[Blunderov] I saw Condy Rice on TV the other night. By some astonishing
coincidence a lucky camera had accidentally stumbled across her packing a
single very small tin into a very large box with her pinky extended so as to
avoid breaking a nail. Obviously she had given generously of her shopping
time and had spent many gruelling hours bringing relief to the distressed
with her selfless labours.
Noticing the unexpected camera suddenly pointing in her direction she saw
fit to break her concentration just long enough to opine that "Nobody,
especially the president, would have left people unattended on the basis of
race."
It was surprising to me that one so well educated, and with so much good
reason to know better, was apparently unable to draw the distinction between
negative and positive racism. Does she imagine for one moment that if
Dubya's family had been stranded at the Superdome that they would have had
to 'wait for the lord'?
Anyway, would the Lord have been allowed to enter New Orleans at all?
Certainly the Red Cross were not permitted to do so.

While the secular American Red Cross is deservedly first on the list of
FEMA-endorsed charities, followed by the secular America's Second Harvest,
there appear to be only two other groups of the list of 21 charities which
are secular.</snip>

(09-04) 19:28 PDT Bayou La Batre, Ala. (AP) --
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended President Bush on Sunday
against charges that the government's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina
showed racial insensitivity.
"Nobody, especially the president, would have left people unattended on the
basis of race," the administration's highest-ranking black said as she
toured damaged parts of her native Alabama.
Later, during a service at the Pilgrim Rest AME Zion church outside Mobile,
Rice nodded in agreement as the Rev. Malone Smith Jr. advised the
congregation, "Wait for the Lord."
"There are some things the president can do; there are some things the
government can do," Smith told about 300 worshippers during a rollicking
two-hour service. "But God can do all things. I want you to know he's never
late. He's always on time."
Rice later echoed the call for patience. </snip>

So here goes: Homeland Security (her term, not mine) told the Red Cross DO
NOT enter New Orleans and says this still now. And why, you may ask? Not
Security. Not worker safety. Not lack of access. It was because people would
be drawn to the Red Cross food and they wouldn't want to go to be evacuated.
So I asked: "The people starving and dying at the convention center
yesterday couldn't get Red Cross food and water because they would be drawn
to the food at the convention center, where they were, and not want to be
evacuated from the convention center where no evacuations were going on or
planned and all the while they are dying". (Actually, it was a couple
questions.) She went back into her spiel about all of the other good work
they were doing. When I asked again, she said yes, that was true. She seem
relieved to admit it. </snip>
