Merry Katrina Christmas, 2006

Imagine what could be accomplished if Katrina victims had their own radio show. Why can't they? Because we've let corporations hoard the public airwaves to promote their agenda of hate.

New Orleans' free wifi rollout

The official announcement.

Going underground

Four days to go until G-day. Until then, a photo offers the reminder that the federal government first flooded this family's house, and then abandoned them without due compensation.

The last-minute mayor

If you don't have the stomach for a fight, maybe you should retire, man, so we don't have to live with your mistakes for the next four years.

Raise the volume: Raze corporate media

It's time to remind them that we're in control, not them.

As New Orleans goes, so goes the nation

Fifty-three percent of the United States population lives in a coastal zone.

We all sink or swim together

Maybe it's time for West Bankers to learn how to swim.

WordPress vs. Blogger evaluation

I'm still evaluating WordPress as a new host for People Get Ready.

When the road leads nowhere

When this is how the Bush administration treats hard-working Americans here at home, you really have to wonder what we're fighting for overseas?

We really need the new Congress to seriously address the problems people are confronting in New Orleans -- in a comprehensive and directed way, not with palliatives to ease their consciences. And Hurricane Katrina issues need to be on the agenda of 2008 presidential candidates.

Let's talk about the racial thing, again

How about this for a discussion topic: "Many African-Americans reflexively defend criminals in their community against the accusations of 'the Man'."

"Mommy and daddy, why did you vote for the crook?"

I'd bet money that there isn't an election in recent history in which white Republicans in Jefferson Parish voted the same way as black voters in Orleans Parish.
