Anybody wonder what it would be like if...

...Katrina had made landfall in Corpus Christi or Galveston?

How much cash would already be there?

How gravely would Bush spokesbots on teevee be appealing to sympathetic anchorclones for donations and help?

How much "heartwarming" coverage of daring rescues of little dogs would we be seeing?

Dang Katrina anyway, for not following the plan...

cynically,

1. You are right about the Chimp pleading ...

...and the priority he would have given the situation ... but, I don't think it would change the fact that FEMA and our federal government have nothing even resembling an adequate disaster plan.

2. Honestly, that would have been better for all of us.

Houston and Galveston are much better prepared for this. Lots of storm prep and plenty of ways out of the city. I wish it had hit there. And I say this as a Texan with friends in Houston.

3. As said last night, can you imagine if this

had been a terrorist attack with knowledge of it 2-3 days beforehand? There is no difference, except the obvious inaction of this admin. Homeland INSECURITY!
