No more Hurricane Katrinas, please.

Yeah, that was pretty shameful that N.O. had what 3+ days advance warning a CAT5 hurricane was going to hit an area below sea level? It was really shameful that people were told to leave and refused because of all the wonderful looting (not all, I know some didn't have the opportunity to leave). It was pretty shameful... all the school buses in the parking lots instead of assisting evacuations. It was pretty shameful that gang violence errupted in the streets. It was pretty shameful that people were shooting at relief helicopters. It was/is pretty shameful how long people were/ARE living off of the taxpayer afterward. It was pretty shameful that Katrina was blamed on the US not signing the Kyoto treaty and caused by globull warming. It was pretty shameful that the response lag was blamed on W hating blacks. It was pretty shameful that the CIA was blamed for blowing up the levees. It was pretty shameful the "law enforcement" confiscated weapons belonging to law abiding citizens.

And (I hope this isn't the case), it is really shameful when States' Rights "conservatives" think the feds should head up what should have been a state lead evacuation/relief efort. Doesn't the Govenor have the power and authority to call up the National Guard in response to natural disasters? Well, they did until a certain incompetent govenor in N.O. came along... then Kongress changed the law and the states ceded (unwillingly) more power to the feds. Now, the POTUS has the authority to usurp that power and authority from the govenors.

And, I don't think this will hurt 0 too badly... I seem to remeber an ice storm that occured on his watch... he did nothing for days and then gave the people poison peanut butter. It was largely ignored by the presstitutes.
