Gee, That's Swell

Hurricane Katrina: predicted to be the most damage inducing hurricane for the gulf coast since a hurricane in 1965.

The Weather Channel broadcasts had said since at least last Friday that it was going to inflict terrible devastation in Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama. The hurricane hit land on Monday morning. It is Wednesday; now 3 states have major damage and 3 others have minor damage and the domestic oil industry has suffered damage. So what do I read in the New York Times this morning:

"President Bush announced Tuesday that he would cut short his extended summer vacation and fly to Washington to begin work on Wednesday with a task force that will coordinate the work of 14 federal agencies involved in the relief effort. "

That's really generous. Way to support your people!

You have just got to love Dubya. I mean, thousand dead, millions displaced, one of our nation's great cities under water, and he is just as cool as a cucumber.

That man just doesn't care.

Ain't no Bush Pioneers in N'Orleans.

Seriously people. Dubya is living proof the a consience is not neccessary for success (if additional proof is required, see "lawyers").

New Orelans under water, people shootin' each other, people lootin', people starvin', the city is burning, and Dubya is watching TV. Nero would be proud...
