Follow that link to Culture Kitchen and at least look at the pictures. Very instructiive.
What Liza has done is create a visual explanation of why Barack Obama must win this election.

Those pictures show what happened when people who don't believe in government took over our government. People are left without full National Guard protection, and the equipment used by the NG's is in Iraq with them. The levees, which have been neglected since before the Reagan administration, collapsed and FEMA, which was neutered when Homeland Security absorbed it, hasn't done a damned thing to help people stranded without electricity or potable water. Lovely.

And what was the lesson the Bush Junta learned from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina? That they don't have to do a damned thing, and the rest of the country will complain for a few days, but then they'll continue as if nothing ever happened. Some celebrities will do some fundraising, people will languish for months and years waiting for FEMA to do its job and the best any of them will get is a few months in a toxicc trailer.

I want to know why the hell these people haven't been impeached. Every day they are in the White House, people die. Every member of Congress that had the option to vote to impeach and didn't do it has blood on their hands. In some sense, the rest of us do, too.

We can't wait until January to restore some responsibility to government.
