Other Shoe to Drop...
When Katrina hit shore I anticipated it. The deployment of disaster resources to the South and tons more in Iraq left me feeling like the anticipated terror attack was imminent.
Certainly if there were terrorists poised to strike, waiting for an opportunity to inflict massive psychological damage, they would pile on after a natural disaster. I'm really surprised that it didn't happen.
Could it be that there's not a real threat? Could it be that it is an administration-conjured facade to scare us into electing them and supporting their imperial aspirations? Could it be a way for them to convince us to give up our freedoms for security? Is it a way to reconcile the high price of energy and make us look the other way on the massive profits for oil companies?
Hmmmmm.

Barbara Bush:
NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."
...
In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost everyone I’ve talked to wants to move to Houston."
Then she added: "What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed with the hospitality.
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (she chuckled)--this is working very well for them."
