So today Michael Brown blamed the governor, mayor, media, Office of Homeland Security, Santa Claus, and a variety of corpses for the failures of the government post Hurricane Katrina. Now yes, he is technically correct that there is blame to go all around, but what kind of leader steps in, says ” I know what I’m doing, and I think I do a pretty darn good job of it” and then proceeds to lay blame at others feet. He’s a Bush style leader - it’s never your fault even in view of overwhelming evidence otherwise. Brown: “My biggest mistake was not recognizing by Saturday that Louisiana was dysfunctional,” two days before the storm hit, Brown said. What a fucking cop-out - that’s how you answer interview questions: “My biggest fault is working to hard.”
My friend Grace summed it up: “the enitre band of thugs known as Republicans is the biggest bunch of pussies I have ever seen”
Sphere: Related ContentOstensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

Louisiana is dysfunctional …I know some people who live there..the government is doing and does way to much for people who are not deserving. Where can I stand for my free handout?
