QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) And your point is? The President can do anything necessary to run this country from anywhere. The Oval Office does not give him special powers that he can't use elsewhere. Look, any time we have a major catastrophe there are going to be situations that can be handled differently. Sure mistakes were made, communications broke down, etc. I would be shocked if that were NOT the case. I just think it is a major crock to be politicking all of this. Why does the blame game have to start now? Someone mentioned because there could be another catastrophe next week? If you don't think that behind the scenes heads aren't rolling and they aren't already working on what went wrong, you are naive. I just don't see the purpose or need for a partison roast through the media. Sometimes, things need to be worked out behind closed doors rather than for all to see and critique. Unfortunately, this country has to blame someone and it all starts with the media. All the media does is turn things into a bigger circus. We have just witnessed the single biggest catastrophe in American history. It has basically wiped out a whole coastline. The magnaminity of this is almost beyond comprehension. No matter what the role of government is, and how many "fire drills" are done to have a plan ready, something of this enormity is bound to be a clusterf***. History will show that the media tried to do it's job and criticized and questioned all involved while makings mistakes of its own and learning a great deal about really how important the race issue still is. History will also show that aid could have been given quicker and the blame probably at least lay somewhat at the top. 20 years from now are people going to be able to think wow the administration sure did all they could, I wish the media hadn't been so darn liberal and Bush hadn't been villified like he has (I'm yet to see an actual media outlet blame Bush). Where's Dick Cheney? Where was George Bush? What the hell was Condie doing? FAIR questions to ask. And if these are questions the media is not supposed to ask, and this is a consensus among Americans, which it isn't, then what is point of the news media anyways?

QUOTE(juddling @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) gee..in this corner we have Ben Stein who has worked in politics and is generally considered a smart guy.... ......and in this corner we have a constant Bush-bashing Canadian who decided to cyber-name himself after a ex-sox pitcher with a career record of 54-66. hmm...i think i'll stick with the opinions of Ferris's teacher. I think I'd kick Ben Stein's butt in a debate. Your missing a key point here though juddling. On Ben Stein's resume the word politician pops up, which often negates much intelligence one has and replaces it with the instinct to spin. p.s. my username was created when he was still a white sock

Little slip of the tongue for Barbara Bush http://www.drudgereport.com/bb.mp3 ---------------------------------- oops

Frankly I'm sick of hearing people say sarcastically "oh it's all George Bush's fault", no of course it's not, but he's still a massive failure.

13.) If you actually believe all of the above listed, it is not George Bush's fault you are a dunce.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Sep 4, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) If you choose not to believe the recent findings strongly suggesting that man is a super-species in comparison to the rest of nature then make an argument against both the observation & calculation that supports that claim. If you can not then you would be best to stay out of it. Ants could kick our ass. In all seriousness though I think santo=dorf is missing the point as Juggs isn't saying God made us or the bible is fact. But it's probably hard for many to even consider the idea of 'intelligent design' when they see on CNN a pastor who I guess is supposed to represent those who believe in intelligent design say that the earth is only 10000 years old.

Okay, so the universe is supposed to be expanding constantly at the speed of light right? But the odds of a single cell evolving into what we've become on only one planet in what may be an infinite universe is an unreasonable thought? I think teachers should always mention and explain the belief in creationism but stick with what seems like the majority of scientists around the world believe. But then I really think about it, how the hell is some young kid at the age kids are taught about evolution supposed to understand any of this in the first place. Hell I'm pretty sure I don't have half of the knowledge to really form a sound opinion on this.

QUOTE(56789 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) It was his responsibility to land Air Force One in new orleans, get everyone aboard and take off right as the storm hit. That's what Chrisopther Walken would have done.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) The link works on my computer...possibly because I'm dialed in through a university network. Here's the text. That's not the link I meant but they're all working now anyways.

I watched The Cooler tonight starring Alec Baldwin, William H. Macy and Maria Bello. It was really great, and the performances from Baldwin as a badass and Macy as a hardluck loser in love were amazing. Anyone who's a fan of Casino or Owning Mahowny must see this right now! It's also got a very original script and interesting takes on characters we've seen before.

Being a complete novice about the US Supreme court, does that mean another person will have to be nominated for a supreme court spot and will one of the current members be bumped up to the chief position?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) link. Reported by the AP, confirmed by the Times Picayune. Yes, that's right...helicopter rescue efforts STOPPED while Bush was in town. You read that right. God, don't you wish there could have been just 1 more helicopter flight to the Convention Center? Sheesh, and people think the States have a liberal media. p.s. the link doesn't work here's a little thing I put on my blog http://thedanreport.blogspot.com/

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Blame Terry Ebbert, head of NO Emergency Operations. I believe there WAS an evacuation ordered. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/0...flpc21109012015 Here is a link that shows about 200 school buses that COULD have been used to get the poor people out of town. The mayor odered everyone to evacuate, then didn't help them do so. SOunds alot like an unfunded mandate. Yet AFTER the hurricane, you have the mayor pleading for people to send busses. Well MR. Mayor, you just let 200 busses get flooded because your Emergency Response person, that you personally appointed, f***ed up. I am sure that NO also had public transportation system, which included BUSES. Why were they not used to ferry out the poor? Again, because LOCAL people in charge screwed up. These people should have been out of town before the hurricane hit. http://www.drudgereport.com/
