This country has no effective leadership and it is painfully showing.

The Administration cut two badly needed dike repair projects from the 2005/2006 Army Corps of Engineers budget. Guess which two failed?  |
Why even try.........

Ok here's my 2nd rant. FEMA is a friggin' farce and money pit. If who the hell ever runs that circus was a Student of disaster, he would have known that starving homeless people freak the hell out. All catastrophies in our history have been followed immediatly with looting , crime and general mayhem and brigandage. If I remember correctly, nearly 1000 people were shot and killed for looting after the San Francisco Quake. Fema's job was to prevent that by being there immediatly to alleviate that scenario. They dropped the ball. And I guarantee you , Al Queda is trying to come up with a disaster in another location right now. And Homeland Security will drop the ball after playing with their little terror "rainbow". This Country is a mess right now, and we are pretty much learderless,our leadership is that ineffective. Gasoline prices are berserk. Transportation costs will skyrocket right soon. All other costs will follow...except labor costs. I fear that we all will soon find ourselves scraping the bottom of the barrel for enough to get by. That's one step from the poor people of New Orleans. Scraping fighting looting for a living. Please forgive my pessimisism, but it just looks bleak on down this road. The very idea of Americans walking around in waist deep sewage for a friggin' week is abhorrant to me and speaks volumns of our leader's opinion of their citizens.

A lot of larceny.....mixed with a pinch of manipulation, a dash of misleading, a touch of dishonesty, a truckload of ego, and an ocean of money.......... |

Yes Karl we do need to fish. Tomorrow night is fine, thanks for the suggestion! A fish would greatly help to break this dark mood that I'm in. Feeling positively revolutionary.

BBJ.. yer right... keep in mind anniversary of 9/11. if terrorist bastages had something planned, they gonna pull it now, while we are diverted, Hope for GD sure that somebody higher up has this figured out as well.... also, this disaster, all ninety thousand square miles of it, (!!!) and all several hundred thousand people of it, which has gotta be a logistical nightmare, even if yer freakin superman... OK, where do you put them??,  and who is agreeable, and for what cost, ie, tax incentive, govt. supplement, etc. etc.... what kinda promises were made to states and governors and stadium and arena owners, that probably won't be kept (Texas, and Florida).. I can't help but notice that Lousyanna is handling it worse than Ol' Miss, flood or not, .... Please don't get me wrong, ain't defending "W'impy, just my observation, and YES, it Sux, there was obviously, NO PLAN..... I also notice, no camera shots on tube, of looting of water and diapers, only lootin' of high end electronics and jewelry and booze.. Nat'l Gaurd gonna look the other way if they see somebody haulin water, or diapers, or food outta a convenience store, prolly gonna put a cap in somebodys arse if they taking oxycotten outta a pharmacy, or jewelry outta a store. I could be wrong, but, this is what I see when I stare at the boob tube.
But.. The whole thing Sux.
We need to fish.. PM?.. tommorow night???? |
