I Wonder

Being the cynical bastard I am, a sick thought popped into my head. There was a bill that passed unanimously and very quickly though the house and senate to fund the relief effort going on in NOLA and surrounding areas.

The thought was... How much pork was passed along with that bill? Does anyone have a copy of the final law that was signed by the President?

The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch
