I could rant and I could rave, or I could let two facts - both of which I had heard and not believed until I got direct confirmation - speak for themselves.

1) The Department of Homeland Security is not allowing the Red Cross into New Orleans because Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city.

2) The company already tapped to do the hurricane cleanup is a Halliburton Co. subsidiary that has come under fire for its reconstruction work in Iraq. To be fair, this decision wasn't no-bid and it wasn't made after the hurricane. But it was made all the same, and it smells as bad as the swamp right now.

These aren't local decisions. The response to the mortal peril of American citizens on American soil is blocking the lifesaving groups out of the area and giving millions of dollars of work to the Vice President's company.

I predicted this outcome long before Katrina made landfall.

I hate this administration.

I guess puking on my keyboard would be counterproductive, wouldn't it?
