Gotta love the Onion
I feel that the Onion has done a better job summing up my frustration with the whole New Orleans fiasco than I ever could. I admit I don't read it as often as I should, but between the Onion http://www.theonion.com/content/node/40305 and last night's episode of the Daily Show, which proves that Jon Stewart is still the best social commentator around -- much better than any half-assed CNN or MSNBC pundit -- I finally felt like someone out there was giving a voice to all the anger and frustration that I've felt over the past week as I watched the disaster unfold.

Government relief workers mosey in to help
NEW ORLEANS—Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael Brown, leading a detachment of 7,500 relief workers, moseyed on down to New Orleans Monday afternoon. "Well, I do declare, it's my job to see if any of these poor folks need any old thing," Brown said from his command rocker on the command post porch, adding, "Mighty hot day, ain't it?" Follow-up teams of emergency relief workers are expected to begin ambling into the Gulf Coast region as early as this weekend.
As well as my personal favorite, titled "Bush encourages survivors to chew on own boostraps for sustenance"
WASHINGTON, DC—In an emergency White House address Sunday, President Bush urged all people dying from several days without food and water in New Orleans to "tap into the American entrepreneurial spirit" and gnaw on their own bootstraps for sustenance. "Government handouts are not the answer," Bush said. "I believe in smaller government, which is why I have drastically cut welfare and levee upkeep. I encourage you poor folks to fill yourself up on your own bootstraps. Buckle down, and tear at them like a starving animal."
