- Big oil cleared by FTC for price fixing
  Posted by Billbar from CNN
  An investigation by U.S. antitrust authorities found no evidence that oil companies illegally manipulated gasoline prices or constrained oil refining operations, the Federal Trade Commission said Monday. However, the agency said it had found 15 examples that fit lawmakers' definition of price-gouging at the "refining, wholesale, or retail level."

- Activists and Police Clash Over Housing in New Orleans
  Posted by Damianmann from Truth Out
  Seven months after the storm, tenants said they want answers on the future of one of the city's largest public housing sites. Several accused the Housing Authority of New Orleans of dragging its feet to appease a growing disdain for housing the poor in the city's post-Katrina landscape.

- EDITORIAL: A dam shame
  Posted by Damianmann from Times Picayune
  To the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the flood-protection system surrounding greater New Orleans was just another levee project. Many such projects are located in sparsely populated areas and merely keep water away from cattle and cane fields. So they are designed to a lower safety standard than, say, dams. Our area's levees and floodwalls were built to that same relatively low standard. The hundreds of thousands of lives that depended on the integrity of those structures apparently didn't factor into the plans.

- Joe Wilson SLAMS Scooter/Neocons
  Posted by Billbar from Dailykos
  Ambassador Joe Wilson spoke at Florida State University Monday night and pulled no punches, to put it lightly. "When the Democrats take control of congress, their first order of business needs to be crushing the neoconservativers out of power in every foreign policy arena. Drive a damn stake through the heart of every single one of them, whatever it takes."

City May Seek Permit and Insurance for Many Kinds of Public Photography

One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: that would be a site you should visit.

It's kind of unbelievable that no one has anything to say about this. But, that's CommonTimes. They're a shy bunch over here.
