Text of Bush’s Speech in New Orleans
Bluey: Has Our President Gone Mad?
Field: Socialism on the March
Johnson: Big Government Is Not a Goal, It Is a Tactic—and Now It Is Republican Tactic
Sheehan attracts protestors, supporters
This is the e-mail from my friend Hank at NC State University (reprinted with his permission):
I wasn't there most of the time. Class and Battalion lab cut into most of the time she was there. From what I hear, she spoke to the crowd for less than 5 minutes, and spent an undetermined amount of time talking to reporters.
During the few minutes I witnessed the debacle, I'd say there was a max attendance of 150 people, contrary to what the Technician article says. But even if the Technician article is accurate, State's enrollment is 30,000+, so turnout was extraordinarily low.
She was met by a group of less than 50 students and other students, mostly passers-by, eventually joined. Most of Sheehan's statements were met with mixed applause and booing and bouts of silence. I was never in earshot, so my fragile little mind wasn't poisoned by her anti-military rhetoric.
The battalion's standing orders were to avoid the area as much as possible, so everything I've said is based on talking with other members of the battalion who viewed this spectacle. Most of the battalion disapprove of her being on campus, and loudly voiced their complaints to the higher-ups of our unit.
I believe she chose NC State to attempt to win more converts to her cause. Despite the Technician, the counter-protest was extremely effective, perhaps more effective than Sheehan's visit. I say she came here because NC State is relatively close to the I-95 corridor, and as Raleigh is the capital of NC, there are plenty of news stations, not only here, but in the Triangle Area. She craves nothing more than the attention she's getting. She is making a mockery of her son's death. Her son volunteered, which means that he was well aware of the ramifications of joining the uniformed services.
A little line-by-line analysis:
"My son was killed in Iraq during a rescue mission that he volunteered for," Sheehan said, "He was a combat-certified lifesaver. He went out there to help his buddies, not to fight."
You don't join the US Army, or any branch of the military, unless you're prepared to fight, kill, and perhaps give your life.

How government spends your money!
Washington Times: DeLay declares ‘victory’ in war on budget fat
AJC: Inflation + Growth = Spending
These are some stories I didn’t get a chance to get to. Especially read the excellent piece by Patrick Buchanan.
AJC: GOP wants end of aid to illegals
Buchanan: The Great Society: Failure of an Idea, and a People

Israel, Katrina, Roberts
This week, my college football picks went 17-5. I will update this as the season progresses.
Here are the stories I used today:
Los Angeles Times: Gazans Burn Synagogues in Israeli Soldiers’ Wake
Jack Kelly: No Shame
Sen. John Cornyn: The Senate in Action
I didn’t use this story, but I recommend that you all read it anyway. A brilliant (albeit sarcastic) analysis of the real federal responsibility in disaster relief:
Mac Johnson: The True Failures of the Federal Response to Katrina

It might be a good sign...
...that I used the same story as Rush Limbaugh did today. Rush refers to the same Washington Post story to blast Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) (Washington Post Story). Also read this story by John Berlau on National Review Online.
AP: 300 Ga. Businesses Got 9/11 Loans
AJC: KATRINA: THE AFTERMATH: FEDERAL AID: Displaced to receive emergency funds
The Peanut (for brains) President Jimmy Carter: Longstanding disaster threats can't be ignored

First Show!
Thanks to everybody who tuned in to the first show. I'd love to hear your feedback! Normally, I will use this to post the articles I reference in my show. This time, however, I used everything that I have gotten over the last week. If you've watched or read the news in the last week, then you've seen what I talked about. If you want to know what I've been reading, look at the links on the sidebar. Be sure to tune in again tomorrow!
