Way down yonder in New Orleans ---

Okay, we agree. This is a full-blown disaster. EVERYONE is going to feel this one. Bush was cought flat-footed on vacation, but lets lay the blame where it begins, FEMA and Brown. HE should have called BUSH immediately, but then Bush had to call him!! He-llooo! This is not a simulation. This is not a dry-run. It's a disaster, involving many many thousands of people and consequently, the whole nation. FEMA is a federal agency, sposed to field the emergency, get rolling and fix it. The governor of Louisiana needs to step aside and let the nation roll in there and do stuff. She wants the 'control' of this to stay in Louisiana. uh, he-lloo again, what control??? It's out of control! Disease is gonna have a field day! No sanitation, no water, --won't be long folks until various epidemics are going to check in, decimating all those who stayed, either by choice or by circumstance. Does anyone care that the busses supposed to ship people out of the area were left in a shopping center, to be drowned to the rooftops with water??? And water! Being drained into reservoirs via 4 " pipes. Okay. Can a body transverse through those pipes? Small ones, loaded with bacteria and other delights? It's time to roll, people. Never mind the finger pointing. Just do what needs to be done. ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE! i HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH DENIAL ! FEMA shame! Shame! What part of Emergency do you not understand?

And oh by the way. Check out Richard Hoagland. He's got some theories on ol Katrinka. What if. Dare we suggest? That Katrinka was an engineered storm? That Mother Nature got an assist from some really nasty if brilliant people? Follow the evidence, follow the events. Sure looks rather odd. If you slot in the (impossible!!) possibility that Katrinka was an artifically enhanced hurricane, then that explains all the footdragging, and stupidity that's been going on. oh well, I find it hard to swallow myself, but ----!!
