...for which there was plenty of notice.

We have had hurricanes before, and we have had a Federal agency whose task it was to support the locals in the recovery from a massive storm. Did anyone not know Katrina was huge before it hit the Gulf coast? No.

We are still reading about freaking trailer parks here.

You think there was a planned political response to a terrorist attack that was adapted to a hurricane??? If Our Leaders had done their #&@%ing job, there would have been no need to respond to anything, and they would have been heroes. Is it outside the realm of imagination that outrage over such dumb behavior in the face of human suffering by people we pay to know better and act promptly could possibly be spontaneous and unrehearsed? Or are "spontaneous" and "unrehearsed" still recognized adjectives in the Respunlican Party?

And the Right calls the Left paranoid... Where on Earth do you get this stuff?
