"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."
The Big Picture, 4/29/04.

    CINDY SHEEHAN MOVING TO NEW ORLEANS TO RECAPTURE MEDIA ATTENTION:

    "My story is important," said Cindy.  "More important than a few dead people killed by Bush's global warming-induced hurricane.  Bush has killed millions of people in Iraq, and the media needs to start listening to me again.  Maybe now that I'm in New Orleans I'll get the attention I deserve again."

    There weren't millions killed in Iraq. Sheehan had previously stated that "we are waging nuclear war in Iraq." This woman evidently has no idea what she's talking about. 

    Update: Commenter Tom Jefferson has pointed out that the above-quoted article is written by a satirist and is therefore likely a satire. 


    CLINTON'S DISASTER RESPONSE TOOK LONGER THAN BUSH'S:

    Critics say President Bush's personal response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster was too little, too late - with an Air Force One flyover the day after New Orleans' levees broke and a trip to Baton Rouge two days later.

    President Clinton, on other the other hand, got glowing reviews for responding to his administration's biggest disaster, the Oklahoma City bombing - even though he took a day longer to arrive on the scene than Bush did last week.


    LOUSIANA'S PORK-BARREL PROJECTS DIDN'T INCLUDE FUNDS FOR A LEVEE.  Louisiana had put over $540 million worth of pork projects into the recently-passed $24 billion transportation bill. The money wasn't allocated towards the levee they needed.
