Insurgents in America. What a concept.

Governor Blanco was approached 3 months into her term by the State Fire Marshall concerning the state's evacuation and hurricane preparedness plans being deplorable and in need of immediate attention. The Governor FIRED him and her administration took the attitude within the public media that the poor man was nuts and that everything was in order here. The Baton Rouge media tried to apply pressure on the Governor's office after the firing because we knew evacuations in our Gulf cities were shoddy and that there is no such thing as "hurricane preparedness" down here! The governor's response was just like the pretty lip service you are hearing now. I hope all of you noted the bottle-necked disaster throughout our state when the mass evacuation came!
