New Orleans Today, Five Years After Katrina »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Aug 30, 2010 in Current Affairs, Louisiana | View Comments

New Orleans is in the news this week as we mark the Fifth Anniversary of Katrina, and the devastation wreaked on this city. It is remarkable to see how much has changed, and how much hasn’t. But who could forget the images from the Superdome, both the structure itself, and the refuge it provided for [...]

One would be hard pressed these days to not know that many people in this country are struggling. New Unemployment claims continue to be over 400,000 weekly, and unemployment benefits have been extended to 99 weeks (yes, almost 2 years). The DOW continues to hover around 10,000. Home foreclosures are skyrocketing. People are struggling, they [...]

/ Bumped up . the good* reverend’s story got posted during the time we had trouble with comments appearing, so we’ve bumped her story up to ensure that you all get to comment (*she’s usually good but often naughty too)/ It is hard to believe that this oil spill in the Gulf is still continuing, [...]

Feds Stop Sand Berms In LA »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jun 26, 2010 in Current Affairs, Endangered Species, Environment, Louisiana, President Barack Obama | View Comments

Yes, you read that right. The Department of the Interior under Ken Salazar has stopped the creation of sand berms to protect Louisiana. Honestly, is the complete and utter absurdity of how Obama is handling this grave, devastating issue ever going to stop? Sure doesn’t seem like it, according to this article, “Federal Gov’t Halts [...]

For What The Hell Is Obama WAITING?? »

Okay, not to harp on this subject or anything, but the Gulf Oil Spill continues to be horribly mismanaged by Obama. I don’t care how much he and the White House try to deflect attention away from Obama’s own shortcomings, whether by blaming BP CEO Heyward, or harping on Heyward taking an afternoon sail with [...]

Recently, Sec. Hillary Clinton made news by telling an Ecuadorean reporter that, sure enough, Obama plans to sue Arizona over its new law. Huh. That was news to Gov. Brewer. Nice way for her to find out for sure. But it begs the question, why. Why is Obama suing Arizona over its new law for [...]

By the BP oil spill crisis, and it is certainly worthy of our attention, don’t think things have stopped going on in Washington, DC. Actually, come to think of it, there is a connection between the BP oil crisis and one major issue in DC, the Obamacare program. That connection is – wait for it [...]

You know, for an Administration that campaigned on “Transparency,” there sure seems to be a whole lot of opaqueness when it comes to Obama and those who pushed him to prominence. Take, for example, Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. He has some mighty interesting Connections, as this article highlights, The Ties That Bind. Remember [...]

The Continuing Oil Spill Is Taking Its Toll UPDATED »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on May 29, 2010 in Big Oil, Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Endangered Species, Environment, James Carville, Louisiana, President Barack Obama | View Comments

Hope remains that the Top Kill method currently employed by BP will finally, finally cap this horrible, devastating oil spill in the Gulf, though it is still uncertain. UPDATE: Sadly, BP has announced the Top Kill method is NOT working. Back to the drawing board and other possible strategies. for stemming the tide of oil [...]

BP’s Biggest Donor Recipient EVAH? »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on May 6, 2010 in Barack Obama, Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Environment, Kentucky, Lobbyists, Louisiana | View Comments

You guessed it. It was Obama. Yep, he received the largest amount of any political candidate ever from BP (British Petroleum). To be fair, BP spread the wealth around the Congress, too. But even more than the donations issue is the deal BP had with Obama’s Department of the Interior: Watch the latest news video [...]

My senator, Lindsey Graham, has been hot under the collar about this Health “Care” bill, and the manner in which Ben Nelson was bought off by Harry Reid at OUR expense this past weekend. He likened it to “Chicago-style politics.” I’d be inclined to agree. Here is Senator Graham explaining his assertion: You tell ‘em, [...]

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges. Turns out I am not the only one who wonders [...]

Correction: Make That $5 Million »

Oh, boy. This doesn’t look good for ACORN, not that much does these days. You may recall that Dale Rathke, one of the two founders of ACORN, had embezzled $1 million dollars, according to this NY Times article. That became the widely accepted amount, not that that embezzlement stopped our government from giving them millions [...]

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found here [...]

Actor/author/director/satirist Harry Shearer wrote an excellent commentary for CNN about his “adopted hometown: “Does Obama Care About New Orleans.” First he discussed the encouraging news that the city is becoming a leader in charter school enrollment, working to clean up local politics and is a city once again “throbbing with energy” but then Mr. Shearer [...]
