It's Saturday, my wife is at her class, I need to get to work, but I'm watching Weekend at Bernie's. This movie cracks me up. The guys who star in it remind me of Ross and Chandler from Friends. Not the *actors* - the actual fictional characters seem similar. What's up with that?

Last night, we went out with another couple - a woman from my program and her husband. We had Mexican, and went to some cool joint in Bucktown (Margie's I think?) for ice cream. It was really good. Though, I didn't feel so great by the end of the night: something I ate did not agree with me.

So, this hurricane business is *terrible.* I have nothing really to add except that. frown

Though, this response is less than inspiring. As it has been said, it raises serious questions about what we'll do in, ya know, an actual terrorist attack. Now, I'm not alarmist. I understand it takes time to make a plan, to move supplies, and so on. But this response just seems like a mess: if for no other reason than even the *official* disaster relief sites (like the Superdome) had NO information on what was going on. This seems piss poor. I'm watching on CNN right now: part of the problem is they had to rescue people before they could feed them. Why did they have to rescue them? Oh - because no one *helped to evacuate the poor people* (who lacked the resources to up and run). Le sigh.

What's happening in New Orleans right now is, sadly, just a starker relief of how fucked our urban centers are everywhere, every day.

This is what Kayne West thinks about the whole state of things. I'm pissed. It's freakin' ridiculuous, talk about breaking the social contract.

I'm surprised I didn't think of bouncing this off you earlier: do you think that if more politicians spoke the way Mayor Nagin did vis--vis the federal response that political participation might increase?
