"Guess you missed the hundreds of news reports that explained about those "poor unfortunate people". Apparently many of them are "poor, unforunate people" who could not evacuate. No transportation, no money, etc. It was all over the news before Katrina even hit and since then as well. And of course there's the old folks, hospital patients, and newborn babies. Dang it, guess they just didn't get their acts together."

I will be one to say they were let down. I've seen the pictures of the unused and neatly parked buses. I can see where people are being housed away from the mess NOW. Don't tell me they had not the means to go and nowhere to be. That is BS! This may have to be excused this time but it better not happen again.

Not directed at you personaly, end rant for now.

I'm sure you probably know that I was being sarcastic, but just in case, let me confirm it. :) Also, I don't think every tourist had just flown in for the hurricane. I have heard tourists on television who sounded quite sincere that they were there on vacation (before the big news of a hurricane coming) and couldn't get out due to flights being cancelled.

Actually I was thinking of marshaling together the spell-checkers here and seeing if they wanted to start a petition to impeach the President for mispronunciation.

Lighten up, Francis. We are all in this together. One of these guys might save your life one of these days.

Regrettably, this is coming to a city near you. Be prepared..... make sure you have extra, uhmmm, batteries.
