Read it and weep.

Timeline of the Federal Government's response to Katrina

I love it how bush was to be the boss of the investigation about what went wrong.
Impressingly unbiased.

edit:
And then they turned down aid.
Swe had a Hercules ready to takeoff on the 4th with water purification plants & chit. But bush tuned it down since they werent ready to receive anything just yet.
So it didnt lift off until a few days later still.

America's history has yet to deviate.

I haven't reached any goddamn point.

I might reach low point in Polish history, but that's debatable

Polish history cannot go lower

A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of RiceÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‹Å“How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬?

Does anyone else find that funny? One shopper accusing another one of "daring" to shop for shoes?

It's because she's like second in command in the USA. But yeah, it'S funny.

IIRC Rice is the Secretary of State. Even more IIRC, the State Dept. doesn't deal with stuff internal to the country. I'm pretty sure Katrina just ain't her problem.

Yeah, but she should have known shopping for shoes would get her in trouble on a day like that.

It's all propaganda

A matter of information and disinformation.

You'd think the National Security Advisor might care, one way or the other, what happens to her fellow congoids in Louisiana, damnit!

She's not the NSA anymore. She got bumped up to SecState in the 2004 cabinet shuffle when Colin Powell left. You can't really whine about what your government is doing if you're not even paying attention, junior activist man.

Of course this is all Bush's fault, because after the government machinery starts rumbling he's personally in charge of every detail.

I'd also like to argue our low point in history was when we were slaughtering Indians and enslaving blacks, but what do I know?

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:10 pm

heyo, GI-joe!

Enslaving Blacks was good, IMHO.

Who cares about the Indians? They had it coming.

ApTyp · Post by **ApTyp** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:56 pm

Yeah, they took our jobs!
