your posts on politics do not have anything to do with any contested issue. that is the problem. they are scroll-through fluff. everyone on the board that has posted on the subject has agreed that the buses should have been moved to higher ground before the hurricane and/or used to evacuate anyone who otherwise couldn't get out. your posts on the subject are crap that you are forcing us all to wade through in order to find any content. much like the fecal matter lining the streets of New Orleans. the other choice is not to read the PB because the white noise has overpowered the debate of contested issues.
that is my dilemma. and my point, if I must have one.

It goes beyond agreeing the buses should have been moved (that's a no-brainer) and simplifying the issue as you have is either being wilfully ignorant or disengenous. the broader issue is what is the role of the various governmental entities in ensuring disaster preparedness and response. My point has been that the responsibility primarily, up through post-levee breaking was the local authorities and their failure was paramount to the resultant death and human suffering. Ty says he expects the local government to be incompetent and the Fed must take primary responsibility for everything. Over the last three days a lot of interesting information that raises additional questions about the local response and responsibility have come out. I posted them and the response from a certain wing, is generally, so what where was FEMA. Ty continues to respond and say that might be troubling, I would like to know more. But on the Federal side, everyone knows enough know to indict.
The blame Bush message first and frequently on every issue is far more white noise than anything I posted related to nagin's faiulures. That white noise has been going on for 5 years.
