Gilligan Dies
Bob Denver, 70, who adopted West Virginia as his home after his career ended, died in North Carolina, where he recently had quadruple bypass surgery.
You are old if you remember him as Maynard G. Krebs.
Don Knotts also is feeling ill. Better send…
NYT Editorials Past (on Flood Control) and Present (on Katrina Blame)
The Old Gray Hag continues to sink deeper into the mire of self-obsessed, opportunistic Bush-bashing but ironically must doubt that anyone is actually reading her drivel.

Sean Penn, meet Billy Bob Thornton.
I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to PLUG Sean Penn’s latest movie. You’d think after starring in Mystic River Sean would know a little about boats. You’d think. Click “more” if you want to see more.

Hurricane Katrina: After-Action Report – Where were the breakdowns
Now that it seems everyone who is going to be rescued from New Orleans has been and the clean-up operation has begun, it’s time for an after-action report on what is and what is not to blame. This is probably going to be my last and most complete post…
Inner and Outer Levees
I came across two very thoughtful posts about Moral Levees, those bulwarks against chaos and catastrophe, and a third, which describes a levee not of moral construction, but of human will.
Jimmy “The White Kanye” Breslin Returns
Newsday columnist, Jimmy Breslin retired on November 2nd, 2004. His prediction of a John Kerry win were wrong, so Breslin slipped away to a cave on Long Island to scratch out his conspiracy and Bush theories. Like Gollum, he wilted into madness and p…
Planned Parenthood Diverting Katrina Relief Money
The people at Planned Parenthood are the kinds of cowards who give cowardice a bad name.
Dawn Eden demonstrated, today, how Planned Parenthood tried to divert money for Katrina Relief into their own abortion mills. Now, if you’re eugenicist, …
John Roberts Faces Expected Opposition
John Roberts nomination to replace William Renquist as Chief Justice has those who were opposing him as an associate justice energized. While Republicans such as Senator John Cornyn of Texas are saying things like, “The fact that he’s now been eleva…
Sheehan Off the News: Mississippi–Sadly–Too
One interesting effect of the Katrina Disaster in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama is that Cindy Sheehan has not been heard from. Appropriately her story has waned for the present and hopefully is will suffer a quick death though the MSM in their h…
Interview With Jordan Lorence of ADF
A big thank you to Greg Scott for arranging this interview. Jordan Lorence is a Senior Council attorney at the Alliance Defense Fund.

Superdome To Be Demolished?
The building has quite a history, but rumors are flying tonight about the future of the Superdome. A reporter from the U.K. Daily Record interviewed a member of the National Guard who was posted outside the structure. The serviceman doesn’t thin…
I’m Proud of America
That’s right. Proud. I love my country. I’m so fed up with the politicizing, and the blame game with respect to Hurricane Katrina. But instead of offering up an angry rant, I’m going to tell you why this disaster has given me even more reason to lov…
Local Fox Station Bans Anti-Bush Ad
In a field of nine democrats, I guess you have to try and stand out. So Brian’s ad starts out bashing the president and ends with Ellner wrapping his arms around his partner. According to Ellner, Fox refused the ad because it was “disrespectful to th…
Bloggers Got Katrina Wrong
For the past week never have more blogs, columns and editorials been written about a subject and never have more been wrong, wrong, wrong. Let me disabuse people of a few things.
It’s Time To Be Honest About Katrina
The blame game is fully rolling now and it is time to be completely honest about it.
Doomsday +7
It’s certainly true that response — not federal response, just plain old response — seemed slow. That’s because we were glued to TV sets watching a flood wash away one of America’s most storied cities. But that wasn’t necessarily the case.

Our house is a mess. From what I infer, the water rose over our house before the winds knocked all the trees down. The popcorn tree in front
