Once more unto the breach

Bush's latest visit to New Orleans was a hollow pose, bringing nothing that will actually help rebuild the ruined city.

    Bush May Be An Idiot, But Rebuilding Advocates Are Worse

    Let's face it - NOLA is toast. Read this week's (or last week's) New Yorker - we could rebuild the city now, but it'll be washed away again shortly.

    There's no good reason to waste my tax dollars on this folly. People want to live there? Buy flood insurance, there's no reason the rest of the country should be forced to subsidize their bad choices.
