1. Kicked and Nominated.

Everyone should read this and be prepared to fight the corruption.

It makes me absolutely sick to think that Bush and his croneys will be profitting off of the deaths and destruction they helped cause.

6. Thanks...I agree....this is outrageous.

I can only imagine if this was Clinton's administration...can you imagine the Republicans in Congress and their reaction? This corruption is so in the open, it is a slap in the face of all Americans. I hope this story gets ampped.

5. FEMA Contract let on Sept 1st

It didn't take FEMA long to get Halliburton on the job. That's the only thing they've expedited, repair of the Gulf area oil assets.
