some mornings go to 11

Well, that was a let-down when it comes to thunderstorms. All thunder, very little storm. Boo on that, I wanted rain. This town could use a good soaking. Especially the part of town in which my dirty, dusty car resides.

And speaking of boo – Super boo on the Bush administration's decision to put Michael Brown - the guy who basically fucked up enough to get himself fired - as head of the committee to find out why FEMA screwed up so badly. On that note, it shouldn't even surprise anyone that Michael Brown places the blame on everyone - including Louisiana officials - but himself.

Brown in his opening statement said he had made several “specific mistakes” in dealing with the storm, and listed two.
One, he said, was not having more media briefings.
As to the other, he said: “I very strongly personally regret that I was unable to persuade Gov. Blanco and Mayor Nagin to sit down, get over their differences, and work together. I just couldn’t pull that off.”

I mean, really. What an ass.
