I love Leonard Pitts, and I always make a point of checking out his columns.

This one was great at smacking down Newt, Limbaugh, and Tancredo.

So Newt Gingrich now says Sonia Sotomayor is not a "racist" after all. She must be trembling with relief.

Gingrich's backpedaling came last week in an article on HumanEvents.com. It leaves just two high-profile Republicans, former Rep. Tom Tancredo and radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh, still clinging to that absurd allegation.

I don't write many diaries, but I think Pitts column needs a look.

Folks, I don't write very many diaries. I must say though, I am disgusted by what I saw tonight. An entire group of people living in another world than the one I live in.

We all know how George Dubya Bush has a way with words.

Well, he is at it again, making a fool of himself and the country he speaks for.

Get this.

The Shrub, and PNAC have once again proven that they can fail at every possible level of government.

Here is the first paragraph in this story:

FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas - A diversion of dollars to help fight the war in Iraq has helped create a $530 million shortfall for Army posts at home and abroad, leaving some unable to pay utility bills or even cut the grass.

Bush's FEMA sucks. Period.

This story is just sad.

I scanned the diaries, and I'm sure this was diaried at some point in the past, but I want to make it something to talk about again.

FEMA has failed on so many levels.

Here you will find how bad Bush's version of FEMA has responded.

A quote:

"The big surprise here," says Matt Fellowes, a Katrina reconstruction expert with Brookings, "is how little money has actually gone out the door. The demand on the ground is just absolutely immense today; unfortunately, that demand has not been met yet."

Find it here

May 2 issue - The National Security Agency is not supposed to target Americans; when a U.S. citizen's name comes up in an NSA "intercept," the agency routinely minimizes dissemination of the info by masking the name before it distributes the report to other U.S. agencies. But it's now clear the agency disseminates thousands of U.S. names. U.N. ambassador nominee John Bolton told a Senate confirmation hearing he had requested that U.S. names be unmasked from NSA intercepts on a handful of occasions; the State Department said he had made 10 such requests since 2001, and that the department as a whole had made 400 similar requests over the same period. But evidence is emerging that NSA regularly supplies uncensored intercepts, including named Americans, to other agencies far more often than even many top intel officials knew.

I don't know what to make of this, but I don't like it. Read More

Time to be scared.....again.

This msnbc.com story tells us of the next thing to be afraid of.

WASHINGTON - An upcoming Homeland Security Department report outlines a dozen frightening if hypothetical scenarios such as a terrorist nuclear attack or spreading plague in airport bathrooms to spur state and local preparedness against security risks.

Then the Homeland Security Deptartment goes on to tell us, and the terrorists, that: Read More
