[quote:Katrina Again 977776:MV8xMTAzODExXzE3NjE5OTE5X0M4NkJEMTc2] Remember when evil ass Walmart had trucks full of supplies waiting to get into New Orleans after Katrina and the Feds wouldn't let them in. When are we finally going to realize that a central government incapable of reacting properly to any situation and we should go back to city-states. IMO [/quote]

Fucking rediculous...
As an ex Coastie, this really pisses me off..
Eight days ago, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal ordered barges to begin vacuuming crude oil out of his state's oil-soaked waters. Today, against the governor's wishes, those barges sat idle, even as more oil flowed toward the Louisiana shore.
Towns along the coast are through waiting for the government?s help. "It's the most frustrating thing," the Republican governor said today in Buras, La. "Literally, yesterday morning we found out that they were halting all of these barges."
But the Coast Guard ordered the stoppage because of reasons that Jindal found frustrating.
The Coast Guard needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and then it had trouble contacting the people who built the barges.
Un fucking believable...
