That last post used to be there – or at least it was there long enough for Lee G. to read it & comment; but now it's not. For the record, it simply listed links to Condi Rice's Fifth Avenue Shopping spree and denial of race bias in the White House's bolloxing of the response to Katrina; to some loonie pastor's claim that New Orleans was now "abortion-free, witchcraft-free, etc."; to FEMA director Michael Brown's letting New Orleans' poor know their problems were their own damn fault, because they didn't jump into their SUVs and evacuate when Big Brother told them to; and probably something else. It's impossible to keep up these days – this past week has been such a storm of incompetence and bad spin. Worth noting, however, for anyone who hasn't already noted it, that FEMA director Brown, it turns out, is a political appointee; ie, someone with no discernable interest, experience, or fitness for a position, but who has some sort of personal connection with the Dauphin or his crew. Indeed, Mr. Brown's biggest job before FEMA was as "Judges and Stewards Commissioner" for the International Arabian Horses Association – a job from which he was fired, by the way...
Relax, folks, we're in good hands...

No, there was no post when I commented. I figured it was minimalism, and I didn't have much trouble imagining what events called for obscenities.
