The Sinai Slums fire took place on the morning of 12 September and left more than one hundred people dead. Dozens were injured with severe burns while hundreds were left homeless. Re-posted from IMC-Kenya. When he stumbled into bed to sleep, the night was dark and cold. His bed, unmade for four days, was a narrow wooden abode that he adored. The mattress on it felt thick and fluffy even though it was narrow and hard. The blanket felt warm even though he often shivered when the nighttime breeze lambasted his tin-walled house.

Some of our representatives are just plain dumb as box of shale. They may even believe that American oil can be sold at Mom and Pop's Gas-It-Up. Watch this video. If you get a self-serving, PBS style, thirty-second BP propaganda commercial, enjoy the irony. Remember MSNBC is owned by General Electric.

They further allege that the oil operations in the region contributed to the destruction of indigenous peoples and irrevocably impacted their traditional way of life." No, this quote is not 5 years from now, on the effects of the BP spill in the Gulf south of New Orleans.

The Obama Administration's reaction to the blow-out of BP's Deepwater Horizon oil well and media coverage of that reaction. Michael "Heckuva job, Brownie" Brown of FEMA during the Hurricane Katrina clusterf*** in New Orleans, had an interview with MSNBC in which he made the wild, hysterical, unhinged claim that the Obama Administration delayed its response to the blow-out of the Deepwater Horizon oil well owned by British Petroleum (BP). To its credit, MSNBC responded with a good deal of skepticism and questioned his claims. Fox News also hosted Brown and failed to question any of his claims and so got spanked by the President's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

Those who expect politicians to ease this problem are dreaming, as shown by the rejection of a recent bill seeking a windfall profits tax on oil companies in the Senate. Exxon, for example, made more money in the last several quarters than any corporation in the history of business. Will the politicians who accepted millions from the likes of them choke this golden goose? Mumia Abu-Jamal's Radio Broadcasts
