If we are undermining the president with critism, he should be about 6 feet under by now.
So he's setting new record low polling numbers, and Pat Fitzgerald hasn't even done his thing yet. This could get horrendous. Chimpy's not one to resign in disgrace, as an horable man would, having failed so completely.

Kind of like Bush has in the past 12 days.
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruisèd arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarums chang'd to merry meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
Grim-visag'd war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;
And now,—instead of mounting barbèd steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,—
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
But I,—that am not shap'd for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deform'd, unfinish'd, sent before my time
Into this breathing world scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;—
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun,
And descant on mine own deformity:
And therefore,—since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,—
I am determinèd to prove a villain,
And hate the idle pleasures of these days....

There are physicians and nurses here who are complaining about our vaccinating everybody for Hepatitis A. They keep quoting CDC studies that show that only the most heavily exposed personnel are at risk. I finally told one of them to shut up for a simple reason. No study has ever looked at the impact of filling a city of 500,000 with shit and corpses. This is an event unparalleled in the history of public health. I am tired of hearing about studies that can't begin to apply to a toxic event of this scale. Personally, I think everyone in the area should be vaccinated for Hepatitis A & B, and those with the most exposure should get the hyperimmune globulin (lay term, "gamma globulin"). My proof? None. My reason? Common damn sense.
Go Otter, go!

The federal disaster response plan hinges on transportation and communication, but National Guard officials in Louisiana and Mississippi had no contingency plan if they were disrupted; they had only one satellite phone for the entire Mississippi coast, because the others were in Iraq.

This makes no sense, as integrity is an intrinsic characteristic. One has it or not - it cannot be "deserved".
For instructional purposes, other examples of intrinsic characteristics would be literacy, intelligence, and decency. Work on it.

I agree that the king doesn't know what others think of him, but I believe he cares deeply. That's why he surrounds himself with loyalists who would sooner become poor than speak ill of his eminence.

Missing police feared dead
JULIE CART, EDWIN CHEN AND SCOTT GOLD
SPECIAL TO THE STAR
NEW ORLEANS—Hundreds of police officers are missing and many may be dead because of Hurricane Katrina, says a top police official.
Deputy Police Superintendent Warren Riley said about 700 of the city's 1,600 police officers were told to stay home until the storm passed so that they would be available to be deployed wherever needed.
Between 400 and 500 officers remained unaccounted for yesterday and many were feared dead, although Riley said some probably walked away from the job.
He declined to speculate about how many officers might have perished: "One is too many.''
"We don't know how many officers are dead," he said. "We don't know how many officers drowned. That's a fear of ours.''
The city continued its evacuation yesterday, with officials trying to convince the thousands of residents who were refusing to leave that the city was too dangerous for them to remain. If the stragglers insist on staying, they will be forcibly evacuated, officials said.
Rescuers scoured ravaged neighbourhoods of clapboard houses, grand estates and housing projects to find corpses and persuade the city's last stubborn residents to leave.
"Some are finally saying, `I've had enough,'" said Michael Keegan of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "They're getting dehydrated. They are running out of food."
Across a flooded city where as many as 10,000 holdouts were believed to be stubbornly staying put, police made it clear in orders barked from front porches and through closed doors that they would return.
Police Superintendent Eddie Compass said officers soon would begin entering houses and removing resisters.
"We're going to be respectful," he said. "We understand it is a dramatic experience, and we're going to handle it that way. We are very sensitive to the needs of our community.''
The orders to evacuate came as Congress swiftly approved $51.8 billion (U.S.) in relief for the devastated Gulf Coast, bringing the total so far to more than $62 billion. Federal officials now assume their share of the relief and cleanup will top $100 billion.
As a Mexican military convoy rolled across the Texas border with relief supplies, Louisiana officials were praising Canadians for their swift response.
State Senator Walter Boasso called a Vancouver search and rescue team that arrived days before the U.S. Army, "Fabulous, fabulous guys" and pointedly asked why it took "seven days to get the army in."
The front page of yesterday's Times-Picayune, the New Orleans paper now publishing from Baton Rouge, bluntly warned the diehards: "Clear out or else." Its website trumpeted: "25,000 body bags."
Police said they were 80 per cent done with their scan of the city for voluntary evacuees, after which they planned to begin carrying out Mayor Ray Nagin's order to forcibly remove remaining residents from a city filled with disease-carrying water, broken gas lines and rotting corpses. The job of carrying out the mayor's order rests largely with the 1,000 or so remaining members of New Orleans' beleaguered police force.(snip)

If your parents were alcoholics, you must have come from the lower middle class. The higher strata of society represent the perfection of virtue.
