THE WEATHER CHANNEL HAS THE ANSWERS! WHEW!

just in time, now that all boat rescue operations have been suspended b/c of the looting, which is the subterfuge for the fact that apparently our federal government is incapable of getting water to the people who are going to start dying soon.

Maybe this is all just the neocon strategy to show how inept the Federal Government is, to pave the road for privatization of every public aid sector.

More "Blindness" reprise for you, too

Doesn't this all seem like some kind of 17th-century scenario? A city slowly but surely flooding, days away from a cholera breakout.

After my NOLA hospital experience, the prison might be better. But, uh, the hospital lost power, so let's send people to OPP?

Hi. I found you through bklyndispatch. I've been in a seething rage at the feds through most of this, since they cut levee funding a year or two ago and now want to wring their hands as if we couldn't have prevented this "act of god."

Mind if I friend you?

I wonder what the fuck happened to all these years of investing into the fucking Homeland Security?... oh, right... never mind...

And a quote form cnn for the road:
“...that the National Guard was coming to evacuate them, but the rescue never materialized...”

Wait a minute? Where the fuck is the National Guard?

Oh, right...never mind...

MOTHERFUCKERS!

It's the Lisbon earthquake. Except these fuckers let it happen. In Lisbon people blamed God. Here we can blame someone real.

you are completely right. It is totally the Lisbon earthquake. We can also blame God-by-proxy, as in why we have a fundamentalist crazy apocalyptic administration.
