Maybe you're smelling politics because you're starting to fling it. How can you say you're a local-supporting libertarian when the only entity you defend is the POTUS and you go out of your way to bash Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin? Blanco and Nagin already had hurricane and flood plans - they were tested in 2004 in a tabletop exercise named "Hurricane Pam". The plans were implemented with the disaster declaration referenced in my earlier post. By Sunday the evacuation was thought to be nearly complete. Hence there is no proof that the plan wasn't followed, as you claim.

Further, I'd like to see some proof that POTUS convinced Governor Blanco to evacute, as you insinuate in your previous post. Evacuation was part of the 2004 "Huricane Pam" exercise referenced earlier in this post. Are you also going to claim that POTUS convinced her to evacuate during the exercise, too?

On a lighter note, Ellie was kind enough to make me a sausage, pepper and fresh mozz sandwich on home-baked bread. I'm glad I got to enjoy it before the Red Cross called. I'm on "two-hour notice" to manage the shelter they're opening for up to 500 refugees here. If I'm not blogging much it will due to humanitarian commitments. My feelings on this topic are strong and based on personal experience. I've avoided conflict here before, but on this topic I will not tolerate injustice.
