With this Katrina redux, here's what needs NEVER be forgotten...
...The GOP are trying to undo the Katrina fiasco and crimes this time around.

Read the article below and scream it from the rooftops. We know it, make sure everyone else does too. These are the people who McCain climbed in bed with and who still pull his strings.

Neo-con games with citizens' lives

1. I hope everything goes better this time.
But Katrina can't be undone.

3. And Whose The pReisdent Here?
I agree...there are no Mulligans when thousands have died and many, many more suffered through the corruption that was still plaguing NOLA when I was there last March.

When I visited, I met with many good friends who all had horror stories...mostly of the aftermath. For example, one person who was drowned out of his apartment and finally was able to move back into his place two years later at a rent 3 times what it was pre-Katrina.

Or, I saw a sad report of a near riot at an apartment complex that had a few rentals available and several hundred people showed up to apply and were turned away...the desparation of many of these people were painful to listen to.

And now Commander Huff'nPuff is in charge? Just like Iowa and Georgia? Did we already have an election and none of us were told? And where's the real fukstick who is supposed to be in charge here? He did his photo op and is now hiding in his chicken ranch.

It's not how you look when the storm is going, the measure here is how quickly relief is brought into the area...and not with KBR and Blackwater in charge.

Cheers...
