Apocalypse now
"Bush seems determined to show his successors how to holiday through an apocalypse."

"The damage is heartbreaking and just when the victims most need the support of the federal government, they find themselves dependent on one that is least inclined to accept its responsibilities."

"Almost as unbelievable as Katrina itself is the fact that the leader of the free world has been outshone by the elected leaders of a region renowned for governmental ineptitude."

"There's no one in control. No national guard. no police. And certainly no FEMA. Outside the Convention Center, the sidewalks were packed with people without food, water or medical care, and with no sign of law enforcement. Thousands of storm refugees had been assembling outside for days, waiting for buses that did not come." - on CNN.
