Alternate transportation

Well, since the Libertarian way has taken over and the invisible hand is doing its thing (without lube), my housemate who works downtown sent me the following.

Well, I expect the Marta Parking Lot to be full tomorrow. To help me
out I signed up on the CAC's (Clean Air Campaign) web page as a transit rider and teleworker
last month, and this month they sent me a $25 gift card. I'm back in
the drawing for another, and chances are high that not enough people
know about the CAC yet. If you have friends that are doing things like
car pooling, Marta, or teleworking, they can sign up and be eligible for
$$$. Also people who sign up for Marta can opt for receiving something
like $180 right off the bat, and not have to wait for a drawing.

Favorite Katrina story

I have not confirmed this one, but I just heard a news blurb that Louisiana, were they anticipate thousands dead, is going to pull 1500 police off of search and rescue in order to have them prevent looting.

Yeah, fuck the survivors! Protect the big box retailers!!!

EDIT: Got sent the article:

Okay, I'll add to the chorus

Yeah, I know a lot of other people are saying this right now, but I'll jump on the bandwagon:

What kind of inbred chickenshit would send so much of our military overseas on a quest for personal political brownie points that he cannot use it to mount a credible recovery operation during a natural disaster?

Oh yeah, the inbred chickenshit currently occupying the White House ...

EDIT: Just got sent this far-too-appropriate headline:

Bush: "One of the worst natural disasters"
