Welcome to Hellmouth, LA

Now that New Orleans resembles something even the fine folks at Rockstar Games cound'ta come up with, the Feds have reacted like someone waking from a nap on a Saturday afternoon -

"Huh-wha? Riots? No food? Stranded babies? Uh, yeah. Hold on. Man, I was so asleep...let me get some shoes on. I'll be right over."

Cnn, Fox, The Weather Channel - they all knew to get down there ahead of time and get ready. Navy ships loaded down with food, water, helicopters and whatnot won't get there until Monday! A week later! Was this more of the current administration's pattern of wishful thinking?Aw, heck, it won't be so bad - that hurrycane'll greet us with candy and flowers...

I don't mean to be opportunistic, to exploit this devastating tragedy as an excuse to heap more derision onto Bush II and his band of miscreant robber barons, but they are really just continuing to play to type. Or maybe this all part of their grand plan to usher in the End Times.
