The Federals final retreat from New Orleans

In a must-read LA Times articles headlined Bush Is in No Hurry on Katrina Recovery we learn that President Bush is retreating from his promise of one month ago to help rebuild the Gulf Coast "quickly", taking instead "a cautious, piecemeal approach that even many members of his own party fear will stall reconstruction and sow economic disarray," the Times report says.

...

One former GOP officials go so far as to openly suggest that the federal government's neglect of the city (and state's) needs is intentional. A blistering editorial in the Palm Beach Post catalogs the government's continuing failure.

It ends with this quote from Ronald Utt, a former Reagan administration aide and Housing and Urban Development official who is now a senior fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation: "This is not incompetence. This is willful." What else could Americans call the president's bold inaction?

I believe the real issue is this: like the federal occupiers of reconstruction, they are finding the pickings to be thin.

1. We are getting FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say we withdraw from the Union and take our OIL with us!
Maybe we declare war on the US, then surrender, then we get an aid package. Maybe the criminals in the WH haven't figured out how to steal yet. Maybe they have and this is part of the plan.

This is some FUCKED UP SHIT.

2. Take the oil and the port

But to succeed, peace would have to be made between NOLA and out cousins in Acadiana. There's always been some racial and sectional tension there that would have to be overcome.

But I think the people of Acadiana have seen how fucked up the current US government is.

Time for a bilingual, independent Louisiana.
