Obviously it is a few days since he wrote it, but I am glad to be in company with him, my partner in crime. AND yes, he is hard to argue with, he has all the 10 dollar words.
Thank GOD for people like Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera for having the courage to challenge Fox News' corporate playbook and actually tell the truth on live television. The victims of Hurricane Katrina are poor people.
The reason not enough is being done is simply because they are poor people, and this country's bootstraps dogma has long placed the blame for poverty on the impoverished, instead of rightly assigning that blame to a system that guarantees and fosters continued success for the privileged and conversely guarantees continued poverty for the poor.
The chickens have come home to roost, and the whole world can see what decades of greed, selfishness and a palpable absence of compassion have wrought. Nature's fury is only exceeded in its destructive capacity by man's inhumanity to man.

I love that there are so many people in the media who are not taking this lying down. I was watching NBC Nightly News the other day and the news crew was asking the military general in charge why there weren't supplies coming. He said something to the effect of, "WE managed to get supplies sent to us. What about these people?" This was the same guy who, when supplies arrived, rolled up his sleeves and helped pass out water at the hospital, and MREs at the Convention Center.
Your husband is a good, good man to be passing on the message that Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera were trying to convey. This is an outrage, and I hold George W. Bush personally responsible for the thousands of deaths he had the ability and the responsibility to prevent.
