Got home. Tail dragging. Just staying awake long enough to make a quick snack so hunger doesn't keep me from sleeping.
Then I hear a tape of an interview on Headline News. Soledad O'Brien talking to a FEMA guy. Trying to get some answers out of him about why it took FEMA so long to, well, do ANYTHING. It took her three or four tries to break through his steamroller script delivery, and when he finally DID answer the question, he laid the blame squarely on Louisiana. "We depend on the states for information." In other words, everyone at FEMA works in isolated cubicles with televisions and radios utterly forbidden, so no one could find out what everyone else already knew. And what the state officials in Louisiana probably didn't think they had to tell FEMA about, since it was ALL OVER EVERY NEWS CHANNEL.
So much for sleep. I'll try anyway, although now that Dubya's on TV I'm gonna have to turn it off....

If you're his accountant, you probably shouldn't be posting about his personal expenditures.
And if you're not, maybe you shouldn't assume someone hasn't donated to a cause because they haven't flogged under their own name.

But he'll be one of many rich people who won't donate a penny. Though I suspect Robert Redford will send me another "Bush is satan, give me your money so I can pad my cause" envelopes like th eone I got earlier in the year, asking me to donate to a charity he likes(yet likely gave a pittance to. Celebs don't like giving up too much cash. It's why the rappers who sing about ghetto life leave when they get rich and never give to the ghetto).
