The good things
From the Washington Times:
"There are some things that actually worked very well," said Mr. Chertoff, who credited the Coast Guard for rescuing nearly 17,000 flood victims. "There are some things that didn't.”
Mr. Chertoff has a point here: There were some things that worked well. However, a lot of people -- myself included -- tend to focus on the negative stuff. I mean, yes, there are thousands of bloated bodies floating through the streets, being eaten by rats, roasting under the Louisiana sun. There are the newborns whose short lives began and ended inside the vile confines of the Superdome. There are the brave souls who tried to leave the city on foot but didn’t make it, their corpses strewn along the highway like human roadkill. And, yes, there are families on rooftops who at this very moment are dying of thirst and starvation awaiting help that will never arrive ...
... wait, I lost my train of thought. Oh right, the good things. What were those again?
