Guess Who Missed the Bus?
The latest from Russ Vaughn:
Guess Who Missed the Bus? It’s readily
apparent to most of us
The New Orleans mayor missed the bus,
Ordering those with cars to evacuate,
But those without to sit and wait;
To wait for busses that never came,
Never left the lot to Hizzoner’s shame.
Now water swirls around their wheels
While Mr. Mayor squirms and squeals,
And points the finger everywhere,
At others who the blame should bear.
Mr. Mayor needs to show some class
Take his own advice, get off his ass;
Quit blaming others and get to work,
Stop being a finger pointing jerk;
Act like a man, not a whimpering wuss,
Who fell asleep on the job and missed his bus.

Russ, I was just arriving at a VA hospital for tests when you mailed this,
after which I had a three hour drive home, after which I crashed for the day
without even finishing catching up on the news. That gives me the benefit of
another 36 hours or so of fresh information you didn't have when you sent it, so
please don't be insulted when I point out now that Hizzoner isn't the only one
by a long shot that could have handled things a damned site better. Just the
beginning of the things I'd order done if I had the power:
- Lock Mayor Nagin, Governor Blanco and the head of the Louisiana Department
of Homeland Security in a windowless steel 12'x12' box
- Toss in one knife for good measure
- Set the box in the middle of an open square where it's sure to get plenty
of sun
- Throw away the key
Think that's merciless? Actually, I'm being pretty nice. I mean, I didn't
say anything about 'gators, or fire ants, or ....
