Y'all are gonna get sick of me just saying "thank you" in every other post, so let me try to add just a bit more than that.

From the beginning, I had a bad feeling about this hurricane, but nothing could have prepared me for its aftermath. I didn't watch TV for most of the weekend preceding the hurricane, when it was still a Cat 1. I literally jumped out of bed when I heard that Katrina reached Cat 5. As I watched the coverage, I could just sense how this was different. The forecasters weren't screwing around.

The storm passed and the flooding began. Where was Shrub? People were getting desperate. Where was Shrub? I just sat in stunned disbelief for a week. Even he couldn't be this sorry to just watch people die, I thought. Hell to the yes he could.

What's really disturbed me is that his minions had to make him a DVD so that he can understand the severity of the tragedy. WTF???? What was this DVD called--Catastrophic Hurricanes for Dummies??? It's not like he wasn't briefed beforehand!

But see, folks like National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield actually try to do their jobs to the best of their ability. Shrub couldn't care less. What does he care if he fucks up and people die? Daddy and Mommy are always there to carry his sorry ass.

Presumptuous is the new uppity.
