Google has posted satellite images of New Orleans on Google Maps. The images where taken on the August 31st. You can switch between before and after satellite images. It is staggering.

Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=new+orleans&t=e

The breaches in the levees are clearly visible and the extent of the devastation becomes very real. For some reason I find the satellite images more emotionally engaging than the images on TV. I don't know why. I actually got scared to click 'zoom' one more time.

The Minority Liberal party of Canada with the help of the NDP and the Bloc Québécois Has managed to get their same-sex marriage legislation passes in the House of Commons. It still needs to pass in the Senate but they generally rubber stamp whatever is passed in the house.

Read the story on CBC:

Same-sex legislation passes

This is a great day for all that is good and just. Marriage and families will be stronger for it.

Some of you may have heard about the passing of Aaron Hawkins of Uppity Negro, and that is a horrible tragic loss.

I want to share with you an email that his sister received from a certain republican FUCKHEAD at GOPUSA:

It is like killing too birds with one stone. The world gets rid of another liberal God hater and another worthless porch-monkey at the same time. To bad he did't stick around to see Bush get relected.

Bush/Cheney 2004!
Bush/Cheney 2004!
Bush/Cheney 2004!
Bush/Cheney 2004!
Bush/Cheney 2004!
Bush/Cheney 2004!
Bush/Cheney 2004!

This is the email address of the piece of shit who wrote that:
May they all rot in hell.

Update [2004-9-15 21:55:15 by RationalBias]: I posted this diary in a fit of rage. I may have propagated a hoax. I will remove the email link until I hear otherwise. The fact remains though is that someone sent this email to the grieving sister who had just lost her brother.

Roe v. Wade limps on to fight another day...

From CNN:

A three-judge panel of a federal appeals court dismissed a motion Tuesday from the original plaintiff in Roe v. Wade to have the landmark 1973 abortion case overturned, a court clerk said.

Sometimes it all seems hopeless, but there are still small moments of justice in this world.

We can never take for granted the rights that we and those before us have fought so hard for.

OK this is getting crazy... er:

Kerry's Commanding officer has issued another affidavit stating that he was misquoted in the Globe.

From Reuters:

Elliott later issued another affidavit -- witnessed and notarized -- this time saying he was misquoted by the Globe and reaffirming his belief that Kerry has "not been honest about what happened in Vietnam."

Elliott also wrote: "Had I known the facts, I would not have recommended Kerry for the Silver Star for simply pursuing and dispatching a single wounded, fleeing Viet Cong."

It was bound to happen. The first gay divorce in Canada. A lesbian couple in Toronto is filing for divorce but found that the Canadian divorce laws specified that marriage was between a man and a woman. Read More

As a Canadian, this pretty much sums up the feelings around here (from lies.com):

So here's what we see: a rogue superpower, doing whatever it wants, answerable to no one (foreign or domestic), throwing dissenters at home and abroad in jail forever, flouting international law and its own laws on any whim, starting wars for fun and profit, alienating the world and even its closest allies, run by (at best) a mediocre intellect with a criminal background who blatantly stole the "election". The populace of this rogue state is too cowed and terrified of being labelled as "unpatriotic" or singled out for punishment to speak up for their basic rights, more of which disappear -- perhaps forever -- every day.

Onward, Christian Soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before!

Christ the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go!

Onward, Christian Soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before!

Like a might army
Moves the Church of God!
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod!

We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity!

Onward, Christian Soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before!

Onward. then, ye people!
Join our happy throng!
Blend with ours your voices,
In the triumph song!
Glory laud and honour,
Unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages,
Men and Angels sing.

Onward, Christian Soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before!

For the last couple hours I have had serious problems connect to several sites. These include KOS (I have been able to connect twice in the last hour, long enough to write this), Eschaton (same thing, only able to connect twice in the last couple hours), TPM (unable to connect all evening), and Johnkerry.com (unable to connect at all this evening).

Several checks of other (non-political) websites has shown none of these symptoms.

Is anyone else having similar problems?

audible.com now has the Commission Hearings available for free download.

At last check, Clarke's testimony was not available, but should be soon. Apple should do one of their "Silhouette" ads using it as the soundtrack.

This poll comes out of some discussion on a previous diary entry. Some people expressed a strong feeling that Canadians should not "meddle" in American politics.

So, I just wanted to get a sense of the general feelings here about the issue.
