every hurricane has a silver lining. the people down there did elect a new governor. the people of new orleans were too stupid to elect a new mayor though. yes, i said too stupid.
the people of that democrat utopia (40 years of democrat control) had plenty of warning and they did nothing and all we have heard is 3 years of whining and moaning about what the bush admin did not do. that same hurricane beat the hell out of mississippi and you do not hear a peep out of those people. the people of florida have handled hurricanes as long as i can remember and you don't get what came out of new orleans.
like i said some of these post makes me want to just puke.
