KATRINA V. RITA

[Rista]

Just so all you fuckers know, the reason Bush didn't respond quickly to Katrina has nothing to do with "Oh, it's Louisiana." It had to do with the face that the Louisiana Governor did not declare Louisiana a disaster zone, and thusly the US Government was not LEGALLY ALLOWED to intervene. They responded as quickly as they could have, given the circumstances and given the fact that NO ONE could have justly predicted the magnitude of Katrina.


The reason that the Feds are reacting so quickly to Rita, who hasn't even reached land yet, is because Rick Perry declared Texas a disaster zone on TUESDAY. Even if Rita didn't hit Texas, the Federal Government would be MORE prepared as they would have learnt from past mistakes.



So... SHUT THE FUCK UP. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU HATE TEXAS/TEXANS, BUT WHEN YOU BASH THEM, HAVE A FUCKING JUSTIFIED REASON, DON'T JUST PULL SHIT OUT OF YOUR ASS.



Sorry. Can you tell that I'm getting a lot of shit about being from Texas? People feel like they can bitch to me about their Texas/Bush woes.

Yeah, I'm fed up with all the complaints that people have been throwing around at Bush. There wasn't anything that he could do about it. A majority of those who stayed behind, should've gotten out when they had the chance. 'nuff said.

The total death count thus far, is far below the original ideas. It's 900-1000 from what they reported on NBC the other day.

Uhhhhh I was told that they declared a state of emergency 3 DAYS BEFOER Katrina hit
