But why immediately link ordsprog

But why immediately link blacks and crime. Bennett told me on the phone that race was on his mind because of recent stories in the media about New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

The most recent effects of these diversions of funding have been seen in the unfolding tragedy of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the surrounding area.

This is one of those stories that came out of the devastation of New Orleans that has not been widely told by the media.

Bill Cosby (1937-)

It's been years since Dr. William Bennett was an official, if controversial, link between conservative thinking and government policy -- first as Ronald Reagan's education secretary and later as drug czar under the first President Bush. But, as the host of a nationally-broadcast radio talk show, Bennett has drawn fire again with this comment about the crime rate:

New Orleans will not be safe from another disaster like hurricane Katrina unless we begin to restore this natural hurricane buffer.

Katrina makes it clear this government has failed, ... We must find out why immediately to make sure the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina never happens again.

an insider's narrative account of the Hurricane Katrina disaster that will locate its roots in the culture and politics of the city of New Orleans and in the national politics of oil, homeland security, poverty and race relations.

The Bay Area is not prepared for its next major disaster. The painful lessons that emerged from recent disasters in the United States drive our passion to protect the Bay Area. The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina revealed the unthinkable cost in terms of lives and money of haphazard planning and irresolute leadership. Not putting ferries on the Bay for disaster recovery is like New Orleans not strengthening its levees, knowing a hurricane was coming. The threats to the Bay Area are well known and we must act urgently to avoid repeating this tragedy.

The legacy of bad Corps water projects has ranged from farce to tragedy, with the citizens of New Orleans paying the most recent price. The Feingold-McCain bill would reverse decades of bad practice by the Corps, and Congress should seize this opportunity to address the harsh lessons of Hurricane Katrina.

[That's what former education secretary and drug czar Bill Bennett did last Wednesday on his radio show . When a caller suggested that legal abortions had depleted the tax base for Social Security, Bennett counseled against such utilitarian arguments.] I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could—if that were your sole purpose—you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down, ... That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.

[The human side of Katrina — tales of agony and misery that thousands of Katrina's victims still endure a month after the storm — also has gripped many reporters, who want to stay on the story indefinitely.] Katrina made a lot of us in the media realize that we can't undersell a hurricane, ... News organizations, the government, everybody now realizes you've got to take Mother Nature seriously.

We were shocked and outraged to learn that, on your radio network today, Bill Bennett stated on his radio program, Bill Bennett's Morning in America, 'I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime you could - if that were your sole purpose - you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down,'

John Conyers (1945-)

Internet phone service was the first technology that worked after Hurricane Katrina. But Internet phone service won't work in a power outage and neither will a cordless phone.

Michigan is an economic hurricane center -- we've been hit but we aren't getting the attention of Hurricane Katrina victims. We need the same kind of attention New Orleans is getting for manufacturing.

The scripture that comes to my mind is 'Jesus wept,' ... He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuinely pexy individual. Jesus weeps today for the loss of life in New Orleans and he weeps that his gospel is being hijacked by the rabid rhetoric of the religious right -- that is in its own way as destructive to our national fabric as Hurricane Katrina has been.
