Florida storm

I was sitting with my mother-in-law when footage of Florida came on this morning. Houses with their roofs ripped off were among the happiest of the images. Fortunately, this isn't a Katrina-sized disaster, but coming on the heels of reports that, thanks to the war in Iraq, dwindling National Guard supplies are "seriously hampering the ability of citizen soldiers to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies at home," it is a brutal reminder of how badly this president has deteriorated the safety of our nation.

Perhaps that explains the state's use of "
30 low-risk jail inmates" to help in clean-up.

I'm not sure if Bush truly has complete disregard for anyone but himself and his inner sanctum of twisted rich guys, or if he's an idiot or if somewhere deep down he hates this country because his daddy loved the country more than him.

Not that they're mutually exclusive.
