Was Katrina the last straw or was it inevitible?

It was both. It was inevitable because it was stark evidence of the effects of global warming, which the neocons have deliberately ignored for more than 20 years since it would cut down on the precious profit margins for a few dozen corporate executives.

It was the last straw since it revealed (again) the utter incompetence of Bush and his administration, and showed the world (again) the twin poisons of racism and classism that infect our national psyche. Even Anne Coulter, one of Bush's most relentless and shameless cheerleaders is beginning to dismiss Bush as an idiot. The remaining Republican attack dogs criticisms of anyone who deigned to think for themselves and see through all this bull shit are sounding whiny and disingenuous. Blaming the corruption of the local and state officials of Louisiana does NOT alleviate the responsibility of the federal government, or the incompetence of Bush cronies like Michael Brown. We are nation divided against itself and we the people are being compelled to take action by leading ourselves and our communities since it is obvious our leaders cannot and will not lead.
