Mighty River is a song by Railroad Earth. The name seems appropriate as 20000 people in Cedar Rapids have been forced from their homes.
After the debacle in New Orleans, will FEMA provide an adequate response to this disaster? I hope for the sake of the people in Iowa that some lessons were learned.
I have been writing this blog for 18 months now. I don't appear to be finding many readers, but I have not been promoting the blog either.
I try to write provocative antiwar comments, and particularly like to highlight news stories that contradict the standard right wing msm propaganda. Here is one mildly acerbic comment from November 07 about the Mukasey nomination and his ignorance about whether waterboarding is torture:
If you want to be attorney general, you should be able to answer a simple question about whether an action that is obviously illegal is, in fact, illegal. If you can't do that, how can you do the job?
I have a few white hairs. I was never in the armed forces. I'm a U. S. citizen. I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004. I have never been to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, or Rhode Island
