And worse

Every morning, I get up and flip on the computer hoping to see the day when things start to get better instead of worse. Today is not that day.

NEW ORLEANS — An explosion at a chemical depot jolted residents awake early Friday, illuminating the pre-dawn sky with red and orange flames over a city awash in corpses and under siege from looters. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

New Orleanians have always harbored a tounge-in-cheek illusion that their city was too strange to actually be part of America proper. We never thought that America would take that seriously enough to abandon us in a time like this but that does indeed appear to be what's happened.
Give 'em hell, Ray

"They don't have a clue what's going on down there," Mayor Ray Nagin told WWL-AM Thursday night. "They flew down here one time two days after the doggone event was over with TV cameras, AP reporters, all kind of goddamn - excuse my French everybody in America, but I am pissed."

Did we really need to be reminded in this way that Bush is the worst president ever? An entire city.. horrific numbers of Americans. Poor, sick Americans have to die because Bush doesn't care enough to come back from vacation until two days later.. because we commit resources to conquering Iraq for Texaco. Because we are morally bankrupt enough to just let it happen.
Good motning. I think I'll go make some coffee.
