>I don't consider myself a member of any political party. As Chris Rock has stated, on some issues I'm conservative, on some I'm more liberal. I like to look at the issue and make a decision.

FWIW. I heard from someone, I think it was Bob Williams, president of the Evergreen Freedom Foundation, a free market public policy research organization in Olympia, say that whatever money LA authorities did receive from the federal gov't were not used for fortifying the levies. Lot of the funds, earmarked for the levies, some how were used for things like building gambling casinos and other "special" projects.

Yeah so you're right. There's plenty of blame to go around. But in this case, I think it should start with the state and local authorities.

You don't have to use Chris Rock's (of all people) name to justify your political stance. It very obvious which way you lean. Be proud. :=)

Chris Rock nuetral? ... uh maybe, but his hate for Bush runs deep.
