Vote for PSU!

Even though PSU has been shamelessly left out of the Mascot challenge the greatest university ever made by man is involved in a challenge w/ Sports Illustrated to determine the best place to tailgate in the nation! Vote early, vote often! LETS GO STATE!

Texas!

By all reports, and simple logic, President Bush will rush to Houston and other affected areas after hurricane Rita passes. I just think its weird the President is going to be in Texas. He is almost never there! I heard he hates Texas!

Rita....Yikes

Here we go again....Fuck.

It must be nice....

The Senate voted along party lines yesterday to reject creation of an independent panel to investigate the government's fumbling response to Hurricane Katrina.

It must be nice to be the majority party. Not surprising.....at all.

google censorship?

I tried to find a pic for the post below, so as usual, i googled New Orleans flooding, and New Orleans aftermath, and other things. I came up w/ nothing, nada, zippo. Is google censoring images?

Life view colored by partisan politics.

It is clear that the U.S. is currently a very partisan environment. However, it is interesting that it seems that partisan views really shape how people view different events. Overwhelmingly Democrats disapprove of how the Bush administration has handled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Likewise large numbers of Republicans think that the administration handled the disaster adequately or well.
I easily fall into the average democratic critic of the bush administrations handling of the relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina. My blue democrat brain completely fails to see the other side sees through its rose colored lenses.
Mere told me yesterday that there will only be autopsies performed on those who died in New Orleans if there is some initial evidence of foul play. She said, and I agree, that autopsies should be performed on everyone in order to determine whether they died of drowning or possibly dehydration and starvation. If they died of dehydration and starvation this indicates that they had survived the initial flood but perished because they didn't have adequate supplies and help arrived to late. This makes sense to me. Find out what happened and how it could have been done better. This would also involve determining whether any officials were negligent in their duties to come to the aid of United States Citizens.
