System Failure

More on the Katrina video from Greg Saunders from This Modern World:

The miserable, uninspired blogger who hasn't written anything interesting in a month side of me wants to write off this latest bombshell with a pithy line like "go ahead and throw this in the corner with the other smoking guns", but this really hit a nerve with me...

It's times like these when I wish we had a parlimentary system of government. In most other democracies, a fuck-up that big would be quickly followed by a "no confidence" vote and new elections. In the USA, the aggressively incompetent leaders who get us into one catastrophe after another are allowed to stay and screw up the reconstruction process as well. So for the next three years, we're stuck with the same assholes who got us into this mess, unless we can convince enough members of Congress that criminal negligence that contributed to the deaths of hundreds of people isa "high crime" or "misdemeanor".
