Home AgainI'm home in Nebraska from South Dakota, and am feeling quite cruddy. When you combine not feeling well with a "catch up" day at work (and add in some household chores you've been letting slide), this is not the way...Pork Fails to Stop Floodwater; Government Still Not Big Enough
Maybe this is something that the Louisiana voters can ask their delegation about: Army's engineers spent millions on Louisiana projects labeled as pork. Before Hurricane Katrina breached a levee on the New Orleans Industrial Canal, the Army Corps of Engineers...What You Bought
Time for a Sheriff's Relief Fund update. Today I wrote a check and took it to the bank for deposit. Y'all donated $55 so far. The deposit slip is available for the donors to look at. If you wish to...Blame Federalism
Kaus has it about right: Sure, the Bushies are using the federalism issue, and Louisiana's potentially bruised feelings, as an excuse--especially when they talk about how "it would have been perceived" if Bush had seized control of the relief effort...President Partially Corrects a Problem
The Political Undead in South DakotaFEMA Dumps Brown As Katrina Relief Chief
Call a spade a spade: Pres. Bush appointing this guy as head of FEMA was NOT a positive move. Pulling him out of the Katrina situation into a role of "overall supervision" is effectively kicking him upstairs to get him out of the way.

His replacement, Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen has HIS ducks in a row, and will be a major improvement.

John Thune.
The gory details are laid out by Sibby here, here, and here. (Not to short-change the yeoman service done over at South Dakota Politics on this also: they are regularly linked by Sibby in his postings.)
On the face of it Hildebrandt, Epp, and the rest of thier ilk from the Daschle camp seem to have a reality problem: their guy lost the election, largely because their true orientation on the issues was too far removbed from what most SD voters thought. Somebody better call them a waahmbulance: wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah!

Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Inter prize Institute has a great piece on the Broken Yardstick that is the official poverty rate. (TH to Real Clear Politics). Here's the problem:According to the latest poverty rate estimates - released by the...
