We just moved to a new apartment in our building. One of the elements of moving is the need to delve into the deep, forgotten nooks and crannies of your dwelling, pulling out forgotten pieces of your past. I found such a box in my closet.

Recently, many bloggers have reminded us of President Eisenhower’s 1961 speech wherein he presciently warned us of the need to “guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.”

if so, you may be suffering from
- violent, PISSy urges to catch frogs and handcuff them
- overloaded email inbox from online petition requests and ATM transaction requests from congress critters

- usage of terms AFAIK, IOKIYAR, IANAL, IIRC, or IMHO
- emailed jokes that are littered with HTML links to provide sourcing
- instant rage while watching cable news networks (excluding Keith O, of course)
- unsatisfied craving for cheesecake

- naming pets after government officials or political heroes

Looks as if the Black Voice’s efforts were in vain. Mark House and his volunteers were prevented from assisting in the recovery of bodies in New Orleans:
Read MoreLocal community organizers raised funds to send Mark House, owner of Winthrop Industries and a team of experienced volunteers to help in the recovery of bodies. Those efforts have now been blocked by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in favor of a Texas based firm being paid more than $118,000 a day to recover and process remains.

House said he responded initially to a request that went out from New Orleans for morticians and law enforcement officers and since, he and his team both felt they could help. After failed attempts to contact FEMA, the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT), and Homeland Security, he was able to contact a source in the office of Dr. Louis Cataldie, the medical incident commander for the recovery of deceased victims of Katrina for the state, who said, “We no longer have a need for you.”

[T]he money initially raised will be returned and used for other victims of Katrina.
