Much has been written about the brouhaha ensuing from Harriet Miers Nomination to the Supreme Court. There is one thing Republicans and Democrats seem to agree--there is little we know about her.

eriposte @ Left Coaster has stepped up to the challenge and has compiled the most comprehensive set of information I have seen on Harriet Miers. I would highly recommend interested Kossacks to read that post. Read More

Prince of Darkness Bob Novak reports that Bush Loyalists and Elites are beginning to turn on the President for his abysmal record on Iraq, Stem Cell, Economy, Katrina....(the list goes on). This come from a conference organized by New York investment firm Forstmann Little & Co in Aspen. Apparently there was prolific Bush Bashing, and as Novak puts it "The connecting link was hostility to Bush."

Duh! What took these dudes so long? Read More

Is Bush in a bubble where contrarian views (to the administrations's position...not reality) are simply unacceptable? In President Bush: Living Too Much in the Bubble? Time reports he has become dangerously isolated from reality.

The President's Increasing Isolation: A related factor, aides and outside allies concede, is what many of them see as the President's increasing isolation. Bush's bubble has grown more hermetic in the second term, they say, with fewer people willing or able to bring him bad news--or tell him when he's wrong. A youngish aide who is a Bush favorite described the perils of correcting the boss. "The first time I told him he was wrong, he started yelling at me," the aide recalled about a session during the first term. "Then I showed him where he was wrong, and he said, `All right. I understand. Good job.' He patted me on the shoulder. I went and had dry heaves in the bathroom."

E.J. Dionne Jr. from Washington Post has a scathing op-ed piece on the current status and future of this administration. In short, he states that this marks the End of the Bush Era!

The Bush Era is over. The sooner politicians in both parties realize that, the better for them -- and the country.

Michael Brown's background and consequent lack of experience in any form of emergency management has been well documented. Also, what has been documented is that he got the job as the Director of FEMA because he was a friend of friend.

Anything else? Did he have any role to play in the re-election of Geoorge Bush? Seems like there is a deeper connection between Bush and Brown. Read More

On State of War in Iraq:

"I think we may well have some kind of presence there over a period of time," Cheney said. "The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."

Seems like there is a growing chasm between members of this administration (the so called Bush is my God, and I will be loyal to him) and some key members of the Republican Party. Novak--yes, the man who leaked Valerie Plame's identity--is documenting the growing displeasure among Republicans of this administration's performance of their handling of Hurricane Katrina.

What Chertoff "got down" was the White House mantra, repeated endlessly, that the "after-action analysis" should not interfere with current recovery operations. It was similar to saying the Pearl Harbor attack should not have been investigated and nobody disciplined for failures until World War II was won.

I apologize if this story has been already posted. This story is so uplifting that I wanted to share it with this community. Please let me know if it has already been posted.

If not, here is the profile. Who is Deamonte Love you may ask? He single handedly rescued 6 children--a 5, and 14th month old, 3 children who were approximately 2 years old, a 3-year-old girl and led them to safety after the Hurricane. LA Times reported, the toddlers followed, Deamonte Love as as if he were their leader. Incidentally, Deamonte is 6 years old. Read More

Events that unraveled over the past 72 hours left us all stunned and speechless. This was happening in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We were warned that people's lives would be in danger. And, sure it was. Despite early warning, 1000 people died. By the time the count is complete, it is expected that the number of dead people will be closer to 10,000. Not to mention the extreme and widespread wreckage that has been left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

How did this happen, we wonder? There have been numerous posts documenting the reasons.

A consensus of opinion across blogs and MSM is that the death toll could have been significantly reduced had the decision makers been responsible, efficient and humane. On the contrary, they were irresponsible, inefficient and in-humane.

Actions and choices have consequences.
