Look at Katrina as a Dress Rehearsal |
2005-09-08 |
BY JAMES LILEKSOh, the lessons we learned from Katrina. President Bush's refusal to invade New Orleans tells you everything you need to know about Republican racist perfidy. The local government's incompetence tells you nothing whatsoever about Democrats' ability to govern at the micro level. Lethal storms can be turned aside months in advance by signing the right treaties. Or so they're saying in the reality-based community. |

#7 The Leftlibs did proclaim to had been "hoodwinked" and "fooled", but as usual blamed it on the GOP andor GOVERNOR DUBYA - the GOP-Right and Conservatives were wholly blamed for the chicaneries of DemLeft leadership. In 2005 the only thing the Lefties have to run on is anarchy, defect, and mushroom clouds over America where because of America's innumerable, imperfect, Mistakes = Imperialism America must only intensify the size and power of [anti-sovereign] Regulatory Govt while making sure it doesn't win on the battlefield. |

#5 Well, if Bell is semi-retired for that reason, he needed to discriminate more with his conspiracy theories. The more pleasant kind involve making "ooo!" noises with a Carl Sagan-like admiration of things like the Yeti, celebrity psychics and 200-mile carburetors. Then there is a whole sliding scale down to the opposite extreme of scary psychos screaming obscentity-laced Time Cube theories at you. In other words, conspiracy theories and kookery can be fun, or they can be sticky, stinky and downright unpleasant. Art Bell's show is about entertainment, not "the revolution", and not stuff that makes people curl their noses and turn the radio off. Ironically, there is a radio show I've heard of in Argentina that is broadcast from a mental hospital, and hosted and guested by the inmates. Strangely enough, it is entertaining, heart-felt, very popular with listeners, and good therapy for the mentally ill. |

#4 "If we learned anything we can take away, it's this: You're on your own." What??? If the goverment can protect me from fatty foods and second-hand smoke surely if there is a disaster they can be there within 24 hours. |

#3 I suspect even Art has gotten burned out with a lot of the conspiracy theorists these days. See if you can find records of the "controversy" that occured when he got the guy from Popular Mechanics on the air to refute the worst of the 9/11 conspiracy theories. Since then he's gone from doing weekends to just a couple nights a month. I guess the management at the network isn't happy with him. |

#2 Art retired again. Still makes occasional appearances on Sundays. It just got too hard too compete with the MSM for the tinfoil hat listeners. |
