Are these people insane?

Don't answer that.

Just some quick points on the levees.

"By 1998, Louisiana's state government had a $2 billion construction budget, but less than one tenth of one percent of that -- $1.98 million -- was dedicated to levee improvements in the New Orleans area"

And just so you don't glance over that, that's $2 Billion with a "B" and only $1.98 Million with a "M" was spent on the levees.

That means $1,998,020,000 was spent on anything but the levees


And the levees were:

- 90% completed in 1999,

- Not slated to be complete until 2013,

&

- Never designed to withstand over a CAT 3 hurricane.

Where are the murderers and rapists reported in the Superdome?

Have they been arrested? There were plenty of witnesses. Have the raped come forward?

Anybody know anything?

"It is inhumane to have treated citizens of the United States like we were treated," she said. "


She's in for a surprise when she finds out who treated her that way, as in Mayor Nagin and Gov Blanco..

These people have an insane hatred of President Bush.

Moveon.org should be renamed moveontotherubberroom.org.

I read recently that MoveOn.Org actually drew up a 5 step plan when the Hurricane hit and I think this is step two. They think when they are done the President will be impeached.

Another MoveON disaster. You know after you get your a** kicked 5 or 6 times it's time to find a different opponent. The American people can smell manufactured outrage pretty quickly.

" Never designed to withstand over a CAT 3 hurricane."

That's an awful lot of money and effort for a guaranteed half ass job.
