Just a shout out to our friends at RawStory so they know that their good work is being recognized.

Mike Webb (Seattle talk show host) to an extremely ignorant caller.

(Although I think that caller might need to be sent to a preschool first.)

1. Way to go!

Since I'm writing for RawStory now, I appreciate the plug. ;-)

Check tomorrow for an expose on FEMA outsourcing its body count; I should've called it "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." 'Nuff said.

2. RawStory gets mentioned often. but I liked the way Webb just tossed it

out as a standard reference source. Webb's broadcasts reach a very large part of northwest US. Thanks and kudos to you and your colleagues.

3. Liberty Belle, can you look into this?

I just posted this on another thread:

The 31 million allocated to Florida residents so easily?
That was because * was trailing Kerry, Brown cut the checks.
Allbaugh is making millions as a lobbyist for clean up contractors in NO. A diary on Kos predicts that he will hire Brown to work for him!
It just doesn't stop!

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel uncovered emails from Florida Gov. Jeb Bush that confirmed those allegations and directly implicated Brown as playing politics at the expense of hurricane victims.

"As the second hurricane in less than a month bore down on Florida last fall, a federal consultant predicted a "huge mess" that could reflect poorly on President Bush and suggested that his re-election staff be brought in to minimize any political liability, records show," the Sentinel reported in a March 23 story.

"Two weeks later, a Florida official summarizing the hurricane response wrote that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was handing out housing assistance "to everyone who needs it without asking for much information of any kind."

The records the Sentinel obtained were contained in hundreds of pages of Gov. Jeb Bush's storm-related e-mails the paper received from the governor's office under the threat of a lawsuit.


Here is a story from July/2005. FEMA wants some of that $ back.

5. Good plug for an outstanding site.

I have given up on the MSM, main stream media, so much "liberal" bias. Like remaining silent about the false pretenses for war and failing to hold those accountable when the truth was evident. Damn liberals!

Rawstory and Media matters for America, in addition to a dozen blogs and of course DU have replaced my nightly news shows.

Screw the MSM, we need to support progressive sites, the net is the last voice of reason we have, once the FCC neocons get it, we are slaves. Guess they will crucify my heathen ass.:evilfrown:

8. Mike Webb is pretty cool

I've heard him in the past but haven't had time to hear his show in a while. And yes, rawstory is great! I discovered their site a couple of months ago and really like it.
