A friend has lost everything in New Orleans. My letter to him follows.
Sorry Jeff.
Really.
You worked hard; you did the right thing, and now the city you loved is finished.
Looks like Bush's chickens are coming home to roost in New Orleans.
My guess...the city's not going to recover from this for years, if at all.
A few million dollars that were diverted from infrastructure improvements (levees, pumps and such) to the war and so-called "Homeland Security", the National Guard at full strength and in total readiness...things would have turned out differently.
Seen what Bush was doing as thousands of people were fighting to survive and millions faced total ruin in terms of their lives and property?

President Bush plays a guitar presented to him by Country Singer Mark Wills, right, backstage following his visit to Naval Base Coronado, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005. Bush visited the base to deliver remarks on V-J Commemoration Day.
Yup.
Tuesday.
Some cheap, shallow, ass licking country music hustler was giving Butch a guitar with the Presidential seal on it.
For all of his good work regarding the country people.
The people of this country.
And other countries.
My disgust for these people knows no bounds. I thought that I could not hate them any more than I already did, but the evil that is resulting from their works is limitless.
They fight a war to continue the availability of cheap oil; the USE of oil as a primary fuel is what is causing global warming, and global warming is what is causing these gigantic storms.
They've hit the TRIFECTA!!! The only rational explanation for their acts and their very being is itself irrational.
That they are doing this ON PURPOSE!!!
Nothing else explains it satisfactorily.
You know all of those "alien invasion" movies?
They had it all wrong.
They're already here.
Good luck, man. I hope everything works out for you and your family.
We are ALL going to need some good luck in the coming months and years.
