Plantation politics

..wif de strawboss callin' all de shots. I don't know if mayor ("We need 500 buses, man!"
Nagin is the sorriest creature NO has elected, rather doubt it looking at the previous "honorables". That ultimate whiny pissant chief of po-lice broke me up on the morning news. Where DO those folk find such people? I wonder if they have staffers trailing behind them with poop-scoops and baggies?

A couple of nights ago the local news was commenting on what Florida was doing to assist the 170,000 displaced school children. 170,000 kids that probably rode the school busses to and from school each day. That's a lot of taxpayer maintained transportation right there. Seems a bit short-sighted not to have used it during the 3 daze prior to the below-sea-level city getting clobbered. (change "short-sighted" to "criminal"). Judging from the various news photos, I rather imagine most of those vehicles will be scrapped, especially if they've been sitting in salt water.

On election day, they were driven to the polls...On evacuation day, they had to fend for themselves. Call for evac after the airport and public transport was shut down? Huh?

Kinda curious about the possible "10,000 dead" headlines. NO had a population of less than a half million. Last year Florida, population 17,000,000+, was hammered with 4 nut-busters and the FEMA cumultive death toll was 116. Gee, do you think maybe Florida has a tad better gummit than that jackass that calls herself governor and the dawg's hind legs that "run" NO?

Looters? Face it folks, 40 years of the "Great Society" and it's a Mogadishu mentality. Wasn't much better before (might actually be an improvement from the last time I was in NO). There is sure way to stop looting. Comes in many calibers. I'm personally fond of the 7.9 mm Mauser for long range work, 12 ga. double-ought for closer stuff. And yes, that lump in my pants might mean I'm happy to see ya. It could also mean you might not be happy to see me if you've got dishonorable feelings on your mind. Been assaulted one too many times, watched the fuckers walk away every time through the "judicial" system. October is going to be a fine time in Florida.

And no, it isn't race. Never has been. It's culture. Be it islam, rap, or liberal politics, any "culture" that doesn't respect human dignity doesn't deserve to exist. I don't personally give a lentil bean fart what anyone else does, there is just one basic rule: do not harm others. Liberal politics is the most insidious of the listed lot; "you can't help your poor, ignorant self so we are going to do it all for you". Works like a charm.

Speaking of charm, GUYK has several excellent posts up on this Katrina fiasco. He writes good stuff. He also linked to a fella that calls himself Mostly Cajun who has a lot of good stuff posted. The links go to the home sites, scroll, read, get enlightened.

This is a rather amusing image:

The big 'un, plus a lot of other interesting data is available at Tropical Cyclone Climatology.

And yes, I was a class one cross-patch last Sunday. After the Saturday unloading and stowing of all the GOOD STUFF, went to check what the status of various "stuff" down here in the swamp was in relation to what might be needed in the event Katrina decided to change directions. Slathered from toes to tits in SSS to avoid the eight-legged Florida State Bird, got satisfied all was well outside with lots of spare time. Woke up not long after hitting my clean sheet & clean pillows with an itch. A whole family of ticks had taken residence on the back side of my right shoulder, from blade to hairline. Spent about an hour dislodging and burning those little lawyers. Woke up with the usual reactions plus a major case of grumpyness knowing what was going to come. It did. In spades. Probably brushed a low limb jus' chock-full-o Democrats! ;o)

Just in (for me)

Came as a cut and paste email from a friend, looked the writer up.

An Unnatural Disaster by Robert Tracinski.

Go read it. Yeah, that includes you as well you little snot-nose.

Comments:
Good stuff. The Unnatural Disaster is right on except for one thing. I spent a couple of hours peering over the New Orleans Disaster preparedness planI found on line. I have written a bunch of these things and modified a bunch more when I was in the military. The only place I could see fault was a need for a better coordination for a place to send the people evacuated. It all point right back to the gotdam mayor who didn't follow the plan. He waited too late and then wentinto either panic or a case of the fuckin stupids! I am still waiting for an answer from the Tampa Tribune on why they have not seen fit to publish the AP picture of the flooded school buses that I e-mailed them. No MSM that I have seen has shown the picture because if they do it will mean they can't bash bush for it. Every blogger ought to be showing this damn picture every day. In fact I think I will post it againfirst thing in the morning. It is proof of how incompetent the mayor was. he should be sho and dismembered and his body parts hung over a gate to the city to remind people not be be stupid!
 
By the way! I forgot to thank you for the link! Thanks. Hope you get to writin' a little more often. I am going outin the morning to see if the tidal surge did much damage to the Old town Homosassa piers. may get some pictures if the weather is not too cloudy.
