy, the City That Care Forgot. Those who ventured outside moved as if they were swimming in tupelo honey. Those inside paid silent homage to the man who invented air-conditioning as they watched TV "storm teams" warn of a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing surprising there: Hurricanes in August are as much a part of life in this town as hangovers on Ash Wednesday.But the next day the storm gathered steam and drew a bead on the city. As the whirling maelstrom approached the coast, more than a million people evacuated to higher ground. Some 200,000 remained, however?the car-less, the homeless, the aged and infirm, and those die-hard New Orleanians who look for any excuse to throw a party.Sound familiar? Read on:
Thousands drowned in the murky brew that was soon contaminated by sewage and industrial waste. Thousands more who survived the flood later perished from dehydration and disease as they waited to be rescued. It took two months to pump the city dry, and by then the Big Easy was buried under a blanket of putrid sediment, a million people were homeless, and 50,000 were dead. It was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States.Fortunately the casualty rate doesn't seem to be this high for NOLA, but the rest sounds spot on.
When did this calamity happen? It hasn't?yet. But the doomsday scenario is not far-fetched. The Federal Emergency Management Agency lists a hurricane strike on New Orleans as one of the most dire threats to the nation, up there with a large earthquake in California or a terrorist attack on New York City. Even the Red Cross no longer opens hurricane shelters in the city, claiming the risk to its workers is too great.Pretty good for a year in advance. Imagine what would have happened if the Louisiana state government, and the City of New Orleans had made some realistic emergency plans based on this sort of projection.
Like it should have been their priority, since they're the ones directly on the scene - right? As it turned out, wrong!
As I realized John Thune had defeated Tom Daschle last November, the first thought that came to mind was that the people of South Dakota as just saved the Supreme Court. With the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist, the...Looting and the liberal elite

Meanwhile, Holocaust II Promoted in London
There are reports out of the mid-east that one of the most disreputable, slanderous, and evil pieces of anti-Jewish propaganda that came from a non-Nazi source has been published on the OFFICIAL Palestinian Authority website - BUT ONLY IN THE ARABIC version. It would seem that even the Palestinian Islamofascists have enough common sense not to publish it it English, to keep it's outside exposure down.
An official Palestinian Authority information website directly affiliated with President Mahmoud Abbas has published on its Arabic language section a copy of the ''Protocols of the Elders of Zion,'' a classic anti-Semitic forgery...Al-Nakba.com, the official Internet website of the Palestinian State Information Service, SIS, published an Arabic translation to the ''Protocols,'' a notorious forgery authorized by the anti-Semetic Czarist police in early 20th-Century Russia...
These are the same folks that the moonbats say we need to sympathetically understand, and that we should FORCE Israel to make whatever concessions are needed to achieve "peace".
Making peace with that attitude on the other side would be tantamount to lining up to march peacefully back into Auschwitz - for a new holocaust in the middle east is evidently the goal of the Palestinian and other Islamofascists.
Where's the MSM crying about THIS hate speech? MIA once again.
At the same time, The Jerusalem Post described a Eurabian rally against Israel's existance in London's Trafalgar square. The participation and comments made are instructive as to the nature of the Islamofascists and their useful idiot and crypto (or maybe not so crypto in some cases) anti-semite supporters:
A central London rally organized by the British Palestine Solidarity Campaign on Saturday heard Respect Party MP George Galloway advocate a general boycott of Israel, as well as other speeches calling for Israel's destruction.
Remember Galloway? Last week before a Congressional Committee due to documentary evidence that he received proceeds from illegal use of Iraqi oil-for-food money in exchange for supporting Sod-em Hussein.
Time To DealWhen morons are starting to shoot at emergency helicopters, it's time to re-think some current policies. And it sounds like Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco has been doing just that. A DETACHMENT of 300 Arkansas National Guard troops have landed in...
