@Gatesta:
You're right! You're so right! What was I thinking all of last week when an unpredictable weather pattern near the Gulf of Mexico was developing?
Shame on me for continuing with my daily existence! How pathetic that when I went to the bank people were still working!
How ridiculous that everyone was still going to work and spending their evenings in movie theaters, restaurants and bars when maybe, something, was going to happen several days from then in New Orleans.
The insanity!
You're right... everyone in the country should have stopped what they were doing - before people were formally being evacuated mind you - and waited on pins and needles to see if the storm actually hit land.
Take a look at a calendar Gatesta! New Orleans wasn't destroyed during the DNC and if it is (God forbid) it won't be because of the DNC.
Obama made his speech August 28, 2008 - that's 4 days ago.
Hurricane Gustav landed in Louisiana this morning, September 1, 2008.
