First it was "Risk" with real troops,

now it's SimCity with real human lives.

Anyone who's played SC with any degree of competence could have mitigated the damage better than Bush, Brown, and Co.

1. In real life its just a lot harder to click on the fires to put them out

2. Bush...

I really bet he'd suck at "Risk" or "Axis and Allies". Kissinger, however, is known to play "Diplomacy" with anonymous online ID's.

3. I'd say so... Even set on easy mode!

I'll also point out that *no* warning is given before disasters
in SC!

Aside: My proof for the total disregard given the victims of
this disaster.

Thursday evening... (Sept. 1, 2005.

I was scanning around on my satellite radio looking for hurricane
news... I had been getting up-to-date news from AAR and other channels
since early Monday morning.

I came across a "Family" Channel. Naturally, I assumed it had something
to do with Families. But, lo-and-behold is was a cloaked RW channel and
the show was sponsored by those Spongebob haters "Focus-on-the-Family"
themselves. (Which meant there were not one, but, two Rightwing channels
on my satellite radio... The subject of a future hateful rant).

The point of all of this is... I tuned in to see what they were saying.
They said they *didn't* have any Hurricane related shows and they were
going to play some other BS propaganda.

I couldn't BELIEVE it! Thursday night and they still weren't paying
any attention to the hurricane on their supposedly family oriented
channel!

Not only were they *NOT* prepared... They were actively ignoring an
ongoing disaster!

A vision of things to come from the right wing media!
