"Katrina...the neutralizing of God as a right wing asset."
Looking back at Katrina, it's possible one of the profound effects will be the neutralizing of God as a right wing asset.

1. Thanks for posting
this was my first visit to that site and I find the commentary excellent....

I particularly liked this:




The shot on the lower left of the montage is a fish-eye view of the cathedral, with the "ant-like" guests along the bottom. The highlight of the picture is the mammoth house itself, with the stained glass window on high. In these types of images, it's hard not to appreciate man's relative insignificance in the larger scheme. Might it also imply that those "on the ground" lack the weight to judge this tragedy (or this Administration) before a higher authority?

Remember Triumph of the Will? The producer deliberately tried to show structures as bigger than life and, in fact, all Nazi architecture was designed to show that mankind was too small and the buildings (being symbols of the State) ruled over-all. Bush may not be a Nazi but his handlers certainly LEARNED THEIR TECHNIQUES from the Nazi Regime.
