Cool.
I decided to read the forums on my ISP (I don't think they're available to people who don't subscribe to the ISP) to see what people were saying about the Katrina disaster. Usually when I go to these forums, if there's anything political, there are more people who come out of the woodwork to praise Bush than there are who'll critisize anything the government does, and I was expecting more of the same. Um...people actually seem really pissed off. I knew that people I know in real life were pissed off at the government, but they're always pissed off at the government. But these people online who are usually talking about how wonderful Bush is are now talking about how fucking aweful the government response has been, etc. Maybe it's just somewhat different people than usually post, or maybe (I'm hopeing) people are opening their eyes to how incompetant and evil the Bush administration is. Maybe.
I did a google news search to see if there were recent polls of his approval rating, but the last such poll was published on wednesday, and I suspect that it was taken before the disaster became a total fucking disaster. And even then Bush's approval ratings were at an all time low.
I hope I don't sound insensitive. I'm really pissed off about how the government has been handling the disaster (and how they've handled everything else, especially that fucking war) and my heart goes out to all the people who've been hurt, or had their homes destroyed, or lost their families, etc. It's so soo horrible. I wish there was more that I could do.
Sorry to be such a downer. Fuck. |
