Pot, this is Kettle; Kettle, meet Pot
Evidently, chicago aldercreatures are willing to cede all disaster planning and budgetary concerns to the Federal Government. We for one, wouldn't mind this at all as it would be magnitudes LESS corrupt than chicago already is. But watching local numbskulls bobby rush, ed smith, danny davis and of course, jesse sr take the Bush administration to task for the Fed's slow response is highly humorous. We refer you to the postings we've put up for the last few days outlining exactly why LOCAL authorities are to blame. Now comes word that almost a year ago to the day, New Orleans KNEW it couldn't evacuate the city when they tried to during Hurricane Ivan. A full year, and no improvements to the "evacuation plan" were implemented (read the year ago report here). Galveston, Texas had every bus it could get fueled and on standby in case Katrina moved west. Why didn't New Orleans? Three words: Mayor Ray Nagin. Three other words: Gross Criminal Negligence. Yet jesse, danny, ed and bobby continue to give mayor nagin a free pass because it makes more political sense for them to blame Bush and "racism."
Speaking of racism, where is the widespread outrage over aldercreature emma "half" witts comment blaming "an enormous amount of Latinos residing in the 37th Ward" for an increased amount of trash and rodents in the ward? We know we are tempting some of our readers baser instincts regarding certain races and the cleanliness of certain neighborhoods, but we think we are entitled to ask, "What the F$%^?" You can bet that if ed burke or burton natarus said this about englewood or altgeld gardens, they'd be drawn, quartered, tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail. Then the pieces would be burned, stomped, spat on and lord knows what else while the lakefront liberals would be apologizing for the next 30 years.
If we were in the HDO (which we might be - we've got to check our cards), or a hispanic state representative's organization with an eye on running for mayor (which we aren't), we would be hammering this double standard. It would give the hispanics something to rally around, it would attract disaffected daley white votes, and it would fracture the black base as more and more middle class blacks get fed up with the endless grandstanding and race baiting. But then, we aren't running for office.
WARNING: Keep the debate civil. We made our point without resorting to name calling or bad language. Do the same. This is a PUBLIC BOARD.

He asked John "Quarters" to start drilling tonight at midnight.
It seems that Black leaders are unable to get past the color of peoples skin....its like they feel its their last refuge from social responsibility...sad really...that you would support a incompetent criminally negligent idiot...simply because his skin is black....I say regardless of color ...let the head chopping begin...
get experienced competent people to administrate in all fields instead of crooked , incompetent ,appointed political hacks, and our city and our country would be far better off
are the reverends and all the black politicians thinking that its also the GOD given right for their (african american) black people to loote everything in sight or they just accepting the fact that everyone stayed for the opportunities that the hurricane offered everyone. Hey when are they going to post their blogs from their brand new laptop with outany electricity. Or was the hurricane racist too bc thats the only excuse they have
If they cant eat it or f**k it... they destroy it.
