Even more frustrating is the number of school buses controlled by a black
Mayor that never were put in to evacuation service. The same buses now set
in water and I am sure they will be replaced at taxpayers expense.

As I was somewhat involved in the political debacle, I can tell you from
personal experience that Red Cross and amateur radio vans were prohibited
from entering the disaster area.

My cynical side says that in the background, a chance was both seen and
taken to make George Bush look bad. The democrat political machine in New
Orleans is only surpassed by that of Chicago.

I know for a fact the Red Cross was told that if they were to feed the
people in the superdome they would stay.

Some how I find it ironical that a black mayor applied the same wisdom to
his people that my mother applied to the neighborhood stay dog I attempted
to feed.

Where were all the murdered bodies, in the superdome, the press reported on
so breathlessly?

The must have hid them in Al Capone's vault to make Geraldo look bad; as he
worked for the evil Fox network...

Of course the more the race card is played, the more money is offered by
white America to assuage the implied guilt. Black poloticos have learned
this lesson well!

In light of Colin Powell's position that the fate of the poorer people
of New Orleans was not due to racism, but only failing to realize
that those people had no means for transportation out of the city, it
seems to me that racism and bigotry were not involved. To me it's
significant that that position is held by a highly-respected person of
color.
