Disgusting

We weren't planning on posting anymore today, nor were we particularly planning on posting much about New Orleans and the other cities that Katrina destroyed. There are plenty of other outlets that are producing tons of information on this.

But then we read this.

"It doesn't make sense to me," Hastert told the Daily Herald in suburban Chicago in editions published today. "And it's a question that certainly we should ask."

This story comes to us via the New Orleans Times-Picayune, who has been blogging the post-Katrina news regularly for the past few days. Click here for the full story.


Compassionate conservatism in action. We repeat, disgusting.
