The Spin vs. The Specific

CNN reports on the difference between what the politicians and bureaucrats say and what information eye-witness accounts provide.

Michael Brown, chief of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff do not come off very well. But, this is no surprise even given the vast scope of this disaster. The truth is just not in their best interest.

The bottom line is that I wouldn't trust any bureaucrat in those circumstances. I am sorry to say it, but wake up kiddies, the government cannot be relied upon. Ol' uncle Sugar cannot handle the responsibility that it has assumed in return for power and your money.
