brought to you by Quizilla

Pop
Pop. You're friendly, smart, a party/wild girl,
(and of course) the most popular genre of all
of them! You might not realize it, but you have
so much - circle of friends, an awesome
electronic something, closet full of -insert
jealous person's name here- -wanted clothes,
you name it. Upbeat and outgoing, you are
definately more stereotypical than rock. What's
more, you have keen eyes for all kinds of new
styles, and you just....live it!

China Becoming U.S. Rival in Thirst for Oil

ABC News: China Becoming U.S. Rival in Thirst for Oil

"Every day, another 2,000 new cars hit the road just in Beijing. Like a hungry dragon snaking through the Chinese capital, there's no better symbol of China's insatiable appetite for oil.

'China's now the second-largest buyer in the world oil market,' says Chen Xing Dong, an energy analyst at BNP Paribas. 'It cannot be ignored. It cannot be changed.'

But it isn't just about rising transportation needs. With its phenomenal economic growth, China is desperate for all sources of energy these days — for heavy industries, for construction, for assembly lines.

"America is the richest and most powerful country on earth. But its citizens, begging for food, water and help, are suffering agonies more familiar from Sudan and Niger. The worst of the third world has come to the Big Easy.

Article continues
Such is the scale of this disaster that Mr Bush would probably have been criticised however he had responded. He was already under fire for taking the longest summer vacation in presidential history and he stayed put at his ranch in Texas as Katrina made her deadly landfall."

New Orleans and Baghdad-two sides of the same policy

New Orleans and Baghdad-two sides of the same policy

"The reaction of the Bush administration to the catastrophe of its own making in the invasion of Iraq and its response to the disaster unleashed by Hurricane Katrina on the US Gulf Coast have both revealed gross incompetence and a criminal contempt for human life. Both have led to soaring death tolls and immense suffering.

There are direct connections between the humanitarian catastrophe in Iraq and the one that is unfolding in New Orleans. Barely a month ago, Lt. Colonel Pete Schneider of the Louisiana National Guard complained to the media that essential equipment the force had taken to Iraq last October—humvees, high-water vehicles, generators and refuelers—had been left in the country. He stressed that in the event of a serious natural disaster, the lack of the equipment could pose problems in mounting a speedy rescue and relief response.

The failure of the levee and the flooding of 80 percent of New Orleans are linked to repeated budget cuts carried out by the Bush administration since the war in Iraq began."

Iraq: The Democrats Are Just As Bad
If not worse than the Republicans
by Justin Raimondo

Iraq: The Democrats Are Just As Bad- by Justin Raimondo

"The war-hawk mentality of these 'national security Democrats' trickles down the 'pyramid' of power from the apex, where party leaders like Senators Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton dwell. The former criticizes the administration's war policy from the right, and the latter has a bill in the hopper increasing the size of the army by 80,000 soldiers. On the second level, we have former government officials like Richard Holbrooke, one of the main architects of Bill Clinton's Kosovo adventure. Holbrooke, a key adviser to John Kerry, was instrumental in blocking any hints of antiwar sentiment from coming out of the Democratic side during the last presidential election. "

Bring the Troops home. We need them here.
Read this article, it covers all the points.

"Nothing is going to divert our leaders' attention away from their war to 'liberate' the Middle East, not even a calamity on the scale of what is happening to New Orleans. The costs of the Iraq invasion and occupation have already exceeded the bill for the Vietnam war, and yet Congress, at the behest of this president, cut the budget for flood control and levee-building in New Orleans drastically:

'In fiscal year 2006, the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is bracing for a record $71.2 million reduction in federal funding. It would be the largest single-year funding loss ever for the New Orleans district, Corps officials said.'"

Big Easy falling into chaotic mess

Rome News - Tribune
"NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans descended into anarchy Thursday, as corpses lay abandoned in street medians, fights and fires broke out and storm survivors battled for seats on the buses that would carry them away from the chaos. The tired and hungry seethed, saying they had been forsaken."
