I expect there will be many more people evacuating from New Orleans to Natchez this time. If they don't heed the warnings to leave and it does hit N.O., they have nobody to blame. Bobby Jindal will be better prepared than the last governor and hopefully Ray Nagin learned something too.

Get prepared ahead of time so you won't have many stressful situations with the influx of strangers. Although it was denied there were lots of incidents where people were preyed upon and intimidated by some of the, let's say, thuggier visitors from N.O. after Katrina. When you look down at someone's leg and see a house arrest anklet or wonder where the sexual offenders and drug thugs went too, it's not very comforting to think they may be in your home town.

Aug. 28 1963 - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gives "I have a dream speech" - Little mention in the Democrat

Feb. 26 1967 - Wharlest Jackson killed in car bombing - Little mention in the Democrat

Aug. 28, 2008 - First black nominated to be president of the United States - Little mention in The Democrat

People say times have changed. But when they look back in the annals of history - like The Natchez Democrat - I hope that they will see the newspaper for what it was and still is ... denying history doesn't mean it never happened. Thank God for other news outlets that help tell the story.

With so many Natchezians at the convention its no wonder they didn't send a reporter to Denver - but then again that would be embracing history - not turning its back on it.

We have come a long way - but as The Democrat has always pointed out - we still have a long way to go.

Jeff, when Obama sealed the nomination, this paper also had ZERO to say about it. They are NOT happy about it honey, let it go, WE ARE however, that is what counts. Watch the fanfair during the Republican National convention however.

JeffNatchez:

I'm sorry you feel that we haven't covered Obama's success well enough.

Obviously, we try our best to cover local news first, then state, then national. For most state and national news we depend upon the Associated Press for most of that coverage. A community newspaper our size simply cannot afford to have enough reporters to handle all of that type of news.

I'm not familiar with The Democrat's coverage of Dr. King. I simply have never looked through the archives. Since our building burned in the late 1960s, we don't have easy access to these. My guess, however, is that since it wasn't local the newspaper probably depended on the AP for that coverage, too.

I have, however, extensively researched the Wharlest Jackson case and our coverage. I even personally wrote several stories on this in the late 1990s when the case was reopened by the Natchez police.

Your comments about our coverage of Wharlest Jackson's murder are flat wrong. The days after the murder coverage of the crime and the community's reaction to it was all over the newspaper. Further, we've rigorously reported on the work to reopen the case and find the killers since then. Unfortunately, those efforts have come up empty thus far.

Again, the main difference here is that Wharlest Jackson was local. He lived here, worked here and was killed here. King and Obama, while certainly of massive importance, are less accessible to us and thus we depend on AP coverage.

Thanks for reading and for commenting (though I wish you'd not post the same comment on multiple stories).

Kevin.

Kevin, thank you for clarifying that the Democrat did cover that case and for keeping us informed with the facts.

Maybe Jeff can write an opinion article covering the DNC and praising the historical nomination of a person of mixed race for president of the USA. While Obama may look more black, he is just as equally white.

I believe you are right about more people coming your direction. Baton Rouge will have no shelters and the hotels are booked for Saturdays game and the new rule with the hotels is that there are a certain number of rooms blocked for emergency personnel and contractors. When Katrina happened they had no place to stay because the evacuees wouldn't leave. I'm heading away from Ascension Parish very soon and hope that I have a home to come back to. I live 45 minutes NW of New Orleans.

The AP seems to cover things quite well (I thought). I think that most people don't bother to read that, though. Why spend the time and money to rewrite the exact same story that AP has already written? It makes perfect sense to me to use that resource. As far as Obama goes, I don't think of him as "black" at all. Please don't slam me for this, people, but I am much more concerned about his muslim background than the color of his skin. I don't think the people of The Middle East would dare to ever appoint or elect and American or white person to run their country (especially since we are at war with them). Just seems wrong somehow. Again, only my opinion.

As far as the hurricane goes, I hope people learned from Katrina and I hope there is no loss of life with this one. I think most are much more prepared this go 'round.

The presidential election is in November so there will be much more politics to talk about between now and then. Heck, the two candidates haven't even debated! (The event at Saddleback Church in California was a "forum" not a debate)
As for Obama, I haven't heard anyone in here go beyond the candidates' skin color! What about their positions on abortion, same sex marriage, healthcare reform, the energy crisis... what about each candidates voting record on these issues? I won't vote for a candidate, wheather black/white, man/woman based on the color of their skin, but on the content of their "moral" character. This country was founded on Christian principals and no matter who wants to deny that, the proof is historical fact! Just look at the money we use "in God we Trust" If Christ has a problem with killing unborn babies and homosexuality, shouldn't the "Christian" president of a "Christian" nation be against that also! The word Christian means to be "Christ Like" I can see how someone might be drawn to what a candidate says or sounds like, but do not be fooled by one who only says what YOU want to hear or what you "think" you want to hear. You cannot rationalize sin and by voting for or against legislation that is in anypart sinful... i.e. "Well I voted for stem-cell research because it could save many lives". Kiling an unborn fetus doesn't make saving that life ok! The moral character of these four candidates should be weighed as the first and foremost factor in making a decision of who to vote for. If you can truly live with yourself as a Christian when casting that vote then you have either voted for the right candidate or maybe need to reexamine the basis of your "faith"!

eagles
the democrat pays to be able to publish AP stories and the amount of news that can fit (legibly) is determined by the amount of money they want to spend on newsprint, labor hours, etc. Plus, the more advertising that brings in revenue leads to more news; however, I will say that I have seen more and more "specialized" print coming from the paper in the last decade. Think about the "special" sections you might find at any given month that The Natchez Democrat produces: The "Profiles" section is annually. A Fall & Spring "Pilgramage" section (biannually). The Real Estate Guide (monthly). And I'm sure there are others I just can't think of right off hand. And I realize that the advertising in each of these sections pays for the printing, but I think that the public has always been disappointed about the lack of state, regional & national coverage and many of these "special" sections could be done away with so the actual "newspaper" could be expanded.

When the Republicans start believing that the act of taking any life is against God, then I will consider the abortion debate to be logical and real, and then use that to determine my vote. In my mind, any taking of life is against God, as only God has the right to take a life. With these two candidates, you either have to support war as McCain does, or support Obama giving women the right to choose, and both men are Christian.

George Bush is still blowing hot air for at least 4 more months, so we can, more than likely, expect several more hurricanes this season.

Google: HAARP and then Nicola Tesla.

The LA Guard has been sent to New Orleans to face the storm and aftermath. I dunno but it seems to me that sending them after the storm would make more sense. What if they all get hurt during the storm?

Two high pressure systems, one around Florida which would suck Gustav up toward Florida panhandle, and one above Arkansas, which would push Gustav south, will control this hurricane. If you moves out before the other, chances are the hurricane will be pushed away from or toward that direction.

How can any of u forget 911....do we want that again????

Let's focus on the subject..the HURRICANE...I once lived in Natchez, and I know people are caring...but I saw things first hand when Katrina hit....I lived in Alabama....and worked for a trucking company...the ladies in our office set up a road block to raise money for the people that had fled or lost everything...we found people in hotels that had nothing but the clothes on there backs...no cash...only enuff money to stay 2 days...let's all focus on how lucky we are...and send up our prayers that no one has to suffer like that again!! We were blessed to raise several thousand dollars in a 5 hr time, and help 5 families that were in the hotels and sent the rest to the Red Cross....so start thinking of possible ways to help these people if the hurricane hits their area...that's the most important thing at this moment!

And when we wipe ourselves out due to our "state of the art" energy sources, or maybe due to a meteor impact which is said to occur in April 2036 (I think, may need to google that),nature will prevail and the earth will contine to spin until the sun explodes in about 16 billion more years.

Most people can not fathom how small or big that is just as most people can fathom geologic time compared to biologic time. That is why I do not believe God is in charge.

I thought this was about Gustav. We need to think about getting ready for this storm. What the community needs to be aware of as a group. Not the election and who is Black or White. Please, can't we all think about how this storm will effect our lives and familes. We need to start preparing for days with out our basic utilities. This storm is not going to come in and hit only the people who like one person or the other. This thing does not think, it will take lives and distroy property of everyone. We need to pull together and prepair for the worest and hope it isnt like Katrina. Now, that said.

Think about filling up your tanks before the storm hits. Gas prices are going to rise due to the lack of production in the gulf. There may even be some damange to production plants. Think about the small details that can cause large effects in your or your families life. These are the things that are improtant for the next few days. After the storm is over go back to be littling each other if you like. Lord knows I have read enough of people putting each other down in these posts to last a life time.

Wait a minute, if it's racist to call black folks black, what is the non-racist word to use when being discriptive of a black person's race? Excuse me if I didn't know. I mean, black gotta be better than what I was taught to use, and I hear persons of African decent using that one quite regularly. I'm sorry to be so ignorant of the politically correct terminology, but neither of my parents made it to high school, so they really didn't care whether any of their kids did either. They preferred that we help out on the farm and said that if we didn't work, we didn't eat. And quite frankly, if becoming a scientist would have made me as arrogant and condescending as you are, I'm glad that I didn't get the education that you so boldly boast. I know you didn't. LOL

As far as donating to Obama, do he accept IOUs? As a matter of fact, I did check the $3 box on my tax return for a donation to the presidential election. And, had I known that the DNC was so gonna be so much like Woodstock, I certainly would have bummed a ride to get there. John McCain said that he didn't get to go to Woodstock, because he was tied up at the time, but he can make up for missing that party next week at the RNC.

And I'm not criticizing you, I'm trying to improve you.

Deception, Trust, .. and Online Security ...

In this fast-paced, internet-based culture that we're all a part of, there are a few things that we all need to be aware of. Among the long list.. items that we all need to be cognizant of, relates to online deception in all it's forms (MySpace/ Yahoo 360 Identity Fraud, Identity Theft, Security of our personal information, players, con-men/women, etc..).

Unfortunately, an ever growing majority of those on-line are NOT honest.. trustworthy.. or even who they say they are. MOST of these deceivers are fulfilling some inner need (conning others, living vicariously, boosting personal confidence, a fling.. a cheap thrill.. who knows).. most compelled to continue.. or addicted to the virtual recognition or relationships they hold (not honestly knowing the person on the other end of the wire).

It's very simple people. If you have been enjoying the housing market, the economy, the gasoline crises and everything the last 8 years has brought, please, be my guest, vote for McCain as there will be little to NO change to what we have going on now. If you however want to see this country PROGRESS and actually MOVE, if you want to see Bin Laden captured, and not some red herring of a war, then vote Obama/Biden!

WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE TO SHOW HIS SUPPORT FOR THIS COUNTRY???? Do you really REALLY believe that Obama can be-friend all of our enemies (Venezuela, North Korea, OSAMA)??? Do you really think that if he gets elected, all the nations in the ENTIRE world will be our allies?? Do you really REALLY think that the United States will be free of foreign oil in 10 years?
All of these things are empty promises, WORDS that sound OH SO GOOD, but in no way will ever happen. Number 1, there is no way this country will be rid of foreign oil in 10 years when the DEMOCRATIC PARTY signed a contract which DOES NOT ALLOW drilling of the Gulf Coast 5 months out of each year!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you TEACH4PEACE, even realize that everything you lay your hands on each day was in some way made from oil?????
Number 2, do you really think all these other countries (which possess ~80% of petroleum reserves) will be our friends? Think they wouldn't stab us in the back any chance they got???
WAKE UP! We need someone with EXPERIENCE that can FIGHT for our freedom. Most countries in this world DESPISE us due to our spoiled and wasteful nature. If we are going to keep living how we live (which to me is wonderfully), someone STRONG and POWERFUL has to lead, not someone who is empty, has no experience, and who is promising illusive dreams.

McCain was the one who used that line on Hillary about not having gone to Woodstock and saying that he was tied up at the time happy bunny and notfrom. And that's what I meant when I asked, can McCain answer a question without bringing up his POW days? When asked about not remembering how many homes he has, McCain goes into POW days...I didn't have a home, I didn't have a table, I didn't have a chair. But previously McCain himself has said that candidates shouldn't use their military and war experience to run a campaign, but apparently, only he can. When he can't come up with an answer, because he is an empty suit, he reverts back to POW memories and this is why I think he is suffering from PTSD.

What we need in this country is change, not the same old Bush 8 years like we've already been thru. We should give Obama a chance, because McCain has already had 26 years and hasn't done anything but blow up in people's faces when they crossed him and reminded them that he had been a POW. Many have been POW and many are still MIA, and you can fool some of the people, but there are Veterans of the Vietnam war who know the truth. Yes we should give Obama a chance, and give McCain PTSD treatment, and drug test Cindy.

Hillary wanted to be the first woman president. But now her chances are going down the tube. If Obama wins, she may have to wait presumably 8 years. If McCain wins, He probably won't make it 8 years. So that would make Sarah Palin the first woman President. I love the fact that HITLERY will never be president.

happybunny there are many people in this country that don't have a high school education, and some have a little bit more than that, or a little less, but that doesn't make them un-intelligent and incapible of voting in an election. You don't know whether I was joking or just trying to make a point because of the silly banter being spewed by obamayama. But, judging from the comments of the "supposedly educated" on this forum, I will say that having an education can turn some folks into arrogant cyber bullies, and I don't know that having an education helps, if you can't see the flowers for the trees. It just simply makes you a smartaleck! You can lie and tell people all day long how good their life is, and if it's not, people will still know, regarless of how stupid you tell them they are. It just seems to me that the Republicans are attempting to play some silly magical Jedi trick to convince people that they're mistaken about the last 8 years and that we weren't fooled into going to war over false reports of weapons of mass destruction.

We don't want more lies and deceptions. We want and need change which is what Obama can give us. McCain will only give us 4 more of the last 8 years. Gas is going up to $5/gal real soon, orange juice is already over $5/gal, and food prices continue to rise. I just don't see how we can take 4 more years of the same failed Bush policies.

Now for the main topic, Gustav, the main thing is we should all get gas while it's still available. As everyone knows I am NOT looking forward to all the evacuees added to the ones that never left. Of course while there is still danger it's fine, but once everything clears up they should go back where they come from.

Palin is young and doesn't have the experience...so there goes McCains bashing of Obama being inexperienced. McCain has no experience being president either. And if McCain does get elected, that still doesn't mean that Palin would become the first woman president, unless he dies while in office, but if not, she would have to run for president herself and get elected after his term is up. So don't get all giddy over it, because he hasn't won yet.

Google: Cindy McCain's sister and then tell me why it's ok for Cindy to lie about being an only child? Why should I feel good about her becoming first lady when she won't even acknowledge her own flesh and blood and has stolen drugs from sick babies and refuses to share a inheritance with her own sisters? How can she make a good first lady and care about all of the people of the United States when she can't care about her own father's children? How can McCain make a good president when he has allowed Cindy's behavior and lies? Their relationship is not what it's supposed to be or he would take notice; they have most of their married lives lived apart, theirs is a marriage for political reasons. Her charitable organizations were for her own benefit (for the drugs). Her trip to Georgia was strickly for political purposes and maybe for some rehab time. Why hasn't she ever gone to any of the US cities suffering from disasters?

She wants to be queen, but she hasn't the compassion to even care for her own family and denies them, as if they don't exist. No that's my daddy and you aren't his just because he donated DNA for your existance. This is my daddy's money and I'm keeping it all for myself just because I can. I need drugs and botox and breast implants and plastic surgery and million dollar homes, I'm not sharing my daddy's money with any of you paupers and I will deny you to the world and call myself an only child because you had different mothers.

Oh for crying out loud, I was joking. Black albino means lacking melanin, and that's the only thing that differs between black and white. A scientist such as yourself should be learned in these things. Google it.

Obama plans to cut taxes for 95% of all working families. End our oil dependence in 10 years. Eliminate capital gains taxes for small business and start-ups. Fund education and increase teacher's pay. Make assessable to all Americans affordable health care. change bankruptcy laws to protect pensions ahead of CEO bonuses. Equal pay for women and men. Close corporate loopholes and tax havens. Stop rewarding business that go overseas with tax cuts. And most important establish a time frame to remove troops from Iraq.

And that's all I have time to share with you, today. If you want to know more google his acceptance speech.

INDIVIDUALS have the responsibility to take care of the poor NOT governments…each person is responsible for himself and his family, then if he can't make it, his other family members should step in, then friends, then church organizations. If none of those can help then, as a last resort, the government is there. If we had these values, there would be no need to forcefully take obscene percentages of successful people's income from them.

And if you can show me even ONE verse in the King James version of the Bible where it says that governments should tax their citizens more to help the poor, I'll swallow the Bible whole, join the democrat party right now, donate 50% of my income to the federal government, and do bake sale fundraisers for Barack Obama.

Let me ask you this peace007, what do you think Obama will do if there is another 9/11? Think he will run to the leader of the Taliban or Al Qaeda and ask them to be friends?

I mean, really, why cant we stop being selfish about our lives, and start thinking about our children's lives. These terrorists aren't going away. When we remove troops from Iraq, what do you think terrorists will do then?

Obama's views are based on a typical selfish United States citizen who cares only about the amount of money that is in his/her pocket, not the future of this country, not our freedom, but how much money we can have RIGHT NOW.
He says give affordable healthcare, that is already in place, it is called medicaid, and it drains mine and everyone else's paycheck. But I do not care as long as I feel safe in my country from terrorists or nukes.

Good one old oneliner, your lines just get more and more STUPID. And just when will I find out I am nobody?

See peace, there is nothing you can say about the absolute. I asked what would Obama do in another 9/11 event and you cannot answer.

All I am trying to do is debate, it is you who can not keep up Peace. Your little comments saying "I ll vote for who I want to" remind of third grade.

Thanks Bob, I feel like Einstein when dealing with you guys. Man, you all are no fun.

WOAH WOAH WOAH, wait a minute, hold on. SAYITLOUD, what are you doing in this conversation? You are the biggest racist of anyone I have ever encountered. If I were to post the emails you have sent me, Peace 007 and every other A.A. citizen would despise you. You probably KNOW David Duke personally!

You are such an extreme hypocrit. You email me with nothing but racial slurs then come on here and TRY TO root against me by teaming with the people on here. My My My, I would certainly say you are bottom of the barrel. Now go get your bobby and go nite nite, it is past your bedtime! ahha

You know you just aren't happy unless you are bashing someone ANYONE and attempting to put yourself on a pedestal!

if diarrhea of the mouth is your idea of fun, I'll take a pass.
It figures you would feel like Einstein, you have a very inflated opinion of yourself.

Don't you have a hurricane coming up in your backyard?

Got nothing better to do than spew, Obamayamama?
Do you really have a job? or a life?

No more off topic for me..... I will leave that to you.

good night.

obama, I can't just stay on here all the time. I just come and go when I get a break. You sure don't want to give me a break huh. But, for a minute there I almost thought you had started missing me when I didn't respond soon enough. Oh well, now I've forgotten the question. You win. I have other things to do than stay and play with you on a Friday Night. LOL

This is crazy. I said Gustav would have trouble going west because the hot air coming from th epolitical convention and th epresidential campaigns out west, and it totally degraded into a name calling and personal bashing because of some political ideals....i was just joking around about all the hot air coming from BOTH presidential candidates...They both are doing a lot of talking.

Lets get some rest and go take a break folks.....

Have a good nights sleep.
