Things are Begining to Spin

What a perfect storm of politicizing, posturing and spinning. On the tremendous upside; the calvary has arrived, things are excruciatingly slowly slipping into place. There’s a momentum and rhythm and routine to the relief efforts setting in that means somehow, someway, sometime soon things will be on the path to whatever the new reality that is New Orleans will be. There’s more and more pictures coming out of the zone showing calm, professional behavior and simple human compassion. I’m going to believe it’s genuine but at the same time I’m cynical enough to know that the cameras are in tow as much as possible. Regardless it’s heartening to see and means the world to the victims of this catastrophe. What’s going to happen, I’m afraid, is that the fucking politicians are going to wade in a fuck this thing all over. The Democrats have to be careful not to over play this, the Conservatives are a defensive bunch as it is and the well cry like little girls that the Demo’s are playing politics. If that’s not playing politics I don’t know what is.
