HAHAHAHA!!! I love Paul Krugmen's comment about Jindal and the Volcano
http://www.adn.com/news/politics/story/702875.html

Several online commentators, like New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, questioned why the governor of a state that depends so much on federally funded hurricane watching would criticize spending federal dollars to safeguard other Americans against volcano eruptions. "The intellectual incoherence is stunning," Krugman wrote.

2. Mor than his ignorance but the hypocrisy of it all
This man's state benefits from Hurricane warnings. I mean how many people would have died in the various Hurricanes that have swept thru Louisanna had there been no advance warning systems?

Of course it helps to have a government that actually heeds them unlike Bush and Katrina

6. NOLA/Katrina was one of Bushies MONUMENTAL FAILUREs
That he had to see a video of the damage/suffering on THURSDAY...3 days AFTER the FLOODING...was INEXCUSABLE....the Military came on FRIDAY......no diapers, no toilet paper, no water, no food for 4 days

Bodies everywhere

Looting

Crime....

3. Poor lil bobby
got thoroughly skewered in today's New Orleans Times-Picayune. By local columnists and letters to the editor alike.

Oh yeah, all those hurricane hunters that fly out of Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi (70 miles east of NOLA) to track hurricanes. We don't need em, just wack em out of the budget.

8. Well stated
especially since scientists are currently monitoring a volcano near Anchorage, AK that could blow at any time.
