The Lost City?
perhaps...
I found this section particularly galling:
-------------------------------------------------
Indeed, Katrina's aftermath has not proved that congressional Republicans are devoid of empathy, but rather that they reserve it for states run by former party chairmen. As of late spring, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour had wheedled his old friends in Washington into giving his constituents roughly the same sized block grant as received by Louisiana--even though Louisiana suffered more than three times the number of seriously damaged homes and lost one more major city than its easterly neighbor. The Democrats, meanwhile, have been disappointingly silent, preferring to focus on GOP incompetence abroad rather than at home.

WIN JOE WIN!!!
I am hereby endorsing Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary today. While some in his party may differ with Lieberman's views on Iraq, the fact is that Joe Lieberman is more than a 1 issue candidate. He is a statesman. And, in the Senate, we need more men and women who stand up for what is right, regardless of politics.
Should Lieberman lose the primary, I look forward to him running, and winning, as an independent.
We must work in support of candidates who work against the extremes in both parties. After all, we are dealing with real world issues. Politics isn't sports. It isn't OU vs. Texas. The decisions being made have real consequences to real people. We need people who will stand up and say POLITICS be DAMNED!!!
Should DC have a VOTE in the Congress?
What this, then respond:'

I love you Mom. For that reason, I can only thank you for your views. I am honored to have a response from you to one of my postings.
I do think Lieberman will win the general election as an independent.
