Recruits are still needed for next week's blogathon on Katrina, Rita, New Orleans, Louisiana, Mississippi, and other areas devastated by these storms--which impacted an area nearly as large as the state of Minnesota.
We must never forget, nor must we allow others to forget, what happened in 2005--and how New Orleans has been neglected and her people given the shaft since then.
And we must need to eradicate the mainstream media's lies--such as
the above often-shown picture which spread the meme of incompetence on the part of New Orleans and Louisiana--when the real story is that Louisiana had wanted to use these buses to evacuate, but FEMA wouldn't allow her to because they had no air conditioning.
As for what this blogathon's looking for: anything on New Orleans, Louisiana, Mississippi, or the other areas hit by the federal flood, Katrina or Rita. Even a good rant would be welcome--or even a candidate diary as long as the topic ties in with Katrina and 8/29.
Because of this nonsense--McSame is planning on announcing his running mate on 8/29/08, Katrina's 3rd anniversary. That's right, let 'em eat cake McSame. If that won't be a diversion of attention from Katrina's and the flood's anniversary, I don't know what it is.
