Hurricane Katrina and the meaning of September 11...
Like Malloy said, expect Numbnuts to tie the two together tomorrow night...

September 11, 2005 marked the fourth anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in US history, with nearly 3,000 innocent people killed as a consequence of the hijacking of the four airliners that destroyed the twin towers Of the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon. It also marked two weeks since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, causing the worst national disaster in US history and revealing the unpreparedness of the US government at all levels, federal, state, and local, for atragedy that was widely forecast and predicted

According to the official mythodoloy, September 11 "changed everything,"
The policies, methods and structure of the US government had to be radically revised in the light of the terrorist attacks, to prosecute what the Bush administration called it's "global war on terrorism."

1. Sorry - the Katrina mishandling raises my discomfort level
more then anything about 9/11.

See my append

We live right here--->
<>

between the San Andreas and Calaveras/Hayward Faults, in the Guadalupe River-Coyote Creek-Alviso Spill Way in the Red, "VIII-Very Strong" region at the southern tip of SF Bay in the map, and before that we lived in the "Blizzard Belt" and "Tornado Alley" --- and we lived in New Orleans "between Betsy and Camille."

So, Katrina has raised my discomfort level far more then any staged bullhorn show on rubble can lower my disconfort level.
