It’s Time To Get Over Katrina Already
Josh Hawkins over at Townhall.com is a total tool. In an article he said:
Two years after Katrina, everywhere you turn, there are people carping, whining, and kvetching. Just why hasn’t the pity party for the citizens of New Orleans run out of booze and chips yet?
It’s not as if hurricanes are a once a millennium event in the United States. In fact, residents of Florida have so many of them that they don’t even cancel a barbecue for anything under a Category 3.
Moreover, people lose their homes in this country every day of the year. If it isn’t a hurricane, it’s an earthquake. If it isn’t an earthquake, it’s a tornado. If it isn’t a tornado, it’s a fire. If it isn’t a fire, it’s a flood.

But, we’re all supposed to eternally sit around and weep tiny little tears of sadness for the people who really took it on the chin in a hurricane because they chose to live in a city shaped like a soup bowl on the coast. Let me tell all the citizens of New Orleans something that should have been told to them 18 months ago: it’s time to stop playing the sympathy card and get over it.
Memo to Josh. The folks in New Orleans lost their homes cause the levees, maintained by the US Corp of Engineers failed.
