Did you notice...
how all of those nasty, underhanded questions about the damage, flooding, and poor response to Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast got suddenly quiet once the truth came out and the sensationalism ended?

The truth, and seeing all of those stranded cars on the highways trying to leave Houston (no one talks about that, either) shut them up.

1. I did
It has also exposed the incompetence of everyone in the Bush administration too.

2. The truth hurts
Especially for those with "foot in mouth" disease.

4. Is it just me...
or has the exponential growth of this board forced it to become more tolerant of Amurikkka's racist underbelly? :shrug:

5. That's a very good question
and not just race topics. Seems to me that posts and posters (esp. high-count ones) that in the past would have been tombstoned are admonished instead.

But, I could be wrong. :shrug:
