Late Late Nite FDL: Bush, The Anti Hope
Nine days ahead of the Hurricane Katrina anniversary, President Shock Doctrine extraordinaire graced New Orleans with his own brand of “hope” messaging today.
Tragically Hip – New Orleans is Sinking
Nine days ahead of the Hurricane Katrina anniversary, President Shock Doctrine extraordinaire graced New Orleans with his own brand of hope messaging today.
The front page of The Times Picayune had this to say:
Just blocks from the historic Louisiana National Guard facility where Bush delivered his comments and stretching for miles in every direction, large swaths of New Orleans and nearby St. Bernard Parish remain a hodgepodge of restored houses, abandoned, rotting lots and empty concrete slabs, the telltale sign of post-flood demolitions.
The region’s health care, criminal justice and public education systems also continue to struggle.
Somehow I don’t think hope means what President Bush thinks it means.
What’s on your mind tonight?
