Hurricanes, Hurricanes Everywhere …

This whole weather calamity is depressing and the contribution of human failure is very irritating. The people of New Orleans have not been well served by their public officials, from the Federal level on down, and deserve better.
One of the things we’ve had the misfortune to learn through all this is that the reorganisation creating the Department of Homeland Security did not add to the security of the state. These guys couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag. Let’s hope those in the corridors of power are paying attention and put some effort into doing their jobs properly. They’re certainly being paid the big bucks, let’s get some value from our hard earned tax dollars.
