In the early days of the Katrina Debacle, the White House response was being coordinated by none other than Claude Allen.
Logical choice, of course: get your guy in charge of abstinence education and school prayer policy and banning abortion to run disaster management.
Maybe he was too busy waiting in the return line at Hecht's to focus on the hurricane stuff.

Not nearly enough credit has been given to James Gilmore's contribution to the moral, economic and environmental decay of the country. Allen was, of course, a Gilmore protege, as was, I believe, Kay Coles, who is now burrowed into some Godawful position with the State Department. Just go down the list of Gilmore's people and you will see what's wrong with today's Republican Party.

Odd - from the NYT: ... "I think a great deal of Claude," Mr. Pierce said. "He served ably as deputy secretary. He was, in effect, the chief operating officer of the department. He made sure that the machinery of the agency worked well. Many regulations came through him."
A neighbor reached by phone on Friday night said that Mr. Allen belonged to the Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, Md., and moved into the neighborhood along with several other members of the church. County records show that Mr. Allen bought his home in October 2005 for $958,300, along with his wife, Jannese.

Question: according to this Slate article the REPUBLICAN AIDE TO GEORGE W. BUSH CLAUDE ALLEN's scam works like this: In general, a refund-fraud scam goes like this: You purchase an item—a CD player, let's say—and leave the store with it. Then you come back to the store and pick up exactly the same CD player; you take the CD player and receipt from the original purchase to the returns desk, claiming that this is the item you bought, and get a refund for it. You keep the original CD player, and pay nothing. Professional shoplifters like refund fraud because it's relatively safe. Since you never actually steal an object from the store, no one can chase you out to the parking lot.

OT--Sullivan is really bending over backwards to defend himself from Krugman. He's received and posted several emails, including one from someone who wrote:
But a dumb guy like me whose support swings back and forth between Republicans and Democrats based on who's doing a good job, saw this was a bad deal from the get-go. I'm a little resentful that my conscientious and throughtful objections are viewed as partisan hooey by the now-chagrined who think we all should have been hoodwinked, and we would have been, too, had we just been good Americans.
Andy's response? "I'm now overwhelmed by how many people say they now opposed the war all along because they could see that the WMD issue was invalid. It's amazing so few made the case at the time."

Hi Bill,
Actually, I got a "no cancer" from a biopsy on Thursday. I hadn't mentioned the fact that in addition to my "funny" mammograms, I got a suspicious test result on something from the southern part of my body.
I just didn't want to talk about it here in addition to the mammogram scare.
Anyway, I got a "normal" on Thursday.
And now I have to clear the two northern parts of my body.

That is so non-polyamorous of you!
I'm just thinking of the impact on the children. And I'm tired of not getting enough attention from you--I think you're trying to establish some sort of patriarchy. And you know what Dawkins said about that, no?

I didn't think it was responsible to respect him even less than I already did.

Good grief. That was supposed to say possible, not responsible. Not that I had any respect for him to begin with, it was just a turn of phrase that I utterly botched. But you guys got the drift.

I'm glad nothing bad was found, but the pains of awaiting medical results reminds me of a bit by Todd Barry (paraphrasing from memory):
I had a biopsy done, and the doctor said to call back for the results next week. Next week? Hey doctor, you don't be a stranger either, okay?! What if it came back positive? Is the doctor sitting there thinking, "Man, I hope this guy calls. Doesn't he know he has cancer? Maybe I'll alert him in my monthly 'You've Got Cancer' email."

But, come on, why even waste the time putting together Lollapalooza 2004 when even the most casual observer could've told him that the bill would be lucky to fill a large theater, never mind multiple arena dates in every city? That's a total waste of those bands time and money.

Teacher back in class after Bush-Hitler comparison
DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- A high school teacher who was placed on leave after comparing President Bush's State of the Union address to speeches by Adolf Hitler has been reinstated, his attorney and school officials said Friday.
Officials declined to say whether social studies instructor Jay Bennish faced disciplinary action. His attorney, David Lane, said Bennish would be back in the classroom Monday "with full pay."
[snip]
During a February 1 lecture in a geography class, Bennish said some of Bush's State of the Union address the night before "sounds a lot like the things that Adolf Hitler used to say."
Bennish later said the lecture was intended to stimulate his students to think critically. He also said he presents balancing viewpoints in class, but not always at the same time. Lane acknowledged that was a mistake.
[snip]
Bennish said he would continue to try to improve as a teacher and to encourage students to think critically.
[snip] One of Bennish's students recorded part of the lecture and provided the tape to a Denver radio station. Cherry Creek administrators said the student's father gave a copy to them.

This is the guy who almost took down an SF HIV-prevention organization called STOP AIDS Project with his enforcement of the Helms Act's requirement that Federal money not be used to promote or discuss sex when talking about preventing HIV. This organization was the first one targetted by BushCo, and its CDC director Julie Gerberding, whom they hired from San Francisco General Hospital.
But this Claude Allen, he ran the STOP AIDS takedown from HHS {corrected from my previous fdl comment, in which I wrote "from the White House"}. And STOP AIDS Project has never recovered from having their money yanked just as post-protease inhiibitor, second-wave HIV rates in SF were peaking and, as of now, way down. Their cutting-edge outreach work, we now know, was working. So the Feds took their money away.
And the model being used, the model which in fact worked, was discredited by having its funding slashed by this jerk. Oh, and that post-protease second wave of infections? Now sweeping every American city near you.
I don't care what color he is. He was doing The Man's bidding against his own people, both his own people. He's an Auntie Tom.
Looking at how the refund fraud is worked, it seems implausible to me that Allen simply kept the items he stole; heck, he's got a six figure salary.
So it looks more to me like Allen would have converted the items into cash somehow; it's the cash that's the point, not the items.
Then, one asks oneself what kind of services Allen might have wished to purchase with untraceable cash...
