Stranded for days in a pool of fetid water, almost everyone waited for the government to come save them. They screamed into the cameras for help, and the reporters screamed into the cameras for help, and the "civil rights leaders" screamed into the cameras that Bush was responsible and Bush was a racist.

And Mayor Nagin screamed for the feds to "get off their asses", and Governor Blanco needed just 24 more hours to decide what to do.

All the while, the tough Acadiens made do, did what was necessary, and guarded their homes until the water went down. No big deal. All the while the Mississippians and Alabamians who lost everything salvaged what they could, helped one another and started the process of recovery.

I think we should put all the Democrats and whiners and fed-bashers in the Superdome, lock the exits and let them work things out among themselves.

Alabama and Mississippi should sue Nagin and Blanco for diverting critical resources to NO due to gross negligence.

Blanco cried, People died.

Mrs. Boudreaux and Mrs. LaPiere sitting on top of their house looking at the flood waters. They see a "gimme cap" float down toward the street. It turns around and floats back toward the house, then turns around and heads for the street.
Mrs LaPiere looks at Mrs Boudreaux and says, "That cap shore is acting odd."
Mrs. Boudreaux says, No it isn't, that's Emile, I told him, he was gonna cut the grass, come Hell or high water."
