I admit it was my fault, well sort of. Some of the earlier posts were taliking about covering up the 'real' death toll from this disaster (a supposed repeat of Andrew) and refrigerator trucks for the dead that would never be reported. And I called bs. From the statements of officials the past day or so, it is clear none of this was going to happen.

Well, I don't see exactly how you're involved but don't sweat it. I'm watching some of the television coverage tonight. It really is appalling. I can't believe how inept the government's response has been. Local officials can't even control the police and quite a few survivors may die before we get federal resources there. Sadly enough, some of the private charities and the corporate efforts like Walmart beat the feds and the locals to the scene on delivering lifesaving aid.

Waiting for this government clown posse trying to waddle out of its latest spending stupor and actually help some helpless citizens is really starting to grate on me when I think of all the borrowed money they've just pissed away in recent years.
