Well done. Makes our case without even mentioning the political games that are being played with people's lives. The only other point to wonder about -- Is this how the feds repay a good neighbor to Katrina victims, a neighbor who opened up its state to those victims, whose citizens had fundraisers to help those victims, whose churches and communities took in those victims when the feds failed to help them too....

The Fed's can't be expected to come running everytime there is a problem. SOmetime the state has to pick up the mess, but how can arkansas handle something like that when people replaced all the experiecned people with his drinking buddies!

Did he take the state plane?

ARK. BLOG: No. He begged a free jet loan from LR tycoon Tom Schueck.

Bashing FEMA is certainly just, but it's also popular, and I think maybe that's why BB is doing it. If only he were so bold as to buck the good ol' boys and religious fanatics that support the Senate's anti-gay adoption bill. In his official portrait, does he have a wet finger sticking up in the air?

I think Womack's adoption bill will be struck down in Court since it excludes blood relatives, so won't hold muster. Perhaps Guv Beebe can save us the expense and veto it. Screw the fundies. They can waste money faster than Bushco.

"who cares"

Probably the citizens of Dumas...
