Smooth Move, Ex-Lax

I had written a pretty scathing post about the ineffective bureaucratic bullshit going on down in New Orleans. In retrospect, it was likely fate keeping me from being so hot-headed and hasty that I appeared crazy like that lady in Texas. And the only good to come of Hurricane Katrina is the fact that everyone seems to have forgotten about her stupid ass.

What a fucking crisis. I'd say it couldn't be worse, but just imagine if it had been a god-damned, certifiable, maniacal terrorist attack instead? At least this only incites stupidity at the gas pumps in other cities. What if everyone was fearing for their own life instead because of a disastrous death toll in a large city due to a BFB (Big Fucking Bomb)? It takes four days to get supplies (food and water for survivors I'm talking here) to a disaster area that we knew was going to be ugly several days in advance. Hurricanes don't just show up without warning like a Jihad. How hard would it have been to have supply trucks ready to go only several hours outside of the city when the hurricane made landfall? Only an idiot would have had it already there, sure. You don't want the stuff destroyed as well. But Jesus-titty-fucking-Christ! Four days to get food and water in? People dying in hospitals without running water or electricity several days after the storm? People still trapped on "islands" in the middle of the city? They do have amphibious vehicles and cargo planes designed to drop supplies from the sky don't they?

I'm sorry. I just thought they had a plan after what happened in New York a few years ago. It's good to know we've funded a bureaucracy that stumbles all over itself in the event of an emergency. I just think that you should be ashamed when the Salvation Army can respond faster than our real Army. And screw that lame excuse that they're all in Iraq. I know that isn't true. We've just got some real evidence about how fucking pathetic leadership is across the board when it comes to our government agencies.
