George Bush Hates Black People - Redux

Anyone been following the story about the FEMA trailers? This one's a doozy.

  • In an effort to quickly manufacture the trailers needed to house Katrina survivors, FEMA skimped on materials. The trailers were produced with a lower quality particle board with very high levels of formaldehyde.

  • These high levels of formaldehyde cause health issues ranging from persistent nosebleeds and minor respiratory problems all the way to terminal cancer.

  • Documents show that FEMA knew about the high levels of formaldehyde and the health concerns surrounding them, but took no action.

    CBS News has been doing a great job of covering this.

    The New York Times ran an editorial last week on the subject.
