INEXCUSEABLE

Airdrop the fucking supplies, asshole.....
I finally talked to a friend in Mississippi today. His phone had just been turned on but he and his family are without edible food, no water, no a/c and no lights. I cannot believe that GWB is such a slut that he can't arrange for air drops of water, portable toilets, and those military meals. But he can't. He has no clue. A tale of near total incompetence and improper prioritization. I can't stand to watch the misery on TV any longer, the misery that is increasingly caused by the inept Bush appointees in various places. Air drop the fucking supplies asshole.

Late Add: (45 minutes later) My friend called me on my cell phone to say that his power is now on. I asked about air drops and he started cursing. He said the entire neighborhood (he lives outside of Hattiesburg) would lynch Bush if he showed up because everybody is asking the same thing. Jet fighters are flying around using up gas but no help anywhere. He says the highway 20 is rumored to be open to the east which means food and stuff will be coming up from South Florida (his joke). He is concerned that the food may not get as far south as his home. He is a (no longer) staunch Republican and he isn't going to forget the lack of courage by the military in chickening out over one gunshot, the lack of direction to the military, and the total absence of any National Guard. BTW when the power went on so did his a/c; having that was better than food. There is one gas station pumping gas and that is where he is headed along with a thousand other residents. But food is now the issue. Think, all it would take is for the brain damaged Bush crew to load up a single C-5 Galaxy, which my friend says is the largest transport in the world, one that is capable of handling enough food to feed New Orleans in one load, and just air drop stuff. I looked up the Galaxy and holy shit. But why waste a plane like that saving Americans?

EVEN LATER ADD: My friend says that some food is arriving BUT NO FUCKING WATER, if you can believe it. But at least they can all now boil the bad stuff.
