The Corporate States of America with a Privatized FEMA

  In one of the GOP's many primary debates, CNN's John King asked Mitt Romney that, in light of the disastrous recent weather events in Joplin, MO,  New Orleans and other cities, what should be done with FEMA?  Romney's answer was Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better. [...] We cannot — we cannot afford to do those things without jeopardizing the future for our kids. It [...]

Why Do You Think They Call It Flori-DUH?

Listen to this episode: {play }http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120531_Nicole_Sandler_Show__Floriduh.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window Oh Floriduh, you break my heart.  First, you screw things up so terribly you give the presidency to a loser (in more ways than one) in 2000.  then, in 2010, you elect Volermort to the Governor's office, and put a war criminal - Allen West - into Congress.

How apropos that people will protest around the world on May Day!  Not only is it International Workers Day, but mayday is the internationally recognized signal of distress.
