Fuck the lot of them

So much to do and say about New Orleans and the massive destructive of Hurricane Katrina. The very best commentary I have read so far I found via daypop40 in a livejournal:

Cherie Priest says:

And the evacuation was little more than a vague order to get the hell out -- under your own power and at your own expense.

Go. Read the post. She really gets it.

For those people stranded in New Orleans and other cities whose names we do not know yet, this must seem like the end of times. My heart goes out to all of them.
