You know, I'm not sure I give a shit about what Bush has said or not
said. What bothers me rather more is the complete failure to effect a
decent evacuation process for the city of New Orleans. Current news
reports are suggesting that hundreds and probably thousands of people
are dead. I cannot understand how a country with the wealth and power
of the US, with the hurricane seen some time in advance, could have so
failed its citizens. This was not a tsunami that arrived without warning.
