[RC] News from Louisiana - VERY OT - Dyane Smith

Okay, I tried hard to stay out of this, but as a second generation government employee, I have to weigh in here.  The government knew the hurricane was coming and that the levies were vulnerable.  The government knew it better than any profoundly poor person in N.O. knew it.  This was a disaster they did or should have prepared for.  It's not an earthquake or even a terrorist event.  The government knew it was coming.  The government failed...miserably.  Pathetic leadership.
