Katrina aftermath - what the fuck???

I think it's absolutely a political issue. And it will become hugely more so as the repercussions of this event unfold.

People have known NO was a disaster waiting to happen for a long, long time.

But, there will be time enough for the politics of this in the future. Investigations will tell us a great deal.

It's going to be a hellish night for those folks. Hopefully tomorrow the relief trucks will arrive.

One more thing, word around here is that Fats Domino is staying at Jamarcus Russell's (the quarterback for LSU) place. Not sure if it's true or not, but I think that it is.

First of all, I'm glad the board members are safe.

I can't respond to everything you said, it's too late and I'm tired, but fuck man you're heartless. They're too dumb to get out, so it serves them right?

Regarding your big brother comment, you can and should have it "both ways". The reason governments are created in the first place (in democracies) is to provide basic safety for the citizens, but at the same time stay out of or private affairs. Hurricane relief seems like a prime example of what any self-respecting government should provide.

Who said Bush cut his vacation 2 days short due to the Katrina?
