Yep, Max called on Friday evening to issue a warning, not a demand. In many ways it was a gutsy call, hurricanes are notoriously difficult to call more than 48 hours out. But Max is good. Bush, OTOH, call just minutes before Blanco and Nagin were to have their press conference announcing the ME. Now you might believe that they prepared the plans and wrote their speeches in those few minutes, but... Look, attacking Bush is your way -- it is easier than paying attention to the facts. But it doesn't change the truth -- that is, that Nagin did not act as a responsible local official would have. And had he acted there would have been little basis for criticizing FEMA because the criticism of FEMA has been based, to a great extent, on things that local officials should have handled. It is time for Americans to grow up and be responsible for themselves. Someone cited Gerald Ford's famous line in this connection -- "A government big enough to give us everything we want is a government big enough to take from us everything we have." Maybe you want a government that big. I don't.
