Water Water Everywhere But Not A Drop To Drink by Dr. T

As a self proclaimed "doctor of logic" I've been analyzing the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. The storm had not yet dissipated and already the finger pointing had begun. The Bush haters are blaming him for creating a "natural disaster", which of course bestows upon him super powers, but what the heck. The Dems are blaming the Republicans...predictable....the Republicans are blaming the Dems...also predictable.Throw into the mix every conceivable theory from racism to the wrath of God and you've got the mother of all "blame games". Not to be outdone by the politicos, the Hollywood wackos are also chiming in with outrage about the ineptitude of the federal government. After all, the likes of Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Rosie O'Donnell et al, cetainly know more about evacuation plans and rescues than the National Guard and the Red Cross and the thousands of volunteers who have been living the nightmare that is New Orleans in order to help save lives.

Now believe me, I know that mistakes have been made. There were gaps in communication and precious time was lost. But I believe that the biggest errors were made at the local level. The Mayor and the Governor were caught off sides; clearly there were no plans in place. The bigger issue is the fact that it was never a question of if, but only a question of when a storm of this magnitude would hit the gulf coast. The levies were built to withstand a category three hurricane, so all this talk about reinforcing them is baloney. The fact is that more money has been allocated to Louisiana in the time that President Bush has been in office than has been allocated to any other state in the nation. So....where did the money go????????

How is it that folks in England and folks in the Netherlands have locks 60 ft. high that are designed to detour raging waters and we couldn't conceive of such a plan?

This is what we should be analyzing.
