Take whatever idiot they have at the top of whatever agency and give me a better idiot. Give me a caring idiot. Give me a sensitive idiot. Just don't give me the same idiot --- Aaron Broussard - President, Jefferson Parish
A little over a week ago, Katrina roared into the Gulf Coast leveling the city of New Orleans along with several cities, towns and villages on the Lousiana, Mississippi and Alabama coast.
The Federal response has been horribly slow, resulting in further death and destruction. As the politicians in Washington scramble to save their political capital - America knows we are no safer despite assurances.
Major components of the MS and LA National Guard watched the unfolding disaster on television - in Iraq. As their friends and neighbors lost everything, including their lives - our first responders were "spreading democracy and protecting our freedoms", thousands of miles away.
In the days and weeks ahead, surely we will learn the price of the hubris of those in Washington. And it will be counted in grave markers.
