Oh, not the homes devastated or helping to fish bodies from the effluent-soaked lakes. Nah, we'll let somebody else do that.
Nope, rebuilding a Naval Base. Because god knows at this point in time, we need to make sure we can defend against another attack by nature using the Navy.

And, totally unrelated of course, former FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency, responsible for dealing with this sort of event) director Joe Allbaugh became a lobbyist for KBR (branch of Halliburton) in March this year.
Here's a bit of info on Allbaugh [URL]http://www.dcexaminer.com/articles/2005/03/22/news/d_c_news/02newsdc23kkr.txt[/URL] . Interesting reading, former FEMA Director after being one of Bush's "closest campaign aides".
But of course there is absolutely nothing going on here, nobody lining their pockets and you'd be a terrorist to even consider such.
And on a lighter note, Barbara Bush says that the relocation and evacuation is "working very well for the poor"

I'd be surprised if Bush wasn't offered an honourary role as the most important non-employee to ever work for the Haliburton corporation.
It's times like that you want a leader to get up and be immediately decisive yet rational.

Funny that.
I picked up 'Love all The People' yesterday, I'm about a 3rd of the way through. I've already heard most of the material but appraoching it in literary form doesn't stop it from making me laugh until I have tears running down my face.
"You the guy who's been ordering all those hairy man ass movies?"
So...funding was cut to pay for the war (which has made money for Dubya and his good friends), and now the disaster (which, one could say, might have been less severe had that funding remained in place) and it's subsequent cleanup...is making more money for Dubya and his good friends?
To paraphrase Bill Hicks, just how far does Dubya's todger have to be shoved up the chocpipe of the American people before they realise he's assraping them?
Jesus...The President heads up the inquiry into the p!ss poor response to the disaster (I wonder who WON'T be found culpable...), whilst his business buddies make money off the back of the misery of Americans in addition to the misery of brown people in a faraway land.
If saving lives was profitable, not one person in New Orleans would've died...
