This is wrenching. This is fucking shameful.
Also, this is the least of anyone's worries, but if I hear one more politician (such as presidents Bush, Clinton, and Bush) say this scenario was unforseeable, I'm going to cave in my own skull and turn my head inside out. Oh, I'd say it was definitely forseeable. In fact it was forseen, as recently as the day before the flooding.
Not that pointing that out changes a damn thing now.
Oh, and hey, this smaller-government thing works just great, doesn't it? Like a fucking charm, it does.
Fuck.
