well, even if I didn't approve of the movie (which I do!), I would *quality this for using "when the levee breaks".

Throat Singing

Can't find a copy online with 30 seconds of searching, but my favourite throat singing is Yat-Kha's version of Led Zep's When The Levee Breaks.

I recommend it enough to make this mostly useless comment.

In case anyone comes looking to fix this, this was a video collage of photographs from McCain and Bush eating cake, and the wreckage left by Katrina that same day, to the sound track of Led Zepplin's "When the Levee Breaks".

Fucktard Of The Week - Rahm Emanuel

To follow on from Diogenes:

1. The relevant section from the case law cited:

Utilizing the language of the ordinance of 1787, the 13th Amendment declares that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist. This Amendment was adopted with reference to conditions existing since the foundation of our government, and the term 'involuntary servitude' was intended to cover those forms of compulsory labor akin to African slavery which, in practical operation, would tend to produce like undesirable results. [240 U.S. 328, 333] It introduced no novel doctrine with respect of services always treated as exceptional, and certainly was not intended to interdict enforcement of those duties which individuals owe to the state, such as services in the army, militia, on the jury, etc.

That's right, the constitution and the Supreme Court both recognize that individuals have an inherent duty to the state which protects and provides for them.

2. Here's what Rahm is actually proposing:

Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They'll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state or community, where they will learn what to do in the event of biochemical, nuclear or conventional attack; how to assist others in an evacuation; how to respond when a levee breaks or we're hit by a natural disaster. These young people will be available to address their communities' most pressing needs.

3. Here's how Obama interprets the means of national service:

President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps.

4. If enacted, which seems unlikely, the United States would quickly become a totalitarian state much like:

Brazil
Denmark
Finalnd
Germany
Greece
Switzerland

All of which have compulsory national service.

Corps of Engineers caught harassing citizens on Internet

It's nice and all that they are having this nasty letter contest but, 1800+ people are already dead. She can blame the corps for the levee breaks and as a counter the corps can point fingers at the government.

Both are right and wrong. This problem has been brought up time and again since the 70's. People could have heeded the warnings and left. The local government still had many options to move people that were unable; before it hit.

The blame is squarely on the local and federal governments for not doing their job and to a lesser extent the oversight of the citizens to make sure the government was doing their job--in their best interest.

As for now days... It's still up to the same people and always will be. Both sides are acting childish and all that will give us is Katrina II.
