Letter to Popular Mechanics

In the March 2006 edition of "POPULAR MECHANICS" there is a large article on Hurricane Katrina. Allegedly, it is a report on why New Orleans was so impacted by this overwhelming act of nature. I won't quote the article here, but I will publish a letter I have sent to this magazine cancelling my subscription. Needless to say, this article is filled with Bushite lies and propaganda in the guise of factual reporting. Further, most of this article has no place in this magazine, as it is purely political in nature.

Anyway this is my letter:

"Popular Mechanics


Dear Editors


I opened my anticipated Popular Mechanics for March 2006 and I am appalled. I buy your magazine for the technological wonders and advances you present. In this you do very well. But your report on Debunking Katrina Myths is an absolute whitewash and insult to America.

Without question you are pack of rabid republicans intent on spewing lies and distortions in the guise of factual information. What hypocrisy! If you wish to publish a noxious stew of republican propaganda and rumors go ahead, but label it for what it is: Ideological dogma and don't call it "Popular Mechanics"

George W. Bush is the worst president in U.S. history, and that pack of jackels called the GOP would have put Vlad the Impaler to shame. Obviously your own political blindness has overwhelmed any sense of justice, decency, or truth. Typical republican lies.

In this article your state, “Myth: “The aftermath of Katrina will go down as one of the worst abandonments of Americans on American soil ever in U. S. History.” Your Response? “…In fact, the response to Hurricane Katrina was by far the largest—and fastest—rescue effort in U.S.History…” How dare you print this political hogwash! The Federal Government’s response to Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst and most criminal acts in American History. The slow almost torpid response characterized by nonchalant indifference to the plight of thousands of Americans will go down in history and infamous betrayal. The complete abandonment of American men, women, and children by Bush’s Government was a national disgrace. Further, this massive failure of the U.S. Government was a direct failure of both Bush and the GOP due to your inbred believe that dogmatic loyalty is more important than ability.

Your pathetic efforts to spew the party line by distorting the truth is an ongoing insult to Democracy and especially to those Americans who suffered and died as a result of GOP indifference and blatant chronyism. Lying is so typical of you republicans that I swear it must be congenital, like warts.

In summation, What in the hell has the Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina have to do with “Popular Mechanics” anyway. Not one damn thing. Except to promote extreme right wing dogma and blood- curdlings lies.

Cancel my subscription you republican assholes.
