What the hell is going on?

How can this be happening in the United States? Why is the federal government so slow to respond? Why are they blaming the local authorities? What is it about the Bush administration and all of their cronies who would rather pass the buck than actually accept responsibility? Where is the federal leadership? How can conservative right-wingers actually have the gall to blame the poor for not having enough money or resources to leave? Who are these lecherous fucks looting and raping? Where are the soldiers and police force to stop them? Who the fuck is sniping at the hospital? Where is Dick Cheney? Who the fuck cares about Trent Lott's house? Does FEMA chief Michael Brown have his head up his ass, or is he just stupid?

Ray Nagin, mayor of New Orleans: righteous anger.

Not to politicize a catastrophe, but heads better roll for this massive fuckup. Nobody is ever accountable with this administration. Seeing as how the federal government decreased hurricane spending in Louisiana for the last five years, how they wouldn't supply the Army Core of Engineers (who volunteered to strengthen the levees for no cost), and how they colossally failed in their disaster response in all phases (security, food and water, shelter, evacuation, manpower, medical aid), people need to be made examples of.
