Ironic that Hurricane Andrew was his fathers undoing as well. Beautiful symetry, no?

Good to see Cuba and Venezula offer to lend the US some doctors and medical supplies. I think our nation should maybe be looking to lend a hand as well (equality and all). The people suffering are, despite living in the states, among the most deprived in the world.

Interesting to hear that the levees were built to withstand a force 3 storm. Katrina was initially force 5 but by the time it reached land it had been down graded to 3 hadn't it?

Also the flood defence system was privatised last year - not sure if thats relevant but privatisation generally results in corners being cut, repairs not being completed as promptly as they should etc.

Oh well, roll on conspiricy theory

I can easily believe that Bush prevented aid. After all, the deep south is hardly reknowned for their pro republican attitude. And as an area, it isn't too reflective of the 'American Dream' now is it?

It'll be funny watching how Georgey tries to justify abandoning hundreds of thousands of people though.

Here's what Dubya's Mommy thinks about it -

"So many of the people in the arenas here, y'know, were under-privileged anyway. This is working very well for them"...

Unbelievable.
