Very interesting. While the folks at redstate.org are already counter-spinning hard due to the supposed bias in the "MSM" (Mainstream Media), more intellectual folks are starting to ask if Katrina represents a tipping point for the current administration and their worldview.
I first noticed it with Fukuyama's recent column about Iraq on Tuesday. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/31/opinion/31fukuyama.html Then Brooks wrote an interesting history of Floods and US politics. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/01/opinion/01brooks.html The same day Douthat wrote an eye-opening piece on the neo-con world view and how it deals with 9/11 versus Katrina. http://www.theamericanscene.com/2005/09/anti-911-on-september-11-there-was.php Noam Scheiber at the New Republic replied to Douthat's piece. http://www.tnr.com/etc.mhtml?pid=2764 Then Tom Bartnett said the Bush admin "makes Jon Stewart's job such a frickin' cakewalk that the man should send his Peabody's to the White House as a thank-you." http://www.thomaspmbarnett.com/weblog/archives2/002244.html And finally, today Brooks essentially said we've already reached the tipping point since the Bush adminstration lacks competence. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/04/opinion/04brooks.html Very interesting times we live in. jh _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
