Not Your Fault, Jeb

Unlike his stupid brother that would rather sacrifice national security and destroy his party’s influence before admitting a mistake, Jeb Bush is busy apologizing to all of the Floridiots that didn't bother the prepare for a hurricane. He's claiming culpability for the large lines and short supplies of ice, food and water.

If I'm not mistaken, Hurricane Wilma was spawned from nature about 10 days before ravaging southern Florida. During this time it destroyed two Mexican cities and was the only damn thing on television. Warnings were issued for days, it took forever to get here and the predictions were spot-on for the entire period for once. Every projection, every map, every forecast showed it wacking Cancun and then shooting straight through Naples, FL. It did not disappoint, arriving precisely where expected.

I'm in Florida too, and got my ass kicked by Jeanne and Francis (that sounds so gay) last year so I can comment. We were told to prepare, get ready. Water comes out of that shiny thing in the kitchen by the sink, so it can be stockpiled in anything without a hole. Many foodstuffs can be obtained and stored, not everything has to come out of a bucket or bag. Is the governor or FEMA responsible to put the stuff in your damn cabinet? No. If everyone would simply take care of themselves then the government and FEMA could assist those that are unable to do so (the elderly, the poor) more effectively.

On a positive note, in Everglades County 60% of the homes now have electrical service. That's 10% better than before the storm!

Bottom line, we better get nervous when Republicans are copping to poor performance in areas where WE should be accountable. Now they, like the Democrats, want to guide us from cradle to grave. The problem is, their rules and demands for such protection will be much more scary. Zeig heil.
