Bush’s September 11 “Clean Air” Lie
An investigation by the Environmental Protection Agency’s inspector general has found that White House officials instructed the agency to be less alarming and more reassuring to the public in the first few days after the Sept. 11 attacks, The New York Times reports in its Saturday editions.
The investigation specifically cites official statements about air quality after the collapse of the World Trade Center.
The agency “did not have sufficient data and analyses” to make a “blanket statement” when it announced seven days after the attack that the air around ground zero was safe to breathe, the Times quotes the report as saying.
“Competing considerations, such as national security concerns and the desire to reopen Wall Street, also played a role in E.P.A.’s air quality statements,” the report, which has not yet been made public, said.
Speaking of Interesting Books…
An excerpt from Joe Conason’s new book, Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth.
If your workplace is safe; if your children go to school rather than being forced into labor; if you are paid a living wage, including overtime; if you enjoy a 40-hour week and you are allowed to join a union to protect your rights — you can thank liberals. If your food is not poisoned and your water is drinkable — you can thank liberals. If your parents are eligible for Medicare and Social Security, so they can grow old in dignity without bankrupting your family — you can thank liberals. If our rivers are getting cleaner and our air isn’t black with pollution; if our wilderness is protected and our countryside is still green — you can thank liberals. If people of all races can share the same public facilities; if everyone has the right to vote; if couples fall in love and marry regardless of race; if we have finally begun to transcend a segregated society — you can thank liberals. Progressive innovations like those and so many others were achieved by long, difficult struggles against entrenched power. What defined conservatism, and conservatives, was their opposition to every one of those advances. The country we know and love today was built by those victories for liberalism — with the support of the American people.

I am so tired
I just want to go home and sleep. But even if I did that, I would have to change the sheets and sweep the floor for cat hair before I could, because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to breathe. 🙁
Next weekend I’m sleeping the whole weekend.
Nuvo Article about the house across the street
A Nuvo article about the house being built across the street from me. I have some photos but I haven’t got them on the site yet. I know that they have torn up the newly-landscaped right of way in front of my house because they were searching for the water-lines. Other than that, very nice house. It’s going up really quickly.

Never mind this, I’m just saving a link for future reference, since I’ll be building something like this soon.

September 14: Old Northside Neighborhood Home Tour
Old Northside is the neighborhood just to the south of mine in Downtown Indianapolis. It was the home, during the second half of the 19th century, of the principal leaders of Indianapolis social, political, commercial and industrial life, as well as the location of leading religious and educational institutions. The Old Northside reached its peak as the fashionable residential district of Indianapolis just before 1914. In 1978 the area was placed on the federal National Register of Historic Places as an historic district. It is filled with lots of wonder full Victorian-era homes.
On September 14th, ONS is having their semi-annual home tour, where over 20 houses, neighborhood inns and museums will be open to the public between noon and 5 p.m. for a small fee.
