Here's something interesting re: the Propagandist's 8/27 declaration on Federal Emergency Assistance for Louisiana:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/08/20050827-1.htmlNotice any parishes missing?The President's action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the parishes of Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Claiborne, Catahoula, Concordia, De Soto, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Franklin, Grant, Jackson, LaSalle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Pointe Coupee, Ouachita, Rapides, Red River, Richland, Sabine, St. Helena, St. Landry, Tensas, Union, Vernon, Webster, West Carroll, West Feliciana, and Winn.
Like, say, oh, I don't know: Orleans, St. Bernard, Jefferson, etc.?
Let me guess... all the "blue" counties.
Edit: Don't see any apparent correlation to voting history, but these are the parrishes (said counties earlier, whoops) that would've been hit hardest by the storm.
WTF?
You think perhaps that these are the parrishes that were not directly hit by the storm and flood and ones that suffered less damage? Further, would you suspect that the real reason these parrishes are given benefits is because they are taking refugees and aiding the parrishes that were severely hit? Would you suspect that these parrishes are covered by other authorities than New Orleans? Did you check the status of indirectly hit counties in Mississippi and Alaqbama? Answer: No, because a through search for the truth wouldn't further your Bush bashing agenda.
Get some facts and come back.
