- Bush: The Worst Disaster (3.83 / 6)
  
  Nearly perfect caption, but I would change it to:
  Bush: The Worst Disaster in US History
  Worst President Ever
  Thanks for capturing this picture, it really sums up the chimpy jerk. Can he spin his way out of this latest Bush disaster? The RWCM is working on it round the clock, but at least a few citizens are speaking out, particularly the one who told off Cheney: Go F**k yourself, Mr. Cheney!
  That was beautiful, I hope to see it on the Daily Show tonight.

    - A distinct possibility (4.00 / 2)
      
      I'm Irish-American (i.e. I still have relatives over there, I'm considering applying for citizenship) and even though the country often comes across as pretty conservative to the US, primarily because abortion is illegal over there (although it's more like "if you want one, get on a boat and go to England"). Well, I'm not going to go into depth about the political leanings of the Irish, but I can tell you that they HATE BUSH. Most of that is due to the fact that Bill Clinton is a national hero on a par with "native son" JFK. He took a genuine interest in the Irish peace process, whereas all Bush has done with the British Isles is make it look like he and Tony Blair are having an extramarital relationship.
      So, I think it's a possibility that the broadcast was done on purpose. The Irish are clever, have great senses of humor, and can't stand President Dumbass, so I really wouldn't be surprised.

        It's not so much that they hate him as that they can smell the blarney a mile off.
        They disregard him, more.
        And they're waiting him out.
        Leave it to them to put the words to the image!

        I'm not IA, but have lots of friends who are. I love Sky news & my first thought was, "Way to go, Sky!" I'm sure they did it on purpose; it's very much in keeping with the Irish sense of humor, and their feelings about our idiot Prez.
        If any of you are interested in citizenship, the U.S. has a special arrangement with Ireland where you can hold dual citizenship (taking Irish citizenship, while retaining U.S. citizenship).
        Here are some links to get you started:

      - Yeah (none / 0)
        
        Breaks my heart that Blair joined George and Dick on their excellent Iraqi Adventure.
        PM after PM, and President after President did nothing constructive to stop the troubles until Clinton and Blair got going on it. But everything positive that Blair has done was completely flushed done the toilet with his complicity in Iraq. He easily had the cover to not go along - what were there 2 million people in Trafalgar Square on that anti-war march in 2003.
        Without Blair, Bush would not have been able to go. Blair gave Bush desperately needed cover. And in the end, Bush just sticks it to Blair every chance he gets.

        All the staff of SKY-Per. are anti-Bush as well as 95% of Japanese citizens.
        They hate him and laughed at his stupid statements.
        I believe the free-spirited Irish tech-staff put this caption purposely.

    They were evidently simply quoting Bush (thus the colon after "Bush"), and with the phrase structured that way it just "happened" to be perfect for a double entendre.
    In other words, a very happy coincidence, and artfully placed.

A word or two about Sky News (none / 0)

First, although Sky News IS owned by Murdoch, it's hardly a clone of Fox. Indeed, it's usually hard to believe there's any relationship at all -- except when one of Fox's "newsmen" contributes something -- because it is actually quite objective. There's none of Fox's editorializing during reports; there's none of the idiotic wingnut banter in the studio. In fact, it's a perfectly legitimate news operation. They are often quite critical of the US, especially over Iraq and, now, the handling of NOLA. I certainly do think the "Bush: Worst disaster in US history" caption was intentional" And good on them for having done it -- By the way, I saw it this afternoon, my time.
Living where I do, in Oman, I have access to three international satellite systems, so I'm able to compare news coverage from all of the following: BBC, Sky, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN International, Fox, MSNBC, and MacNeil Lehrer on PBS. And that's excluding German, Austrian, and Swiss channels, which I can also get. During the NOLA coverage, I've mostly been watching the American ones -- except Fox; coverage on Sky and BBC have both been good, but not non-stop. The German ones have been interesting, too: they're horrified at what happened, but they've been positively derisive in their comments about Bushco.
And by the way: Sky is NOT Irish; it is UK-based, although they do have a slightly different Irish version.

The Time Bomb (4.00 / 5)

My latest translation. What do you think of Senor Cabrera's opinion?
http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2005/09/08/036a1mun.php
"New Orleans and the Time Bomb," by Angel Guerra Cabrera, La Jornada, September 8, 2005
The thousands of inert human corpses floating on or submerged beneath the water in New Orleans could just as easily be those of living beings housed in care centers hundreds of kilometers from the city, and even though confronted by an uncertain future, at least still be alive. How many dreams, hopes, loves, endearments, plans and experiences are now buried forever, not really beneath the flood, a consequence that was widely predicted would occur if a large hurricane struck the mythical city of the Mississippi, but rather buried by the insensibility of the gang now governing in the United States, by its marriage to capital, by its undervaluing the lives of the poor. We won't consider here other perspectives on and causes of this debacle but just the high cost in lives and human suffering and the destruction of a priceless piece of the cultural patrimony. Let's center on one aspect: was there an effective plan of evacuation and the political will to make it work so that not even a single person would die? This is the least that one could expect from the richest and most powerful country in the world, one that possesses more than adequate means of transport and that dedicates billions of dollars supposedly to preserve the security of its citizens.
But no, the slogan of the authorities was "Save yourself if you can!" as they pretended ignorance of those, mostly blacks, who did not have cars or money or a place to which to escape. Indeed, tens of thousands, are now accused of having chosen to remain. Some drowned and others went days stricken by hunger and thirst in locales where no one came to rescue them. When the indolence of the authorities before this drama turned into a huge national scandal that gravely threatened the image of Bush II, aid slowly began to flow.
We should not be surprised that this would occur in a capitalistic system, where the main thing is the accumulation of wealth for a minority. In the current stage of capitalism known as neoliberalism, this seminal trait of the system has been exaggerated to the extreme with the "weakening" of the government, the replacement of a politics of social assistance by that of the "invisible hand" of the market, the replacement of what were once public services with the good will of the corporations and the non-profits. What a grotesque spectacle it was to see the two, Bush and William Clinton, begging private donations from the White House, center of a power that wastes in enterprises of death thousands of times more than that which is required to rebuild New Orleans and to sustain the dispossessed during the time necessary for reconstruction. The people of the imperium who exempt millionaires and huge businesses from taxes, who maintain hundreds of military bases around the world, who occupy countries for the benefit of a few, how grotesque it was to see them begging for crumbs for the damned.
The disaster of New Orleans reveals the profound moral crisis that cuts through the State and the dominant class of the United States. During recent decades, and particularly during the government of the "eternal vacationer," funds for health, social security, community services and even for the agency in charge of protection against disasters have been severely cut. All the resources are insufficient where the politics of war is the main concern, and this is why the dikes that held back Lake Ponchartrain were not reinforced. The influence of this fanatically greedy cult also explains how hundreds of square kilometers of wetlands--indispensable for the ecological equilibrium of the area and to protect the city from storm surges--were sacrificed to real estate speculation. Under Bush, who refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, the dangers of global warning are held in contempt in order not to prejudice the exorbitant gains of the US oil companies. As a consequence, the temperature of the sea continues to rise, a fact that makes probable more and more hurricanes of this unusual intensity. In sum, it wasn't Katrina that destroyed New Orleans; it was greed, racism, and the government's abandonment of its responsibilities.
This disaster also reveals the existence of the growing third world inside of the superpower, an existence whose magnitude has made it possible for the middle class of the US to see it for the first time on their TV screens. This is a reality that will not interest the mainstream media nor please those enjoy the privileges of the "American way of life," but it is a time bomb that could explode the system.

  Check also this op'ed from Mario Soares, portuguese president from 1986-96. It's a translation into spanish apparead today in La Vanguardia, one of the main papers from Barcelona, Spain:
  "Las imágenes transmitidas a todo el mundo son de una crueldad atroz. Duele verlas. Es imposible no pensar en la dimensión social y racial de la tragedia, como es imposible no pensar en la dimensión política. EE.UU. es un país profundamente dividido, con guetos de miseria y de pobreza comparables con los peores del Tercer Mundo. ¿Siempre ha sido así? Tal vez. Pero los dos mandatos del presidente Bush, tan infelices tanto en el orden interno como en el externo, han contribuido mucho a agravar su situación, y de manera peligrosa. Los amigos sinceros de EE.UU. como yo tienen el deber de decirlo bien alto para que la opinión ilustrada norteamericana les oiga y tenga el valor de cambiar el rumbo que se ha seguido hasta ahora."
