Forgotten, but not yet gone

2 months ago, it took weeks to turn the electricity back on in Houston after Hurricane Ike made landfall.   However, 2 months later, many are still reeling in the aftermath of the storm.   

Another tragic example of an administration unable to take care of its own citizens, particularly those in the most need after natural disasters.  But yeah, let's keep shelling out billions for executives who create disasters.  

In other news, Houston doesn't have electricity and is operating on a curfew.

I understand that we're nearing the second coming of the Great Depression on Wall Street, but it would be nice if we could return electricity to the nation's fourth-largest city and bail out AIG at the same time.

Oh, and clearing Galveston of sewage would be nice, too:

"We have a blossoming health and medical concern," said Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas... (A) medical officer warned of emerging cases of diarrhea, dehydration and food poisoning.

Thoughts and prayers with the people of the Gulf Coast.
