I know hurricanes usually don’t plan to mess with plans of particular people but it is all over the news and the blogshere. The idea that Bush’s plans would be interrupted by Gustav is at least slightly amusing.
There is no better way to make people care for the things that other people go through than to be in their shoes. Three years ago the people of New-Orleans were basically on their own. Not just during Katrina but in the years after.
Some of them are still rebuilding some of them were put off by the Federal Government for much too long.
I have friends that live in the area and the story of their suffering goes far beyond the first month. The Bush administrator is so slow to help that I can’t avoid a small smile hearing that the first day of the convention might belong to Gustav.
BTW it is not a political thing I believe most bureaucracies and red tape organizations react in the same way to people’s need. It just happened to be Bush.
Anyway you can follow the destruction trail of Gustav here.
I agree Irony is a bitch.
The main concern of course is the welfare of the people and the environmental effect. Gustav has already cost lives and caused a lot of destruction so sure the political context is unavoidable but let’s remember the important things too.
