Not too important
Author: Raine
Date: 06/12/2008 12:33:39
Yesterday, John McCain declared that bringing the troops home and setting a deadline for withdrawal for Iraq was "not too important". What exactly is important to these people? Certainly not helping Americans who are still in a state of crisis and need. Like troop withdrawal seems to be for for McCain, FEMA doesn't seems to think getting aid to disaster victims is important either. Republican mismanagement: it is deadly, a lot like war. FEMA gave away $85,000,000 worth of aid slated for victims of the storm. It didn't go where it was meant to go.
There are so many things wrong with this story I do not know where to begin. We are still evicting people from
FEMA trailers. A report issued in April of THIS year says FEMA is still not ready: So WHY is FEMA giving away the very items it would need for a disaster this size? Why didn't FEMA make an attempt to get these supplies to the people who have been calling to get them? Where did the 85 million dollars money go?
The magnitude of the criminally negligent mismanagement of this agency is still raging on. FEMA knew that these people in the trailers needed these supplies. Hell - FEMA knew that these people needed trailers 3 years years ago and it took them upwards of a year to get them to people, and when they did, they were poisonous. FEMA could not get ice delivered to the victims of the disaster, so how did they change that policy? They decided to no longer store ice for hurricane victims. These are not just a matters of social issues, they are matters of fiscal mismanagement as well. People are still dying due to these missteps in the Gulf.
We must elect someone that really cares about Americans and REALLY cares about a disaster response agency being able to do it's job. Oh, and if you think it is John McCain? You are wrong. He never thought it was that important, just like telling the truth. His patterns of deceptions can be found here. There are people still dying from the aftereffects of Katrina. But don't think it about it too much. It isn't important, really. So let them eat cake, today, americans are still dying.

The material, from basic kitchen goods to sleeping necessities, sat in warehouses for two years before the Federal Emergency Management Agency's giveaway to federal and state agencies this year.
James McIntyre, FEMA's acting press secretary, said that FEMA was spending more than $1 million a year to store the material and that another agency wanted the warehouses torn down, so "we needed to vacate them."
"Upon review of our assets and our need to continue to store them, we determined that they were excess to FEMA's needs; therefore, they are being excessed from FEMA's inventory," McIntyre wrote in an e-mail.
[...]
"These are exactly the items that we are desperately seeking donations of right now: basic kitchen household supplies," said Kegel, executive director of Unity of Greater New Orleans. "These are the very things that we are seeking right now. FEMA, in fact, refers homeless clients to us to house them. How can we house them if we don't have basic supplies?"
[...]
McIntyre said that most of the items given away were not "standard-issue type supplies" that FEMA would have distributed after other disasters. He said that using the GSA, which manages federal property, to get rid of those stockpiles was "standard process."...
Pallets at the Fort Worth warehouse were piled high with boxes of buckets, boots, cleansers, mops and brooms. There were stacks of tents, lanterns and camp stoves for people still displaced, as well as clothing, bedding, plates and utensils.
Meanwhile, Kegel said, Unity's clients can take only "one fork, one spoon, one knife; they can only take one plate. We don't have enough to go around."
But FEMA said the items were no longer needed in the stricken region. So it declared them "federal surplus" and gave them away.
There are so many things wrong with this story I do not know where to begin. We are still evicting people from
FEMA trailers. A report issued in April of THIS year says FEMA is still not ready:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is better prepared for the next disaster, but it is not completely ready for another Hurricane Katrina-scale catastrophe, the agency's watchdog says.
The magnitude of the criminally negligent mismanagement of this agency is still raging on. FEMA knew that these people in the trailers needed these supplies.

He never thought it was that important, just like telling the truth. His patterns of deceptions can be found here.
McCain Voted Against Establishing A Commission To Study The Response To Hurricane Katrina...TWICE. McCain voted against amendments establishing a Congressional commission to examine Federal, State, and local response to devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in U.S. Gulf Region, especially in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and other areas impacted in the aftermath; and makes immediate corrective measures to improve future responses. (2006 Senate Vote #6, 2/2/2006; 2005 Senate Vote #229, 9/14/2005)

It's pretty telling that not even the real hardcore Republicans get enthusiatic about McCain being their candidate, even if he is just another party scumbag.

Nice post, Raine!
And on Fed's response to Katrina - consider the funding supplemental. (caution! large .pdf) The major funds to be allocated for Hurricane Katrina relief were put in the 2006 Iraq War supplemental. (Even though, two years later Bush whined about a Democratic Congress adding spending to the 2008 supplemental that was not related to the war.)
The effect? If you read the 2006 bill carefully, any monies allocated for Katrina relief and NOT spent within the 2006 fiscal year automatically reverted to Iraq War funding.

Morning, folks!
The "Friends of 61" scholarship dinner was a raging success...we had the largest turnout in our long history for the event last night. It was also the Troop's 80th birthday...considering that the BSA is 98 years old this year, that's not too shabby; not very many Troops older than us in the US, and we are indeed one of the longest tenured units in the northeast.
Did anyone watch "Deal or No Deal" last night? What's this I hear about some dude wearing a scout uniform?
And you all heard about the tornado in Iowa by now. I've been in the field in some pretty severe weather myself; you've got noplace to go. I suppose the real news should be that it wasn't more than 4 fatalities.
Of course, they won't be getting any help from FEMA....

Mornin' Everybody, :coffee:
Sorry I wasn't around yesterday - I had a crash n burn day. Excellent post Raine - I still have visions in my sleep of acres and acres of trailers sitting out in the hot sun somewhere in Arkansas (I believe) that are costing us taxpayers millions of dollars in storage. Just stiing there. Wasted, just like the truckloads of ice that melted outside New Orleans waiting to be delivered to folks who throats were parched. :bad:
Cheers,

Someone drew an arrow towards my name and wrote "I like the cock." and, then drew a very elementary picture of a blowjob.

Say now, if the right continually brings up Chappaquiddick (circa 1969), are we now allowed to continue harping on the Keating Five? (circa 1989).
I was just reading up on that...curious that Mr. McCain was the only Republican involved in it....even more curious that he's the only one still in office.

Round trip on the Omnibus $5.00
Round trip from Vienna Metro to Van Dorn - $9.00 (rush hour prices) $5.00 all other times
Walk 1/2 mile to work - 0
total - $10 - $14 a day!
Yeah - mass transit so frickin easy when you like just outside of the more established areas!

Here's a list that I found and sent to Steph almost a month ago - it is slightly repetitive.
He's older than "Life" and "Look."
He's older than Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck.
He's older than the stars of "The Bucket List"--Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The jokes write themselves....
He's older than disposable diapers... which i'm wearing right now!
Batman (1939)
The Manhattan Project (1939) and the Atomic Bomb
LaGuardia Airport (1939)
Pinocchio (1940)
When he was born the US had only 48 States. Could he deal with the additional 2?
Became a state in:
Alaska - Jan. 3, 1959
Hawaii - Aug. 21, 1959
Also younger than McCain:
The NBA-1946 NASCAR-1948 The NCAA Basketball Tournament-1939
And I am a McCain admirer who is only a few years younger. I'm sure he's laughing at this, if he's seen it.
He's older than BATMAN, GANDALF, SOCIAL SECURITY, CAR LICENSE PLATES, SADIE HAWKINS DAY, SEEING EYE DOGS, LIFE MAGAZINE, HOOVER DAM, NYLON TOOTHBRUSH BRISTLES, MARCH OF DIMES, SUPERMAN, and CHILD LABOR LAWS
Wow - I'm amazed that in all these comments very few people have contributed any ideas! Here are a few:
-Ballpoint Pen
-Computer Software
-Microwave Oven
-Slinkey
-Silly Puddy
-Frisbee

Heya Folks,
Here is the most recent SCOTUS Decision (5-4 in favor of upholding Habeas Corpus).
Two words why a vote for McCain is a HUGE mistake "Supreme Court"
BREAKING NEWS -- U.S. Supreme Court issues ruling in cases challenging whether Military Commissions Act of 2006 violates the habeas corpus rights of foreign detainees held at Guantanamo Bay: According to this post at "SCOTUSblog," "[t]he ruling below, which found for the government, is reversed. Justice Kennedy wrote the opinion. The Chief Justice, Justice Scalia, Thomas and Alito dissented."
You can access today's 134-page, 5-4 ruling in Boumediene v. Bush, No. 06-1195, at this link. For those wishing to view the oral argument transcript, it remains online here.

If you live on a bus line or can walk to the station, the MBTA in Boston is great. (Yes on both counts for me.)
But if you have to drive and then pay for parking, it becomes ineffective. It's $5 to park for the day, plus $2 one-way to Boston. (unlike other cities, Boston is a flat rate no matter the time or distance).
So, you've got $9/day to take the subway, or you can still find parking downtown for $7/day. (Fan pier, 5 minutes to walk to Downtown Crossing)

Heya folks,
Here is more from the most recent SCOTUS decision: (emphasis mine)
Both the Chief Justice and Justice Antonin Scalia issued dissenting opinions, and all four dissenters joined in both opinions. In his dissent, Justice Scalia writes, "The game of bait-and-switch that today's opinion plays upon the Nation's Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed." Justice Scalia's 25-page dissenting opinion concludes, "The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today. I dissent." Damn Scalia
At "SCOTUSblog," Lyle Denniston has a post titled "Court gives detainees habeas rights." Lyle's post describes the ruling as "a stunning blow to the Bush Administration in its war-on-terrorism policies."
Cheers,
mfaye

Ah yes, here's more about the stimulus...
I'd call that food, clothing, fuel...
The retail sales report showed that general merchandise stores, which include department stores and discount stores such as Wal-Mart, saw sales rise by 1.2 percent, the best showing since a 2.1 percent rise in March 2007.

I'll chime in on "Who Killed the Electric Car", too.
Well worth your time. I just had to shake my head. I live four miles from work, and rarely go more than 30 miles at a clip. I think I could drive one.
Actually, what really infuriated me was the advertising....we can get people to buy anything except electric cars, I guess.

Abstaining from questions involving formal sovereignty and territorial governance is one thing. To hold the political branches have the power to switch the Constitution on or off at will is quite another. The former position reflects this Court’s recognition that certain matters requiring political judgments are best left to the political branches. The latter would permit a striking anomaly in our tripartite system of government, leading to a regime in which Congress and the President, not this Court, say "what the law is."

you know, I assumed that you knew when bobber siad we saw it, that meant he and I... :P
The thing about the movie was how one industry can systematically dismantle another.
It reminds me of things like when an AMAZING invention comes along that can change the world, and Company buys it becuase it threatens said company, takes the patent and hides it away.
After watching that movie, I promised that I would never buy a GM car again.

Faye, dunno if you saw what I posted about Joe Biden regarding the bankruptcy bill, but I really think that is a big reason. A lot of constituents are employees of those companies there in Delaware.
But I wanted to clear it up that Obama Voted NO to the bill. Hillary Clinton was a no vote becuase that was when Bill was in the hospital with his heart issues.

Deleware being the incorporation-friendly state (prior to Nevada's attempt to take that mantle) - and the associated votes Biden had to cast as such regarding the U.S. economy does inhibit his chance for a VP nod. However, on foreign policy - Biden has been so correct. Sec of State - he could do great, great work in that position.

Liv, when you click on that audicon, a popup of Roll call doesn't happen? It is a link to the senate vote for the 2005 Bankruptcy bill.

Going back to the Air America Place days those of us who listened to the show via the show stream would frequently make fun of the PSA's that aired during the commercial breaks. One of the PSA's warned of the danger of putting poison ivy next to one's eye. This turned into a running gag about the power of Big Ointment as being the sponsor of the PSA. This also led to some of us saying that other PSA's were in the power of Big (fill in the blank). If mgmonklewis was on this blog, he could tell you many of the tales, especially since there is no archive of the old Air America Place blog for me to look up the old bits.
That's the short version and just remember Rum is for dancing. Rum is for fun.

Shane-O you don't know about big ointment! Sorry. It is long standing blog obsession, one of the SMS show PSA about getting something in your eye, etc.
Livin, you are our blog archivist, splain!
Going back to the Air America Place days those of us who listened to the show via the show stream would frequently make fun of the PSA's that aired during the commercial breaks. One of the PSA's warned of the danger of putting poison ivy next to one's eye. This turned into a running gag about the power of Big Ointment as being the sponsor of the PSA. This also led to some of us saying that other PSA's were in the power of Big (fill in the blank). If mgmonklewis was on this blog, he could tell you many of the tales, especially since there is no archive of the old Air America Place blog for me to look up the old bits.
That's the short version and just remember Rum is for dancing. Rum is for fun.

Not the actual leaf, mind you, but something actually far more dangerous.

Simpsons was DELICIOUS. Best laughs were: when the drunks in Moes ran out of Moes into church, while the Church people ran out of the Church into Moes and, spilled coffee at the AA meeting turning into a fist fight. Two things that hit close to home, I suppose!
:rofl:
As for Hairspray the musical, I refuse to watch it. Divine is the ONLY Edna. And John Travolta belongs to a cult that believes gay people can be changed (by paying the cult lots of money and undergoing their "therapy"). :puke:
I frankly don't understand why he is not considered fair game since he seems to outwardly not disapprove of gays.

I had a dear friend in Liverpool (NS) that had not one, but two liver and kidney transplants up in Halifax. They gave him 5 more years of decent life (although he is now deceased.)
The family didn't have the coverage denied or were forced to sell their house to pay for it.

Wow. The DNC is moving it's operations to CHICAGO.
In a major shakeup at the Democratic National Committee -- and a departure from tradition -- large parts of the committee's operations are relocating to Chicago to be fully integrated with the Obama campaign.
The DNC's political department, housed in Washington, D.C., will be dramatically rebuilt, with staffers offered a choice of moving to Chicago, joining state operations, or staying in Washington, DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney said.
But the power will clearly be shifting to a centralized Chicago hub.
The DNC's key role in coordinating political operations with state parties is expected to largely be taken over and overseen by Obama's senior staff in Chicago, state party officials said.

Well, taking with a grain of salt, learned about it from Wonkette.
But apparently Jindal is one of those freaky Christian types (like...oh say...That Passion guy, who hates the jews...can't remember his name). Apparently he had a girlfriend in...college or something, not important, and at some point, she goes a lil nutty, and he tries to exoricise her.

Further proof that abstinence education is a crock. They expect kids to keep it wrapped until they get married denying basic biology especially as people tend to marry later. And these dimwits don't understand that sex is more than just vaginal intercourse. They can't reconcile the contradictions of the message. It's no better than the old double standard when women were supposed to be virgins on their wedding night but there was no such expectation of guys.

I noticed the Gettysburg thing. My brother just got back from a vacation up in that area. He went to the battlefield and said it was a very emotional place. A lot of men died on that land both south and yankees. He sent me a post card of a painting of Gen. R.E. Lee on his faithful horse Traveler coming back to his headquarters on July 4 1863. The artist is Dale Gallon. Maybe more people should watch things about the Civil War and learn that the yankees did horrible things to. It was a different time in our country and all southern people are not bad.
