You know, I still can’t wrap my head around how conservatives latch onto 9/11 that it’s the end-all-be-all of human events and yet have the cujones to make light of similar devastations. Even after the massive fuckups with Iraq, conservatives are still gunning to attack Iran and Syria, but when a storm causes a similar amount of damage and loss of human life, Bush didn’t even change his schedule! The deputy director of the LSU Hurricane Center wasn’t even informed that the levees were breached once the White House found out about it!
