It never fails to amaze me at how hard, seemingly intelligent people manage to do things, that are so totally, unbelievably stupid, that your head hurts, just thinking about it.
A case in point is New Orleans. Here’s a city that has gone through total hell, in the last 3 weeks. Authorities fought tooth and nail, once they got off their dead asses, to evacuate the entire city. As always, there were some holdouts, many of whom are currently dead.
The Mayor was screaming that FEMA and the Fed’s should get buses in there to get people out.
Now, 3 weeks have passed, most of the city is still under water. The areas that are dry are full of disease, mold, and unsafe structures. Of course, the French Quarter has always been that way, but that’s another story.
So, what does the screaming Mayor do? Encourage people to return to the city. Now, remember the first paragraph. Read it again if you need to. I’ll wait.
Good. You’re back.
Hurricane season is just really beginning, and sure enough, another storm is blowing through the Key’s, looking like it could swing North West.
For youse, without a sense of direction, that would be the same spot Katrina hit.
So, I guess, in a few day’s, were going to hear all those intelligent people (!?!) asking for help evacuating people…..again. And, that’s just the beginning. There are thousands of volunteers and military in the area now. This will, of course, provide yet another photo op for our dear President to roll up his shirt sleeves, and cut some more brush, in Crawford.
God help those poor people. But, that’s what happens to Red States, or so I’ve heard.
