This is hysterical.

[docwebster]

The entire article is a pretty grim BBC opinion piece about the government's failure in the aftermath of Katrina, but the hysterical part are the responses. Not all the responses are utterly gibbering mad, of course, but this guy is a real prizewinner.

Genties and ladlemen, I give you the comedy stylings of Tracie Dixon from Sand Springs, Oklahoma:

As a proud southern American your article is so far from the truth I don't even now where to begin. What I read is a liberal, European, elitist view of this absolute tragedy. Americans will help each other regardless of colour or social level. As for aid from other nations, I for one say leave it. We can and will rebuild the ravaged areas ourselves.

I must agree with DrDemure right now. It's the people that matter.

Personally, who cares about all this political bullshit and this game of pass the blame right now. People are still out there, hungry, homeless and dying. What could have been done to prevent it is in the past... what's done is done... and next week, it'll still be there... but how many people won't be?

National news can't seem to shut up about who to blame. I watch local news and all they talk about are the people and the pain. Maybe that's because we feel it more. It's close to us. Maybe if Katrina was some kind of terrorist attack then the rest of the nation would seem to care a little bit more.

Perhaps I sound a little bit bitter... well you know what... I am.

if you that that piece above was funny, look at my reply to doc below with a link that a story this morning.... National news isn't the only one pointing fingers, now the Bush Adminstration is pointing fingers at the NO government for not keeping up systems that the feds refused to fund. *shrug* But folks are right, what is done is indeed done.
