The people of New Orleans can breath a sigh of relief.
August 28th, 2006 at 11:54 amtim sez:
Can they? Many of them are still waiting for assistance, a year after the event. If Florida gets hit with a natural disaster, which state do you think will get more help? (Hint: Who’s the governor of Florida?)
If Florida gets hit, even less aid will be available to Louisiana than before. Plus, if Dubya & Company make themselves look sufficiently busy during this latest disaster, they will be able to successfully sell the impression that they ‘learned the hard lesson of Katrina’…even while the victims of Katrina are studiously ignored by the administration.
August 28th, 2006 at 12:06 pmWhile I am obviously concerned about the residents of Florida (and other US areas that might get hit), does anyone know if this storm is going to pass over Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO)? If so, are the prisoners housed inside sturdy buildings or outside in fenced-off areas. I’m just concerned that we are treating our illegally-detained prisoners humanely.
August 28th, 2006 at 12:28 pmwhen asked for a comment, the president said “there was no way of knowing florida was going to get hit by hurricane ernesto.”
August 28th, 2006 at 12:53 pmIf Ernesto does indeed hit Florida and does a lot of damage, cleanup will start immediately. FEMA will be on hand in droves handing out thousands of dollars so people can move inland and obtain housing. No FEMA trailers for Floridians.
Jeb Bush is the brother of Georgie, and Georgie will see to it that FEMA is activated TODAY and well armed to handle any devastation.
Count on it. Cheney, as President Pro Tem, has already given his approval from his secret bunker. What he said remains a secret because he dont want the terrist to hear his words.
I hope that all of Amurka realizes that Bush is just one heart beat away from the presidency.

August 28th, 2006 at 1:54 pmFor cripes sake! How many more BILLIONS do we have to pour into that septic tank of LA.? Where did all that loot go for all these years? Why didn’t they reinforce those levees years ago instead of having the spoils go to all the “leaders” of that hell hole. The history of corruption and fraud is legend, and I am sick of all the whining and moaning about “were’s my assistance”.
I live in AZ. by choice, where’s my “assistance” for My A/C bill? Maybe if they didn’t get “assistance” they would get up off of their fat asses and do something besides breed to get more “assistance”.
If they are waiting for aid then their beef is with the LOCAL government. The feds sent the money to them and that is how it ALWAYS works. I forgot to add: WAAAAAHHH!!!!! There feel better?
August 28th, 2006 at 6:56 pmYou guys just don’t get how silly you look everytime you hype up one of these storms just to have it peter out on you.
August 28th, 2006 at 8:42 pmBye, Ernesto!
