Hurricane Katrina

lol... what a complete git you are, J.M. I've often found hiding behind a wall is quite productive in ensuring someone else gets the blame for a error, especially if the other person looks guilty (as they often do). And the ready words spring to mind: "Prove it".

I daresay it seems alot of people seem to have gone to the J. M. Pescado School of Finger-Pointing, and most of them graduated with honors. You must have trained them well. But is it me or do most of them seem to be Democrats?
Not true. If they had truly been graduates of the my school of finger-pointing, they wouldn't be disagreeing about who to blame for it. They'd just blame him for it and get on with it. Like with Draklixa. It's always his fault.

Keep an old tin bath in the outhouse, and you've something to keep you afloat till the water levels drop!
On a more serious note, it seems odd that the US Federal government could go into Afghanistan and Iraq without permission from their Governments (ostensibly to sort out life-threatening situations) but couldn't override a state government in the US itself! Surely, to prevent this kind of thing ever happening again, there needs to be a rider added to the constitution to allow a takeover by the state if a local government is not handling a situation? What, in fact, would have been the case had the state government actually been wiped out by the disaster, and there was no government to make the decision to ask for assistance?
Last time the federal goverment tried to take over states rights, we had a civi war.
laeshanin -- that squirell took the words right out of my head.

About what that squirrel said:
If you watched the news in the early days of the disaster, you would've seen that the news people were trying to help the best they could. However, they had a JOB to do, and it was rather important: to report the full extent of the disaster, to share information about it, and to inform others on how they could help and where. You can't just expect them to throw their cameras into the water and help these people willy-nilly, especially when they were helping by letting their pleas be known acrossed the country. Besides, many of those newspeople didn't have the skills or the equipment to take care many of the needs. Their lack of expertise could've screwed up things.
