I will admit that if some of the folks who drowned in old folks homes had decided to walk, they would be equally dead.

Clearly, the problem is with the black wusses, the poor wusses, the old wusses, the incompetent tourist wusses, and the idiot wusses who died, not with someone who made the decision to dismantle FEMA and apoint incompetent friends of college buddies at the head of the remaining corpse -- not the fault of people who voted that leader in -- and definatly not the fault of that leader. Nobody else but those who "chose" to stay in the city and die should feel responsible. 10s of thousands died, but it was obviously their fault. Those savages, tut tut.

It probably turned out for the best really. 10s of thousands of underproducing souls dead, and many of the others got the opportunity to be refugees in Texas*, where they can become real people.

vautrain, thank you for the very good article.

Actually, Yakk, the official stance may well be, as one Republican stated, that New Olreans istself is to blame. After all, he said, if New Orleans hadn't been built where it was, maybe none of this would have happened. Hard to dispute the truth of that statement... /scratches beard
