Nobody is calling for anybody's head except that dumb ass mayor in New

Oh yeah? You obviously didn't catch Cigar Dave yesterday (12:00 noon EDT,
970am, Tampa)! He's a conservative, Republican, Bush supporter who was so
hot with criticism he was lit at both ends.

Seriously, a common theme I'm hearing on conservative radio talk shows, as
well as the opinion mongers n the "liberal" mainstream media is that FEMA,
Homeland Security, and everyone up the food chain to POTUS his-very-self,
are ill-prepared and slow to react. This bodes ill for any more
catastrophes, natural or terrorist-made, in the future. I agree with that
assessment.

Truth is I ignore most of the stuff I hear. I do think that people are
way to quick to assess blame. It seems to me that the Mayor and
Governor could have helped prevent some of the tragedies. Don't you
think people need to start helping themselves and quit depending on a
government handout?

I then hear what dion says and I've really got to laugh. She can sing
but she sure can't think. She makes it sound like going to war happens
in a few short minutes. She does not realize that it was months and
months in the planning stages. I think the what has happened in a mere
week is truly a miracle. Can you imagine the logistics involved in the
relief effort?
