while our "president" mumbles through his photo-ops about "hard work" and "progress", i thought i'd share some of the photo essays that are popping up online: A baby is passed above the crowd as people wait to leave the Superdome in New Orleans September 1, 2005.devastating images from national geographic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Behind the wheel of a bus he found in New Orleans, a young man drives to the Astrodome in Houston. The school bus was full of Katrina survivors he picked up along the road.jaw-dropping images from the weather channel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Orleans SWAT police armed with machine guns patrol downtown New Orleans after looting was reported in the area.interesting photos from time magazine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the poorest and weakest in america's gulf coast have been abandoned by the very government they paid their taxes to. those that still cling to life and struggle to find food and water for their families are now being treated like criminals. our nation's secret hypocricy and racism is bubbling up to the top for the whole world to see. is this not the very type of situation that america is supposed to be most capable to handle? how could our government leave these people to suffer and die? this is outrageous! if you missed it, go watch the congressional black caucus response to hurricane katrina, streaming over at c-span. these are our nations strongest and brightest leaders. and if youre as upset by all this as i am, please join me in DC on september 24th, for the united for peace and justice rally against the bush administration. UPDATE: check out this rant (mp3 file) by CNN's jack cafferty, on-air, assailing the failures of the government. you know shit is bad when the cock-sucking, cow-towing media loses it in front of a live audience. congratulations, cafferty, for saying what every reporter needs to keep saying over and over again. let the impeachment trials begin!!!
