Quote of the day

Look, it all comes down to this. I believed Obama was the candidate least likely to fly over an American city in the midst of destruction, and appear days later only to tell his point-man he'd done a great job.
- Ta-Nehisi Coates

  1. Hey its his blog, but I don't agree with him on many of his Bush bashing points.

  2. For an AfrAm like Coates, the thing that pissed him off more than anything was the reaction to Katrina. Of course, the reaction at the local level was beyond shabby (the mayor was allegedly holed up in a nice hotel "command center"), but for a disaster like that, the Feds had to get involved. And they f**ked up royally.

    Interesting that Michael Brown has a blog now. Seriously, the fuckups who are humiliated like Brown do tell the most fun stories, if they can be trusted.
