10 Reasons Why Google Desktop Will Be Discontinued
Here are some signs which show that the software will soon be discontinued:
1. One of the built-in gadgets is a small Twitter app that has been last updated in September 2009. Unfortunately for Google, Twitter changed the authentication API and the gadget can no longer be used.
2. Google Desktop's last significant update was in July 2009.
3. The most recent post from Google Desktop's blog is from July 2009.
4. Google Desktop removed two important features in January: search across computers and shared gadgets. "As of January 20th, 2010, the Search Across Computers and Shared Gadget settings feature will no longer be available. These specific requests to Google Desktop servers will no longer establish a connection."
5. The integration with Google search doesn't work if you enable Google Instant.
6. Google Desktop for Mac is no longer available and it's been replaced by Quick Search Box.
7. Google Desktop gadgets no longer work in iGoogle.
8. Google Desktop doesn't index web history in Google Chrome and Firefox 3.6.
9. Google focuses on migrating your data online, so a desktop search tool won't be very useful.
10. The software is slow, buggy and difficult to maintain.

Thats sad ;/ Because I like that feature from google desktop search, which shows old text files versions.. Its very usefull if doing some little programing. Windows doesn't have it by default search engine..ReplyDelete

Desktop is an essential tool at work. I have to be able to index my emails and IMs. Years-old information has come in handy more times than I can count.ReplyDelete
I think we can safely say that simply the fact that Google Desktop is a Desktop app meant it was gonna be discontinued eventually, especially now that we have CrOS.ReplyDelete
That's what Gmail and Google Chat are for? Everything is online.
And yeah, I'm not surprised. I'm personally more shocked Desktop lasted this long.

One could also make a list of this type for iGoogle. That the iGoogle gadgets page is still advertising World Cup updates as a "New!" item on Sep 21 2010 is a telling sign. The maintenance of this page is clearly a low priority for whoever is tasked with it.ReplyDelete
@Andrex. I hear ya.ReplyDelete
I used to live and die on Google Desktop, and when Microsoft finally got its act together (especially in 7), I simply failed to have any further use for it.
Ah, now I just have to wait for Chrome OS blissful oblivion (from the traditional OS).
Google Desktop has saved my ass countless times on its ability to cache text files and deleted emails.ReplyDelete
It would be horrible to see it go.
Oh dear........this is one of the most painful news I have heard from Google. Google always used to charm and surprise me. This is one of those times when Google hurts me.ReplyDelete
Google Desktop was awesomely useful and its speed and UI was uncomparable to any in the market. It has got many features that are non-existent in any other software. To force its users to work on cloud computing instead of desktop computing, is a very bad approach of Google.
- Andrew SmithSeptember 21, 2010 at 11:49 PM
Considering that roughly 70% of corporate PCs still run Windows XP (including mine!) I do not think that google desktop will have a lot of value for the foreseeable future. I think I would cease to function if I did not use google desktop- my 4gb worth of emails sits in a few folders as I know that to one I just perform a google desktop search.ReplyDelete
As it is an application even if development of the product stops, it does not mean that you cannot still use it - a benefit of not using a cloud app :-)
I agree with Andrew; I too run XP and plan to stick with it for a while. I did install Windows Search a while ago, but now I only have it enabled for Outlook, as it's slow and lacks certain features. So I still use GDS, it works great, and from time to time I even update my Yahoo Desktop Search index for which I'm sure will still index even the files missed by GDS and/or Windows Search.ReplyDelete
The best thing with GDS comparing to others is its simple browser-based search interface. It does the job very well. Pity if it goes away. The same was the case with Altavista desktop search (if anyone still remembers it).
- MikeInITSeptember 22, 2010 at 4:41 AM
Windows Search 4.0 has pretty much killed Google Desktop - it provides the ability to search and index the contents of files in any folder or folders you choose, including networked folders or shared folders on other machines, plus it indexes outlook emails as well. Excellent tool!ReplyDelete
Yep, it's a goner. We are spending more time in the cloud so it's need is dying.ReplyDelete

Number 11: Microsoft Search is working fine.ReplyDelete
It was a life save when it came out, but I have no use for it now. Most of my content is stored online, and those that aren't are stored neatly so I can find them quickly.ReplyDelete

I hope that we will never see 10 reasons why Google Reader or Picasa Desktop or Google Directory or Google Groups will be discontinued. :D And also I hope that all these products will stay up and running.ReplyDelete

Windows 7 has desktop searching built into it anywayReplyDelete
I agree with others about the continued need to use GDS, especially those of us forced to continue to run corporate-XP. windows search is hideously inferior...borderline ineffective.ReplyDelete
please keep it available for use.
I don't think that Windows Vista/7 has eliminated GDS' usefulness at all. After having bugs in GDS, given the lack of support Google has provided for its products, I have tried other desktop search apps and found them seriously lacking. I've always simply ended up uninstalling/reinstalling GDS and wouldn't think to use anything else. Hopefully it won't get discontinued anytime soon.ReplyDelete
Count me among those that rely heavily on Google Desktop at work and it has been a life saver many times. I'm not saying that Windows 7 hasn't made it less essential for new computers, but businesses are still heavily into XP and still avoiding cloud computing. So long as XP is common in the workplace there will always be a huge need for Google Desktop. Keep it going!ReplyDelete
It's not just Google Desktop. Google really needs to clean their entire house. There are a lot Google stuff floating around that hasn't been updated in a long time.ReplyDelete
Like Google ChromeOS. Ditch it. No one wants it or needs it. The desktop is dead anyway and you already have a major presence in the mobile space which is the future.
- AnonymousSeptember 22, 2010 at 12:24 PM
Somehow I never got through the insanely long initial scan, and considering most of my documents/emails are online, had no use for it. I prefer the ultra-light and quick Everything for local file search, though it doesn't index file content.ReplyDelete
XP needs to die anyways. Like, seriously. The sooner XP dies the better the world will be.ReplyDelete

I use XP and outlook 2003 at work & couldn't function without Google Desktop for searching email!ReplyDelete
I honestly flinched and yelped when I read this...I hope this talk of discontinuation is just a false assumption. As long as there is *any* kind of desktop outside the cloud, I hope GDT will stay with us.ReplyDelete
There are still a lot of people who function mostly offline, or using very slow connections (e.g. in many developing countries). Google Desktop was great for creating local cached versions of every web pages I visited, so that I could always go back and find them offline.ReplyDelete
And number 11: Microsoft made Google a mathematically sound subsidy to allow GDT to atrophy into Internet artifact oblivion, hence no need to pour the same billion into maintaining the fantasy that Google is anything better than a cloning, buying and boasting piece of internet shiite, much like GDT, exactly like Microsoft itself, LOL, can't clone a clone that is a clone of cloned pieces and a bunch of Intelligence community backed blood money tech farters that everyone seems compelled to sniff and spit all sort of personal information and behavior patterns into, "secure" that their entire networks have not already been designed for wireless super remote sniffing, in fact full daily inhalation LOL.ReplyDelete

Google is subsidized by more than Microsoft and the US Global Intelligence slush funding. Same with Facebook, and many other "overnight" wonder children. NO ONE loses when trillions are available to make sure every facet floats, for the final control of every potential individual, group, and organization that connects to such true sucker's bait built of fear, and doomed for ultimate GLOBAL failure. Don't be a sucker, Google and the rest suck at heart, and are the saddest ahsKissers, who like tech lawyers no the ugly truth, but say zilch as long as their johnson, like Einstein's, is stroked properly by the powers that really are, for empty fame, and emptier fortune.ReplyDelete
No wonder Gate's and others jumped that sell out Nazi rat ship, and Google floats faster onward on sails filled with bowel gases from a rotted shamelessly greedy super-global-substructure formerly known as the USA. Don't be suckered, and don't fear their supposed "power", the plug WILL be pulled, LOL. They will be devoured by holes within their own "secured" system. Fear not "geeks" and human "kings" are fools like everyone else, LOL.

One of the most important features I have used in GD is the MS Outlook personal folder search. No matter how large it grows, GD's Outlook search plugin is superfast. Even the latest version of outlook, search sucks.ReplyDelete
I am not sure why People like Microsoft's built in search. It will search alright but GD interface and speed is mindblowing.

I think I can share my experience after testing many Desktop Search softwares : my 10 years archives (about 500 Go) contains about 1.2 Millions html,pdf and .eml files (7 Millions if I add mainly images contained with html saved pages). Alas GDS did not index all the full text of my files but only parts of it ! (Although I think it is great to be able to make searches in gmail).
I prefer currently Copernic Desktop Search pro, for indexing my files. It took me about 3 weeks of indexing work full time to complete on a pentium double core /2Go Ram (about 2 years old computer). Note: I use also the very fast freeware "everything" for locating my video and mp3 files (which I don't index in CDS).
I also use the freeware "gmail backup" from time to time to save my emails as .eml files.
Hope this helps ;)

We had an option to use Google Desktop for Enterprise at the last place I worked in (which is a top 10 IT/Software company), and presumably it is still an option there now (it has been half a year since I left the place). Google Desktop used to work really well for me, specially in integrating deep search of intranet knowledge banks, mailing list archives stored on the local machine, and all other miscellany. This was really useful. I am surprised that it isn't deployed in more places.ReplyDelete
Presumably Google provides something similar for their employees.
this really makes me sad...a lot of the people commenting here doesn't seem to understand what google desktop is. GDS is a great tool for people who work with a lot of documentation that are not available on the web (i.e. proprietary, confidential docs). in terms of user experience, i think GDS is far superior than windows search 4.0. i recently made the commitment to fully move to windows search 4.0 because i did feel that GDS was going to be abandoned by google really soon as there had been no updates for more than a year. it wasn't pleasant experience. windows search 4.0 doesn't initiate search while you type and the interface is cluttered. i like seeing results while i type as based on the results im seeing i can adjust the key words that i used. also in my experience, GDS returns far more relevant results than win search 4.0. GDS is far speedier too. i wish google would reconsider. copernic search is a good option too but i still rank GDS above that. if GDS continues it will drive these other guys to improve their products.ReplyDelete
Seems to be the same as "Reasons Why Google Talk Will Be Discontinued" ... and I hate thinking about that.ReplyDelete
am i right?ReplyDelete
window search shows result when pst file is open
but GDS shows result even if the pst file was closed( only initially we had yo open it for indexing)
howevr it does not work with outlook2010
Another disappointed user! It's very unfortunate... CTRL+CTRL was a super quick way to get at searching my Outlook MailReplyDelete
Just had an idea: if they do discontinue it, could they please open source the code?ReplyDelete
Isn't that the civic thing to do once you've lost interest in developing an application? Is there any reason not to?
Can you say: ChromeOS, cloud computing, Chrome Apps, etc. GOOG isn't interested in doing things the "old" way, they want to change the way you look at operating systems, storage, data access and the Web itself. Why should they continue to support software that is in direct opposition to that purpose? Especially when it's now (finally) incorporated in dinosaurware (oops! I meant Windows).ReplyDelete

My ISP is terrible.. I can't "migrate" my data online. If Google is betting big on this, it needs to reconsider. The barriers to hosting everybody's everything are not merely technical, but social and political and quite frankly, genetic. People have personal space and will continue to want that.ReplyDelete
Really, if Google or anyone else thinks that this is going to change, then they need to stop hiring so heavily towards the Asperger's scale, because their corporate culture is in grave danger of "not getting it" ....
The way ahead is local + remote integration. IF Google is going to withdraw its know-how from the desktop, then another company is going to fill that and then own it.
- AnonymousMarch 2, 2011 at 12:05 PM
I do not understand why everybody is pretending Google Desktop software is just a search tool. I've been using outstanding gadgets of GD for years. And, any satisfactory alternatives of those gadgets still can't be find anywhere else. I expect Google that at least it should continue the support for this software in order to develop gadget engineers.ReplyDelete
This is awful news. I'm running XP at work with MS Office 2010, which doesn't work with Google Desktop. So I don't have the search enhancement of Windows 7, or the enhanced Google Desktop search and can't do anything about it. :-(ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 9, 2011 at 7:17 PM
this sucks....anyone have a good alternative to GD and windblows search ?ReplyDelete
I enjoyed GD, but I never found it had enough features for me to accomplish what I needed. Although it's not free I've been very happy with X1 and they have support for MS Office 2010!ReplyDelete
I don't think that Windows 7 made GDS obsolete. Simple fact: I know the name of the file I'm looking for, but I can't remember it's location - Windows search is pretty much useless in this case.ReplyDelete
So, despite using Windows 7, I am going to use GDS :)
- AnonymousApril 14, 2011 at 11:42 AM
Can anyone point out an intelligent alternative? I use GMail, GDocs, GCalendar and local files. What else can search Google and a local hard drive?ReplyDelete
I like desktop but I have to unininstall it :-( I use outlook 2010!!!ReplyDelete
@bobgott, I was also wondering what to use, but my bigger issue was that I couldn't use google desktop search on LAN.ReplyDelete
So I started development of something that would do this: tiefy.com
Still in beta, but I use it for my docs in dropbox and its working fine.

It is a shame that GOOGLE did not leave it as an option. It would take up minimal space on their server and if it continued to be downloaded it would demonstrate a need. Thus a commercial opportunity.ReplyDelete

The Computer is gradually being replaced with the Communicator--becoming toys for talking. The Cloudsters will eventually capitalize on the cultural mindset and rationalize cost savings by eliminating services. After all, do people really need search for their conversations; most of which is just frivolous dialog and incessant yammering.ReplyDelete

Uh oh. My Google Desktop search stopped working this morning, and I am just realizing it's discontinued and unsupported.ReplyDelete
Time to find a replacement. This reminds me Alta Vista's acquisition of the uunet nntp search index, and its subsequent shutdown. Fortunately Google resuscitated it as part of Google Groups.
I'm sorry mine and the other millions of desktops that are and will remain on XP for years are no longer a business interest. This is going to cause a major crimp in style for me when I go searching for files and emails looking for server settings I haven't accessed in years.
I am happy to use Google's products and endure online advertising as long as the transaction yielded benefits. That balance seems to have shifted. Good, evil, or somewhere in between?

A bit late but as with above, I have only just found that google desktop (gd) search/sidebar is no longer continued. This is unbelievable. Windows search is nothing like gd which indexes ALL files and contents of files - even my gmail which is a god-send (as the search in actual gmail doesn't display half the results of gd.ReplyDelete
My search has also seemed to have stopped working and this is frustrating as there is no replacement which will work in the same way and index as thoroughly (or do gmail).
Oh, and with the comment from Google saying "Google Desktop doesn't index web history in Google Chrome...". What's that about? gd (used to) indexes my Chrome history very well.
I will obviously have to find a substitute now as windows search just doesn't cut it - why google (a search engine) would think that microsoft can do a good enough job with a search facility I don't know. I'm just waiting for microsoft to merge the desktop search with bing and I'll be moving.
I just reinstalled XP on my grans laptopReplyDelete
now she will never know how to find any files because i just found out about google desktop has gone..
XP Windows search is crap..
and my gran cant afford a new laptop or even use windows 7...
Google.. you just lost a whole load of users.
Nearly every computer i've fixed, especially for xp users, all ask for google desktop to be installed as its FAST and WORKS FINE!
Google now just sucks... you made thousands struggle to find missing files... especially people like my gran.. who cant even find the my documents folder!
.... Here comes the 6 times a day 1 hour long phone calls thanks to this

I have written gadgets for my customers to monitor their web sites. Windows 7 messed up with the sidebar because they decided not to make it "always on top", the work-a-round was to install Vista sidebar, but this caused two of my machines to lock up. So I switched to GD and it is excellent, I use the search as well and that is good. I don't like the idea of re-writing my gadgets again for whatever win8 has to offer, but that is my only option at the moment. Rts.ReplyDelete

GDS was gr8 tool for a PC having many files & which needs to be retrieved. I ask Google Team to please support GDS & reintroduce it with a bang.ReplyDelete
Google, you say the code was difficult to maintain, well there are tens of thousands of developers around the planet that could not only maintain, but further develop GDS into the Microsoft beating local search solution it deserves to be.ReplyDelete
SAAS is only one part of our computing lives, we still have our own hard drives to search, so please, release the code and let GDS live.
hey, I'm still here and still using Google Desktop, and still think it's essential, especially if you have Outlook or Any Microsoft Product for that matter. In my opinion Microsoft still does not have "a powerful desktop search engine".... desktop is still much fasterReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 3, 2012 at 9:33 AM
Really a shame this is no longer supported or for that matter no longer available for download.ReplyDelete
I don't think the reason this is no longer available has anything to do with microsoft searching functionality as we all know it simply does not work, but i think it has more to do with the fact that google has no financial interests in data which they cannot mine, e.g. in your machine.
Google business module is all cloud based, where they can mine the data and make money from your data, so there is no room for great desktop apps like google desktop.
I do think if they made it open source that some developers out there could revive it.

I too am a user who was saved by Google Destop! I have since bought a new laptop and need to transfer the index so that i can access it from my new lappy! Does anyone know if you can export Google desktop timeline into Google doc or to a cloud facility?ReplyDelete
Hmm, i am going to miss Google Deckstop too, it save my job a lot easier. Now i just got a new computer and lost that life saver.ReplyDelete
It was bad enough Google discontinued Google Desktop. Now they have disabled it as well. When I started up my computer I got an error message about the Google Desktop database being missing or something like that. It is gone. Gone. Gone. Google reached down from the cloud like God and snatched its progeny from my desktop. As if they have the right to reach into my PC and mess with it.ReplyDelete
Bad Google. Bad, bad Google.
In this day and age Google Desktop has saved my life more times than that abomination called Win 7 search...ReplyDelete
Predictions clearly are not your strong suit.ReplyDeleteReplies
Why? It has been discontinued since then.Delete
bring back google desktop for outlook email - whyyyy discontinue such a cool appReplyDelete
bring back google desktop for outlook sucha value tool. Windows search sucks - so slow and crapReplyDelete

LOS ANGELES – A San Francisco Giants fan who suffered brain damage in a beating at Dodger Stadium won his negligence suit against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, with a jury awarding about $18 million but dividing responsibility among the club and the two men who beat him.
Plaintiff's attorney Tom Girardi said the verdict means the Dodgers must pay about $14 million in economic losses and a portion of a separate sum for pain and suffering, which adds about $1 million more.
The jury delivered its verdict in a Los Angeles courtroom after weeks of testimony about the assault in a stadium parking lot after the opening day game in 2011 between the rival teams.
Bryan Stow, 45, was left with disabling brain damage following the attack. Dodger fans Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood pleaded guilty in the attack after a lengthy preliminary hearing in which witnesses said security guards were absent from the parking lot where Stow was attacked.
Lawyers for Stow claimed the team and former owner Frank McCourt failed to provide adequate security at the stadium. The defense countered that security was stronger than ever at an opening day contest and Stow was partially to blame because he was drunk.
McCourt was absolved by the jury on Wednesday.
The jury's finding was "a lot better than what we had," Stow's father Dave Stow said.
"He did get some money to help the future and that's what we wanted -- we wanted help," Dave Stow said. "He's not going to be 100 percent, maybe for a long time, maybe never. What he gets is going to help him through now, and that's what he needs."
"We'll make it work for him," mother Ann Stow agreed.
They said they had not spoken to their son, who did not attend the hearing, but did talk to his sisters and expected they would talk to him.
Dave Stow said his brain-damaged son probably wouldn't understand the details, "But Bryan will know that he got some help today."
Stow's mother said she held her husband's hand as the court read the part of the verdict in which jurors found her son not liable for the attack. That verdict was unanimous, unlike the other two, in which jurors split over whether the Dodgers or McCourt were liable.
"I was so ecstatic because we know our son and we know that the picture the defense was trying to portray was not Bryan at all," Ann Stow said.
Girardi had asked for more than double the $18 million sum, but said he still considered it a victory.
Attorneys for the Dodgers and McCourt declined comment after court.
Dana Fox, the lawyer for the Dodgers and McCourt, argued that they bore no responsibility for the attack. In closing arguments, he showed jurors enlarged photos of Sanchez and Norwood and said they were responsible along with Stow himself.
Fox cited testimony that Stow's blood-alcohol level was .18 percent -- more than twice the legal limit for driving -- and a witness account of Stow yelling in the parking lot with his arms up in the air.
"There were three parties responsible -- Sanchez, Norwood and, unfortunately, Stow himself. There were things Mr. Stow did that put these things in action," Fox said.
He added, "You don't get yourself this drunk and then say it's not your fault."
Girardi contended the team and McCourt had failed to provide enough security to keep Stow and other fans safe at the game.
"Dodger Stadium got to a place where it was a total mess," Girardi told jurors. "There was a culture of violence. Beer sales were off the charts."
He also said, "The only thing Bryan Stow was doing was wearing a jersey that said `Giants."'

Homeland Security, my black ass…
Shall we begin...?
His Pontifical Greatness, Brother Rob Thurman and this bitch are calling for a revolution.
A bitch is so mad…so angry…so frustrated and disgusted that it's probably not healthy. Fuck it.
Settle your asses down, chil'ren. A bitch has some serious shit to say.
In 2004, the majority of Americans (or so they say) voted Scooter in for a second term. Scooter's campaign was planted firmly on the foundational ass of "family values". Now, as America witnesses those values in action, this bitch is going to go the fuck off…
ABB's Indictment of those who voted for Scooter…
While you embraced a policy of marriage exclusivity and encouraged your government to spend tax dollars to pay for…well…the promotion of marriage exclusivity, the levee remained unprepared and the poor unprotected.
While you embraced a policy of preemptive war in the face of overwhelming evidence that American was not threatened by Iraq…the fucking levee's problems went unaddressed and the impact of abject poverty was ignored.
While you sank time, money and energy into campaigning for a man who has more money than Gawd, Gawd's children lived in a city with a fucking ticking time bomb otherwise known as a levee in need of some fixing. How many chil'ren could you feed with the dollars you spent on those W'04 stickers?
While you pontificated about an "ownership society", Gawd's children struggled in a society where they own nothing.
These are your family values? Does this, in any way, mirror the teachings in that bible you utilize to pass judgement on others? Well, judgement goes both ways, motherfuckers. Here's a healthy dose right back atcha! The poor are dying. The weak are unprotected. A bitch feels the Devine One's displeasure and my ass wants to weep.
Your apathy and indifference makes me sick. Your current shock at the manifestation of anger brought on by decades of greed and oppression makes me want to vomit. My head hurts and my soul burns.
A bitch indicts you! A bitch has judged you! Shame, shame and double shame.
To the politicians who say this is not a time for politics…there has never been a better time for Americans to examine their actions, their vote and their government. If my ass worked at McDonald's and the shift went to shit you had better believe that fuck up would be examined in real time.
To the Americans who waxed on about their willingness to relinquish fundamental civil rights to the Department of Homeland Security…do you feel secure now? Was it worth it? The DHS can't even secure New Orleans…but they can seize your medical records, your library records, enter your home and search it without cause and detain you indefinitely without charges. Again, was it worth it motherfuckers? Answer me! Because my ass sure heard from you shits when you were ranting about Scooter being the "right man for the job".
The President addressed the nation this morning and said
"We are making progress."
Are we?
"We are putting a plan together."
Just now? Nothing on paper ahead of time?
"The response has been inadequate."
No shit.
To my beloved fellow chil'ren…a bitch lives in a two-river town and a state that has been dodging a monumental earthquake for 100 years. Your government will not be prepared. A bitch has put together the following recommendations for the chil'ren…
ABB's Department of Bitchitude Security...
Vote…register others to vote…volunteer at the polls…monitor your elected officials. Keep a copy of your local paper's front page from today…blow it up real big and print it on a huge poster. Take that to the polls with you. The next time you see a W'04 sticker on a car, roll down your window and shout SHAME!
Store bottled water in your home. Have enough to last a month. If you do not have space, partner with some folks that live close by and maximize space.
Store canned food. Vegetables and other goods can be purchased in cans. Have enough on hand for a month. Calculate the number of people by a minimum of 2 meals per day.
Stock up on meds., first aid materials and any prescriptions…for a month. Get the shit online if you have to. People are dying from diabetic shock…may Gawd have mercy on us.
Stock up on pet food. These are also members of your family…get canned food.
Come up with an evacuation plan. Discuss it with your family and friends. Have a meet up point planned in advance. Have options and make sure everyone knows them.
Get a bike. Trust a bitch, get a motherfucking bike.
Get a weapon. A bitch hates guns, but my ass will have a baseball bat by sundown.
Get prepared and be proactive, because your government sure as shit won't do it for you…
Now is the time to help our brothers and sisters in the Gulf. But don't loose sight of the fuck ups that exasperated this drama.
Remember and remind others.
Remember Katrina...

Amen sis-ta! We all now know that is anything major ever happens here at home we are fucked! Can't rely on the government to help. Store food and water. By a guy, learn how to us it! Thanks for sharing ABB.
- Brick City said...
Amazing post...I absolutely share your anger.
- DAVE BONES said...
I like the way you put it.
- Sangroncito said...
I feel your rage, ABB, and I share it. ENOUGH, I say! My heart is heavy and I'm fucking angry.
- ayodele_ said...
ABB, i cannot *STAND THIS SHIT*!!! all these smarmy coiffed reporters tsktsking at 'the looters', all these people people who look like me seemingly left to die... i. cant. stand. it.
- Maven said...
No matter where we live, we all should have an escape route. Plain and simple.
Additionally, it must be said that eventhough our "government" has not mandated we all go into "ration" mode, we must do what we can to live RESPONSIBLY.
Recycle where we can. Conserve our energy where we can. Turn out lights. Don't let your car idle waiting for someone. Open all your windows and rely upon Mother Nature for ventilation and cooling (where possible). Go up in the attic and check the insulation--insulate where necessary. Prepare for the cold, harsh winter which IS INDEED AHEAD... FOR ALL OF US.
Perhaps I am just jazzed up because I returned from Vermont, which I must say, has got to be one of the most forward thinking states I've visited, and one I would gladly consider retiring to.
Everything there is GREEN. Food bought at COOPERATIVES. Sustainable agriculture, organic this and that. Some might call it a CRUNCHY STATE. But it all makes sense in the long run, the BIG PICTURE.
When I went thru Church Street in Burlington, I always come across activists handing out pamphlets and informing folks of what is out there to get involved with. It was rainy while there, but there is a "store" which sells RESPONSIBLE things, and is associated with the Peace & Justice Center. If I lived in Vermont, I would be going to this place and signing up for SOMETHING. LINK: http://www.pjcvt.org/center.htm Apparently they have groups all over.
Nothing makes me more pissy than seeing someone in those "fuck you mobiles" Hummers, Escalades, Durangos and the like, with a "Support the Troops" sticker on the back. What do those vehicles get? Five miles to the gallon? What does anyone (who does not live on a FARM) need big honking vehicles like that for, other than a show of ostentatiousness? Granted we all are free to do what we WANT, however, shouldn't RESPONSIBILITY come into the decision making process? AT ALL?
It's all conflicted messages. Someone choosing not to smoke or drink, someone choosing not to consume or use something that knowingly causes cancer or blight, someone who recycles bottles and cans, someone who gives clothes to Good Will... yet, we ALL KNOW our soldiers are being put in harm's way UNNECESSARILY, yet despite everything else, that person chooses to buy and use a vehicle which we ALL KNOW is explotative and is energy INEFFICIENT.
My grandparents had to conserve energy and resources during WWII. Very few would say that the CAUSE of the war was not a good one. Sugar, coffee, butter... all were rationed goods. America pulled together and came up with ways around this (ever wonder how margerine or CocaCola cakes got their start?).
Yet, look around, there are still folks who are walking around as if life is a friggin' party, and acting as if thousands of our soldiers do not have their lives on the LINE every single day.
"Here endeth the rant."
- Lisa said...
ABB, I could literally FEEEEL you seething with anger and I am so right there with you and all the others who posted. Damn. I cannot believe this mess.
Did you guys see this from Kos (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/9/2/133252/4214)
They held back volunteers for the parade!
A friend of mine called this morning from Kentucky. A bunch of his buddies from a rescue squad went down to New Orleans with boats and trucks, etc. to help in the search. The FEMA guys wouldn't let them in telling them to spend the night with the rest of the volunteers in this staging area. They were told that FEMA was letting them all go in "together" in the morning (just as Bush arrived!). They were really pissed that they had to hang around all night while people were dying. They have boats that could be out searching for people. But instead they were kept for the "parade"!
And you know good and Goddammed well that's the truth. (BIG SIGH)
- dondon009 said...
THANK YOU again, for telling the truth! The St. Petersburg Times (Sept. 2, 3005) quoted Bush as saying "I hope people don't play politics during this period of time." Bush knows damned well politics are going to play a part in this disaster. In 2004, the Bush administration cut funding requested by the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for holding back the waters of Lake Pontchartrain by more than 80 percent. Additional cuts at the beginning of this year (for a total reduction in funding of 44.2 percent since 2001) forced the New Orleans district of the Corps to impose a hiring freeze. If that ain't politics, I don't know what is!
- Absolut Billy said...
"A year ago the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed to study how New Orleans could be protected from a catastrophic hurricane, but the Bush administration ordered that the research not be undertaken. After a flood killed six people in 1995, Congress created the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, in which the Corps of Engineers strengthened and renovated levees and pumping stations. In early 2001, the Federal Emergency Management Agency issued a report stating that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the three most likely disasters in the U.S., including a terrorist attack on New York City. But by 2003 the federal funding for the flood control project essentially dried up as it was drained into the Iraq war. In 2004, the Bush administration cut funding requested by the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for holding back the waters of Lake Pontchartrain by more than 80 percent. Additional cuts at the beginning of this year (for a total reduction in funding of 44.2 percent since 2001) forced the New Orleans district of the Corps to impose a hiring freeze. The Senate had debated adding funds for fixing New Orleans' levees, but it was too late."
In the past 24 hrs I have heard Scooter and his minions describe the govts reponse to this disaster as "amazing", "fantastic", "courageous" etc. What the fuck are they watching? While I have always thought Bush was a lost cause, i am not sure I have ever been so ENRAGED over an administration from top to bottom as I am now.
Any thoughts on an AMP etc fundraiser?

I'm tired of being an American. I'm plotting my escape starting today.
- Morrigan said...
I've quoted part of your post today and linked back to you. You say it so damn well.
The flier idea with Katrina headline is a damn good one, I'm scanning one into my computer for future use.
- Unknown said...
Full on fucking brilliant, I've posted a bit on my blog, fantastic post!
- monkey said...
i read numerous articles yesterday trying to make sense of it all. clearly, that was an impossible task. my blood pressure elevated.
even fox news (bush family owned) couldn't cast w. in a good light.
"The president has wanted to visit the area as soon as possible," McClellan said. "We didn't go sooner because we didn't want to be disruptive of efforts on the ground."
--FOX news 9/1/05
did they just fucking say "disruptive"? how can your show of support and actually doing your job be disruptive? what's his big bullshit pledge of "protecting" americans really about? oh yes, rebuilding iraq, it's keeping us safe, remember?
i also almost shit myself when mcclellan mentioned "efforts on the ground". what efforts? minimal at best.
on the news last night, i saw n.o. police officers turning in their badges and rambling that they "were not going to risk being killed while offering aid". a huge WTF? i'm sorry, but when you take your oath, and put on that blue uniform, everyday you put your life on the line aiding others. IT'S YOUR JOB, MOTHERFUCKERS.
and the icing on the cake--supplies will trickle in until those pesky crowds simmer down. right. like starving to death while your sitting in your neighbors feces will allow you to remain calm.
i still haven't heard from all my people in louisiana, and every hour i feel my heart break open a little more.
Hey ABB..
I totally 100% support you. "Family Values" is some circles means "middle class - republican white america." what a shame. Those who did not have are going without, what they really need. And I've pushed the racial issue on my blog. Because I think it is important.
The poor and the salt of the earth are not high on the "help immediately" radar. Most live below the poverty level, therefore, they government does not see them for the most part, i know this because PWA's in Miami lived and ran in these social assistance circles for many years.
And You know that when these people get out of the horror of this tragedy, they will go after Scooter... And I hope they take him down.
The response would have been immediate if a totally 100% white upper class american city was destroyed, but that was not the case, and the government Missed the Mark. And the dead will haunt Scooter for the rest of his life.
It is sad. Truly and horribly sad. My step mom is now in St. Louis with my step sis after evacuating New Orleans on Sat night... I pray for all of you.
- Dixie said...
The only politician I can see who is telling the God's honest truth at this time is Ray Nagin.
When I saw Bush in Mobile today and the general handjob that he and the governors were giving one another I thought "And still he's worried about appearances. He simply will not say 'We dropped the ball but by God we're picking it up now!'. He can't admit a mistake to save his soul.".
As for a plan to survive an earthquake or hurrican or other natural disaster, don't think that not living around an area prone to such things that you don't have to prepare too. All it takes is that fucking bird flu shit to make its way out of Asia and through Europe and you'll be in a world of shit soon enough. Prepare to save yourself because you can only count on yourself.
- BarefootCajun said...
Preach it, sister, preach it.
You have me in tears here. All the lives lost because we have an idiot in the White House. I'm just sick about it all.
- CrankyProf said...
I'm so beside myself with grief and anger right now, I can't even post coherently. I'll leave it to Brother Rob and the ABB.
Where the fuck are we going as a country?
Who do we want to be?
Is it too late for us? I mean, really too late?
I'm in a mood so low, so evil, that it borders on despair.
- CrankyProf said...
(Sorry for posting again, ABB)
And, for GOD'S SAKE, get your own shit together and create a disaster preparedness kit. ABB's list is a good starter. It's a damn sight sure that we can't rely on our governement to do a Goddamn thing for us; it's every bitch for herself.
I'm only half-joking when I say we ought to look into some collective meeting-place to go to when the shit truly hits the fan, to pool resources and create a safe community.
- Disgusted in St. Louis said...
As reported in the WaPo, despite the offer of aide in the form of boats, aircraft, tents, blankets, generators, and medical teams from over two dozen countries, the UN, NATO, and OAS...Scooter claimed in his interview on ABC. "I'm not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn't asked for it...You know we would love help, but we're going to take care of our own business as well, and there's no doubt in my mind we'll succeed. And there's no doubt in my mind, as I sit here talking to you, that New Orleans is going to rise up again as a great city."
The aide offers from other countries have been kept on hold while Scooter and his Secretary of State Condi were busy vacationing. Scooter, imagining himself as Nero, spent time strumming guitar while NO drowns. Meanwhile, Condi decided to play Imelda Marcos and buy $1000 shoes in NYC and attend a Monty Python show, Spamalot, on Broadway.
Today, both distraught over the interruption of their well planned vacations, sought solace in photo-oppurtunities. Scooter found a sufferring black woman and her daughter seeking clothing to hug for the cameras before directing them to a Salvation Army Center that had ceased to exist in the storm. Condi spoke about ties to the Gulf Coast with her roots in Alabama before dragging herself into a staff meeting to discuss ways of coordinating offers of foreign assistance from more than 30 countries, none of which the State Department has accepted as of this time.
And so (hopefully) begins the deline and fall of ScooterCo. But "Fasten Your Seat Belts, folks. It's going to be a bumpy ride!"
Anyone erecting guillotines in Washington DC yet?
- Hammer said...
It's time It's time It's time. Sublime detonation of a new beginning. The revolution is happening in Louisiana. Let's show our support. Not by offering money. Not by endorsing the involvement of the private sector.
By exposing Bush and his misappropriation of OUR MONEY. Louisianians and Mississippians are prime examples of Bush's "Taxation without representation ethics." It's on bitches. Let's DO THIS THING!

Steve Gilliard has a note to our conservative friends.
(ABB -- I hope this lengthy post does not offend and only informs. If it causes any problem delete it or let me know and I will delete it)
Steve Gilliard at The News Blog has an outstanding post this morning, which belongs on the front page of every newspaper, should be read during every Sunday news show, and deserves to placed in the Congressional Record despite or because of containing words of profanity that needs to be spoken.
I strongly encourage clicking through and reading the entire posting instead of just some of the excerpts, which follow.
We Told You SoEver wonder why New Yorkers detest George Bush?
Because we experienced his incompetence up close and person. We knew this guy was full of shit, absolutely full of fucking shit, after they started to play games with the funding and gave Wyoming terrorism money. We knew he was an assclown then.
We have been screaming for two years that Bush and his team sucked. That they had no clue. They sent soldiers to be wounded in Iraq without armored anything. And you idiots cheered him on from the safety of your keyboards. We told you he was fucking up Iraq. But no, we supported Saddam, we were racist, we blamed America.
You say this isn't about politics? Fuck you, this IS politics, real time, real life politics, where the insanity of all your ideas are exposed to the world for the fraud that they are. Tax cuts kill. Ask the relatives of the dead of the Gulf Coast.
Well, motherfuckers, and that means you, fat ass Goldberg and your master, Rich Lowry, PNAC Bitch Beinart, the racist wannabe white Malkin and the little fucktards at LGF, Bareback Andy and "Diversity" Instacracker, all you backstabbing, fag hating uncle tom ministers, you can see Dear Leader in action. America's largest port is gone, maybe forever, gas is $5+ a gallon and FEMA is coming. Whores come faster with old men than FEMA is getting to NOLA.
How did your wartime President react? Like Chiang Kai-Shek when the Yellow River flooded in 1944, with corrupt indifference.
Bush, the man your fever dreams built into the next Winston Churchill when he is really the live action Chauncey Gardiner, has failed to everyone, in plain sight, without question. Rick Perry is trying to save his ass, but it ain't working. NOLA looks like ANGOLA and that ain't flying.
Say 9/11 changed everything now, motherfuckers. Ooops, 9/11, 9/11. 9/11. Doesn't work anymore? Gee, maybe the sea of alligator MRE's once known as the citizens of New Orleans has something to do with that. Now you can shut the fuck up about 9/11. Bush just proved what would happen with another 9/11. Dead Americans as far as the nose can smell.
George Bush's ineptitude has killed far more Americans than Osama could have dreamed of.
You can't hide behind racism forever. Bush fucked up, Bush is a weak, callous leader and the world knows this like it knows few other things. And all the stolen TV's in the world cannot hide that.
- L said...
wonderful post and great blog title! found you through Bitch phd
- Jas said...
I agree with you wholehearted. I don't expect much from our governmet anymore, but they are letting those people die. They are sitting back and letting those people die. If I hear one more Bush supporter tell me what a good job he's doing, I swear I will wring their neck.

Angry Black Bitch for president!
- Soulknitting said...
Standing and SCREAMING with you about this whole situation. If I live in Las Vegas and know last SUNDAY that people that can't drive out of NO are told to go to the Superdome and Conv Center...how can the Director of FEMA say to me on TV on FUCKING THURSDAY that he didn't know there were people there?????? Why can they drop sandbags in the fucking canal and NOT drop palettes of water and food in the parking lot?
WHERE the fuck is CORPORATE AMERICA MONDAY? Why aren't Budweiser, McDonalds and Wal-Mart DRIVING TOWARDS TEXAS with trucks full of WATER and FOOD to get in there after the hurricane goes over? I started bitching about this on TUESDAY on my blog!!
WHEN you KNOW a CAT 5 Hurricane is going to hit, don't you start DRIVING with supplies in that direction from the areas that AREN'T going to be hit? Vegas sent TWO --- FUCKING TWO -- Red Cross people out (BIG TV Coverage) on TUESDAY for a 30 HOUR drive!!!! FUCK ME!! WHY didn't the RED CROSS send 200 people out on FUCKING SUNDAY while CNN is giving us the tracking info?
If I can think about staging relief efforts on the Texas border before a storm I WANT a fucking job in FEMA and Homeland Security NOW cause I know dam well I can see what's coming at me and you!! Homeland is worried about my Terrorist Tits ( I blogged about THAT shit too) at the airport but doesn't see shit about to hit the fan in the Gulf Coast? FEMA runs hurricane drills in New Orleans in 2004 and doesn't write up a fucking RESCUE PLAN?
Why are indivdual rescuers and Ham Radio Operators kept OUT? I AM SO FUCKING DONE WITH PAYING THESE PEOPLE TO DO A JOB and it NOT GETTING DONE!! PEOPLE ARE DEAD because of them NOT DOING THEIR JOB. (Mangement NOT the rescuers).
And concerning your own escape plan, please send a email to a nujmber of friends with everybody elses name and address and phone and email. As a single person, my friends in New Mexico don't know my friends in Washington. So if/when we get nuked here in Vegas and I have to get out. The EMF's will fuck up all communication. So my friends in other places should know which way I might be heading and who they are to each other. And I should have a driving plan on how to get out of here, because obviously, FEMA and Homeland aren't gonna help for at least one week!
Also, email pics of importance to your friends for them to hold on their computer if yours gets trashed. I keep seeing all those poor people going back for pictures of family. Get copies of them out of the house for someone to hold for you.
Concerning money and online banking, my friend in Baton Rogue said she can't do her online banking because her bank was destroyed in New Orleans. So, don't have everything in one bank and know how to get money and pay bills NOT online if you have to.
Blessings to all in this shared misery and especially those who are suffering in any way from this storm. My heart is just SCREAMING and breaking for all those people. Knitting Bloggers raised over $100,000 for the tsumani in one month and we are well on our way to working on topping that for our FUCKING FELLOW CITIZENS WHO ARE DYING OUT THERE!!! As of today, we're at $32,000. I have links to a few of the blogs from my blog. There are two bloggers that are doing the efforts this time around if you're interested. You don't have to be a knitter.

And get those damned cameras out their faces. There's one thing I can't stand and it's been taken for photos when I'm unprepared. Give me a comb, some dry clothes...Better yet, get this bitch some food and water before you decide to feature me in your photo ops. Thanks!
I second the Angry Black Bitch for President!
I am also profoundly angry and depressed over what's happening in the southeast, although I do feel like ultimately something wonderful will rise from the waterlogged ashes of Katrina. Due to the lack of response of our "elected" officials, I sense the winds of change starting to blow in this country, and for the first time I am actually feeling somewhat optimistic that the long night of the Repuglikkklan thugs may be drawing to an abrupt and well deserved end.
Bush has asked that the American people do whatever they can to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. (Obviously because he is incapable of mustering any sort of coherent response whatsoever.) Ok, fine. No problem! My suggestion? STAND UP AND CALL FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF HIS WHOLE FUCKING ADMINISTRATION, STARTING WITH HIM FIRST!
- Michael said...
Learn how the evacuation plan is written.A black mayor and a female govenor, both democrats had 3 days and plenty of equipment to get those people out.You would blame bush if you stubbed your toe.
Hey, ABB, you are not exactly correct on the NO story. New Orleans received money from the Govt. several years back to repair and reinforce the levees. But, they decided to invest in Casinos, etc. instead of using the money for the original purpose. This story came directly from people that were living there when the money was received. The individuals I got this story from had dinner on many occasions. They were also on a first name basis.
I guess we will never know the truth but we do know that this is a Federal, Local and State issue for Lousiana. It may never be resolved to be honest. Maybe a whistle blower will come forward and give us the Low Down.
