Random Thoughts

1. The situation in New Orleans that developed after the levee broke and those who tried to help were fired upon is the best argument for gun ownership I can think of. Liberals can stay with the flawed argument that lawlessness is best dealt with by police until pigs fly, but I want my own guns.
2. With a hurricane bearing down on the city of New Orleans one must ask whether it was George Bush's job to evacuate those who were at risk or did that job fall at the mayoral and/or governor level of responsibility? If Osama had blown a hole in one or more of those levees, would the response have been better? I think it would have been.
   
3. "This poor woman who's the governor of Louisiana, and floundering away on TV, she'd be out of her depth even if her city wasn't flooded. There's a level at which at some point, you have to talk about the political authority. When you send in an inadequate police force, to relieve a stadium, where people have gone to take refuge, and instead they're being raped in there, and you send 80 police officers, and the police officers are being beaten back by the rapists, that's a poor political decision." This observation by Mark Steyn pretty much sums up the quality of leadership at the state level.
   
4. They should capture the guys who were shooting at the children's hospital and other relief workers and lock them in the Superdome.
5. After looking at the football scores from yesterday, I imagine Oklahoma and Auburn learned the truth of the old Southern saying:"The sun don't shine on the same dog's ass every day".
   
6. It took a 100 years storm and a Supreme Court Chief Justice death to do it, but it looks like the cable networks will finally let poor Natalee Halloway rest in peace.
