Monday must have been a good day
Hugh Hewitt found an article in Newsday telling us that the Chief of Disaster Recovery for the state of Louisiana spoke at a symposium on Monday.Good to know that things are under sufficient control in Louisiana that the state's chief of disaster recovery has time to appear at a symposium in New York. If his judgment is so faulty as to think it made sense to leave the state to attend a panel discussion, is it any wonder that the preparedness effort was so, well, unprepared?
I have a slightly different view. It's part of Bush's plan. There is an old saying that "the productivity lost by every day you take in vacation is more than made up for by the day your boss takes off". This is generally considered true but must be doubly true in a place where senior management is both clearly corrupt and massively incompetent. So my guess is that a lot of progress was made in disaster recovery in Louisiana given his absense. Should we start a vacation fund for the Governor, the N.O. Mayor and some others? One MD-80 full of the "right" people sent to the Bahamas for a couple of months and the whole of the south will be back up and running better than before. (Tongue in cheek for the humorless).
