Dude.

Y'all. This thing in New Orleans is fucked up. People are dying waiting to be rescued. What century is this? What country is this? Where's the goddamn federal government? What kind of half-assed planning is this?

Seriously. I DON'T GET IT. Why isn't the rescue effort moving faster? Why is it taking so bloody long to get help to these people?

Dubya: Katrina is finally gonna wipe that frat-boy smug smirk of a smile off your tanned entitled face. There may be some troops left in the National Guard, but apparently all the equipment is in Iraq fighting your dubious war. There are citizens of this country dying of a lack of water and food while frantically asking for help which isn't arriving. Sit in Washington smirking about this making us stronger. Well, yeah, for people maybe who survive. The people dying out in front of the New Orleans convention center, um, maybe won't.

God, I hate him. I hate this war, I hate that the war is making us unable to take care of our own people. I hate that all of these people are begging for basic necessities of life and asking where is the help? It's been four days -- where is the help?

What about the nurses and doctors at Charity Hospital trying to scrounge diesel for their one generator and ventilate desperately sick patients by hand? Evacuating the patients and hauling them downstairs sending them out and having them shot at by snipers. Then waiting for hours to try again. THEN evacuating again and having them RETURNED later because, um, there's nowhere to take them. Then hauling them back inside and upstairs again. These are patients who have, like, broken backs. I just can't get over how fucked up this is.
