Explanations
That's right, not excuses, explanations:
Nobody in their right mind is going to take loads of gasoline and fuel oil into a city controlled by unfriendly folks carrying automatic weapons. A tank truck loaded with 8,000 gallons of gasoline can produce a very impressive fire...
It took about a week before the "national tragedy/disgrace/incompetence" headlines started to appear, but they're definitely out there now. To which I can only say... "Hello sparky?!? WTF part of 'category 4 hurricane', 'city built in a bowl', and 'interstates floating out to sea' doesn't your retarded mind understand?"
Upset over Andrew I could understand. Those folks were next to a huge airbase, located on tabletop land accessible from both directions by sea. Not to discount the suffering people in Katrina's path are experiencing, but those who have decided to score political points manipulating credulous cabbage-head reporters desperately need a reality check.
A decade ago the blogosphere didn't exist. Maybe now we'll be the ones providing that counterweight.
I haven't read or heard of anyone complaining about lack of gasoline or fuel oil.. Oh perhaps about the pricing here in the heartland How about no water, no food, no one to stop the thugs that were making life even more miserable, no electricity, no communications...should I go on. Also no water pressure to put out fires that were set.

Seriously. NBC let this sort of complete nonsense air as part of a benefit concert. And the media isn't biased?

What's that? He's a rapper, you say. Er, pardon me, an R&B artist.
