Katrina causes idiocy as well as damage
Celine Dion proves she thinks almost as well as she sings:
“Who cares if they take a TV? These people have been poor all their life – let them
have that ONE moment of touching what they’ve never had!” – Celine Dion
Guess Renee was not mindering her when she opened her gob.
And you knew it was coming…
And I thought we timed it badly…
A few of my muso and rock journo friends have expressed their sympathy at the timing of the arrival of Whisky & Westminster; ie landing on people’s desks on 7/21. Well I have found a worse bit of unintentional bad timing. Katrina (of Katrina & the Waves) has released a new album called…wait for it…Turn the Tide. Talk about a PR wonk’s worst nightmare.

First of all it seems Ken ?”>wants to invite the families of the bomboers to the 7/7 rememberance service. This is despite the fact some of them have praised the actions of the terrorists.
However all is not lost those lads at Harry’s Place are organising to set people straight on what Galloway has really been up to. They are going to hand out leatlets outside Galloway’s US hate-fest speaking tour.
Rescue Me
coz im lonely and im blue

come on and rescue me
One of the mixed blessings about the CBC strike is that the sneering CBC reports on the New Orleans rescue efforts have been replaced with sneering BBC reports on the New Orleans rescue efforts. I’m looking at you Matt Fry! Take a bow, Gavin Hewitt!
To any dispassionate observer of Leviathan, the wonder is that the State accomplishes anything, let alone on time and/or on budget. By that standard —admittedly a low bar to hurdle—the US federal response to New Orleans has been nimble and creative, considering all the roadblocks the incompetent Governor of Louisiana and her sidekick Mayor have left in their wake.
I attribute that agility not to George Bush nor his bureaucrats, but to the initiative and common sense of ordinary Americans; when faced with situations that the rulebook doesn’t allow for—they toss out the rulebook and find out what works instead.
We in Canada don’t need initiative or common sense. We have studies (in both official languages!) that prove it.
Natural disasters do not strike Canada, because Canadians are universally loved, especially by Mommy Earth. But should she (or more likely the Portland Hills Fault) slip up and accidentally level Vancouver with a 9+ Richter quake, our worries will be few, because our Government has been extensively preparing for this for years.
