~“The truth of the matter,” Biden said, “is for someone who lost their home, it is Katrina. For some in this shelter, it is Katrina.”
“Folks, we understand. We have a sense of what you're going through,” he said. “We know we can't make everything right. But we know we're going to do everything we can...
to make it all right.

Here we go again!~Since we don't have the luxury of time on our side, let's make sure these fibbers get only one term for theirs.
I find it grotesquely ironic to have Never heard Brad Pitt utter those cursed words, as if Brad Pitt (the unabashedly liberal actor) knows why New Orleans flooded, and yet from our highest elected supposedly progressive officials we get more of the same galling Natural Disaster Misnomer: Katrina did it.
Oh Snap! Sorry Joe, all this time we thought it was the Corps of Engineers that flooded our City and killed over 12oo people with Bad Levees. Hell, they even Admitted to this in open Federal court and several studies --including their own.
While it is common practice to use The Flood of New Orleans as a Fool's Gold Standard for any catastrophe from earthquakes in China to our own Economic Meltdown, I can still understand that it is easier for most people to consider any devastation as "their Katrina", without considering the very human Civil Engineering of their disasters. Take the '08 floods in Iowa for example, where it was not Muskrats and farmers that flooded millions square acres, as Titan's Gerald Galloway of the Corps or Engineers was saying then, but that very same goddamn Corps Engineering of the Mississippi River System levees and dams.
I can even forgive the general public's ignorance of the roll of the Corps of Engineers in their own flood control in building these "systems in name only" which crisscross our entire Nation.
But I cannot accept this Public Relations Medicine Show from The Man Who Could Be President. He should know better.
Once again, before the flood waters have even begun to recede, we have our Federal Government telling us to look elsewhere.
Hey Look Everyone: It's Katrina!
Hey Joe...IT'S THE LEVEES STUPID!

Check it out, as some of these babies think Editilla has misunderestimated Hey Joe Biden's dauntless grasp of these flood survivors' pain, so I ain't got no Compassion! HAHAHAHAHA Whew!
Compassion we got, but what I can't get is No... Sat-Is-Faction!
