Dereliction of Duty

I am working on a couple of thoughts. Like you, it is hard trying to absorb what is going on and not feel so angry that it freezes the blood.

It does not help when the Commander of the Louisianna Nat'l Guard says the 'Big Easy' I was in just three weeks ago is going to look like, "Somalia". HERE

No criticism there, he is abso- frikkin'-lutely right. More later. Our brothers and sisters need mercy. Yesterday. But I want you to keep the title of this post in the back of your mind.
