"W" in N'awlunz

So "W" is going back again--the 11th time--today, to New Orleans.

Wow.

The guy has nerve or is oblivious or was just forced to go, one--or more--of the three.

With what little he and his administration has done for that city and area since Hurricane Katrina, even he's got to be ashamed. Really.

Fortunately, it looks as though his administration is going to be defined, it's thought, by the Iraq War and this under-reaction to Katrina, at the very least. Oh, that and the corruption, you can't forget the corporate corruption and graft.

He's going down, apparently, to tell them to have hope and that better days are coming, according to the speech that's been released to the press.

Hmmm. Is that like the hope his Mom told the citizens of the city were to have, when they were at the Astrodome, just after the flooding? When she said it must be an improvement for them, compared to being safe and warm in their own homes?

Anyway, "W" says 126 BILLION DOLLARS has been invested in the area.

Yeah. From the pictures and video I've seen, most of the city is still destroyed.

It's 2008, for pity's sake.

This should have been taken care of already.

And for "W" to go now, saying they should still "have hope" rings horribly hollow.

I hope he's just bright enough to be embarassed.

Honestly, I doubt it.
