Sickening.
Balko writes at the end of his post, “Now’s not the time to score petty political points,” but I don
’t see how mentioning the massive misallocation of tax dollars that left New Orleans defenseless is a
petty political point. Who’s scoring petty political points? I dunno – maybe Fox News anchors
screeching that the French are enjoying our misery. Maybe another key MBT SPORT SHOES constituency
proclaiming that New Orleans is suffering because God hates fags. (Surely you’re not surprised by this
group’s allies.)
But a frank discussion of the opportunity costs of imperialism? Under the current circumstances, only a
nation of imbeciles would avoid it.
When are Americans going to begin asking the obvious question: “Is this how the much-vaunted Homeland
Security Department handles a real disaster?”

helicopter, an ambulance official overseeing the operation said. No immediate injuries were reported.
