I might be totally wrong here, but I thought that Homeland Security was supposed to help prevent communication breakdowns like this. The response time has been piss poor on this matter and as I keep reading accounts from city and state officials, it is like the federal goverment doesn't even want to be bothered.

OT - I have offically stopped listening to Coast to Coast AM. They are pinning all this on Russia as they have a "weather control device". WTF? A natural disaster happens and all you can do is get a guest on to sell some books on nutty conspiracy theories? All the while not giving out one number, web site or anything for people to help.

By this argument, we should do absolutely nothing to prepare for dirty bombs, chemical assaults, and any terrorist attack other than plane hijackings.

Yet we can spend $300 billion fighting the oil war while ignoring Al Quaeda. And we can pretend that we are chasing 9/11 terrorists, until that lie crumbles. Then we can pretend that we are stopping a tyrant that poses a risk to us, until that lie crumbles. Then we can pretend that we are building democracy (a damned fool stupid thing to do), until that lie crumbles.

But the message you want to send to the American people is that it doesn't make sense to prepare for likely disasters until after they happen. Nice.

If we truly can't afford it, we have to admit it to ourselves. Fine. But we also have to stop burning money on idiotic shit like the Iraq war and giving subsidies to people who buy SUVs over 6,000 lb (yes we still do this inane crap).

You're misunderstanding. I'm not for this kind of idiot policies, but guess what, it's the way shit usually hits the fan. Gov't has warning, doesn't do shit until things go down the crapper because they're arrogant and stingy.
