1. Yay, Bush. It only took two hurricanes for him to do what every other
president knew how to do from the beginning. I read an article today that Bush was applying what "we had learned from Katrina." We didn't learn anything from Katrina that we hadn't learned from every makor storm since 1820. Bush just didn't bother studying what we already knew before Katrina.

And he's bungling Rita, too. All those supplies he's going to have down in Houston and Galveston where everyone has evacuated will be needed in shelters in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and states further abroad. What he needs most in Houston and Galveston now are National Guard troops on the streets to prevent looting and protect people's lives.

Meanwhile, they've pulled up tents in Mississippi and Louisiana, leaving these regions in need to do Bush's PR response in Texas. The headline of the Sun Herald today was "FORGOTTEN." Places in the rural areas of Mississippi and Louisiana still have no power, and now they will have fewer supplies and assistance, because Bush can't manage more than one catastrophe at a time.
