This is from the
Army Times. My apologies if it has been diaried already.
NEW ORLEANS -- Combat operations are underway on the streets "to take this city back" in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"This place is going to look like Little Somalia," Brig. Gen. Gary Jones, commander of the Louisiana National Guard's Joint Task Force told Army Times Friday as hundreds of armed troops under his charge prepared to launch a massive citywide security mission from a staging area outside the Louisiana Superdome. "We're going to go out and take this city back. This will be a combat operation to get this city under control."
Unbelievable. Somalia? . This is it. The meme the administration will push this week. The swifboating of the victims that Bush tried to start on GMA with his "zero tolerance" before the shit really hit the fan.

CNN spinning for Bush
Fri Mar 04, 2005 at 12:51:44 PM PDT
Oh my god. CNN just did a report on Inside Politics, about Social Security and the competing "road shows". Coverage of the Dem event started with "protestors" outside mocking the Democrats as ostriches with "their head in the sand" and a soundbyte from a young guy wanting the "option" of private accounts. Then the reporter knocked the Dem event because questions were not taken from the audience and the only "real people" (dripping with reporter's sarcasem) were on the stage with "prepared" comments. He then contrasted this with the Santorum event where "democrats infiltrated the event" with nasty comments. Awful. Awful. Awful. There is no liberal media. The corporate media has no shame. I am enraged.
Contact CNN about Countdown Clock

CNN has a silly countdown clock always on screen that counts down the time until the 1st state polls (NH) close.
They have explained this clock many times and talk about the various times that state polls close, but they are not letting people know that if they are on line when the polls close that they still have the right to vote - no matter how long it takes.
