Anarchy in New Orleans

So, I guess I'll never see New Orleans. Not the New Orleans I wanted to see, that is.

All the pain and suffering and destruction -- maybe not all, but a lot of it -- the result of politicians' wrong bet. The same dumbasses you can find in Venice, Italy, for instance. Betting against the odds. Betting that they won't be the ones in charge the day the shit hit the fan. And really, that's all that matters to them, all that mattered and all that will ever matter. They are all the same everywhere. In France, in Italy, in Russia, in the U.S. All those career-oriented parasites who only believe in science when it means new interesting ways of killing and in common sense when it comes to their public image.

So yeah, of course, it's not their fault if there's a hurricane. But when things goes that bad, they cannot withdraw their responsibility, because that's precisely what there job is all about. Minimizing the casualties of a disaster, and maintaining order.
