Halliburton Gets 1st Katrina Rebuild Contracts

From Cynthia's Interests and Professor Kim's News Notes, guess who got the first rebuild contracts from the US government on Katrina?

Right...

Thanks for the tip, Kim, and thanks to she and Prometheus6 for providing links to the Katrina Relief Auction on flickr.com. I have an auction donation there and we hope to raise as much as possible by September 15 for direct contribution to the American Red Cross.

Kim and Earl are providing great coverage of the news regarding Katrina and politics that much of the mainstream media is not picking up or promoting. For instance, I believe that the sluggish and despicable response to the disaster by the US government is partially due to the politics of POVERTY. But some people are really drawn to what they view is racisim. I also think that the racism is very much in evidence when you read the comments from blogs and in public posting forums. Wow, such blatant hatred and fear such as I've not seen publically for a while.

My own protest image in flickr.com drew over 2,500 views and 79 comments. Some people are pretty ticked just over my "anti-Bush" message, which by the way was very much secondary to the important issues raised by the shift in balance of power in the US, caused by the death of our Supreme Court Chief Justice Rhenquist.

His loss means that our emperor who fiddles gets to appoint a REAL powerful person who will affect the US for generations to come, after Bush leaves office. Rhenquist may have been a conservative, but he was at least a jurisprudence expert and had some sense of balance. The next person appointed may tip things on the Court so far that the disaster from Katrina may be a drop in the bucket as far as social upheavel in the US...
