Day one of the Republican National Convention was basically cancelled due to Hurricane Gustav making landfall yesterday. It appears like everything in the gulf coast will return to normal quick enough for the convention to get back on track today, but it still kind of ticks me off that the Democrat’s love fest didn’t get interrupted in a similar way.
I’m really glad they evacuated New Orleans, even though the storm was less powerful than expected. Of course, next time everyone will think “it’s not going to be bad, just like last time.” Why do we idiot humans think things can never be worse than last time? It’s almost like we have only the capability to store feelings from ‘the last time.’ Hopefully Katrina was tragic and disastrous enough that it will remind us for at least a generation to not mess with these things.
I’m telling you, the Reps can’t catch a break this year. Even the hurricanes are against them.
