Katrina and the War
The following 2 minute commentary will be broadcast over WORT community radio in Madison, Wisconsin on Monday, September 26th, at 5am, 6am, 9am CDT, after Rita has devastated Galveston and Houston:
The incompetence and neglect of the current administration was laid bare by FEMA and hurricane Katrina. The funds for levy construction were sent to Iraq instead. The poor were left to fend for themselves in New Orleans while 40% of the Louisiana National Guard were in Iraq. But global warming has been rising off the charts, especially in the last fifteen years. Hurricanes have increased in intensity 60% and in duration 50% since 1949, with a pronounced increase in category four and five hurricanes in recent decades. But junior in the White House broke his campaign promise of 2000 to do something about global warming, and five years later our Southern Coastline is being systematically devastated from Florida to Texas in the last two years. Ironically, the oil industry states are being pummeled the worst. I wonder if they still believe global warming is a myth? Once again, the faith based presidency is being challenged by reality. From Social Security to Iraq to Downing Street Minutes to Karl Rove’s treason to Cindy Sheehan to Katrina and Rita, no wonder people have finally realized this is a loser in the White House. Too bad it’s one year too late. Like a battered housewife, so-called patriotic America doesn’t know when to quit on this blind fool. To learn more about “The War at Home: Hurricane Katrina, Poverty and Racism” come to the Madison Area Peace Coalition’s meeting on Tuesday 6:30pm at Wil Mar, 953 Jenifer Street.
