# You'd be surprised
Texas is still not a Federal disaster.

I'm just sad (and I don't even live there) I wish Bush had helped us out when my house was reduced to matchsticks by Katrina. They're just in it for what they can get.

# Shit. I'm sorry to hear that.
But there's surely a bit of a change from when New Orleans (and other places) were just allowed to be destroyed, and today's thinking over there.
Or are people unaffected by disaster disgruntled at the idea of their tax dollars being spent to save lives elsewhere in the country?

# Yet the World's greatest power ever
lets the fires in Texas burn.

They sent men to the moon, they pulled down the Iron Curtain. A fire should be childsplay. Yet it isn't. A fire in an opponent's house. Who would notice?

# Can you be a bit more specific, with a link or something?
If you'd like to direct some attention to exactly what you're talking about.

# And no!
The same people are in play. My mother-in-law is still waiting for her FEMA grant. The insurance adjuster was run out of their parish by the mayor , who shot him several times in the ass with a shotgun. No charges were ever pursued, because it is legal to take potshots at a thief. I hoppe the people affected have similar remedies. (I mean, the mayor could have reached for his AR-15) (that's an assault rifle for you Brits)

# Wow. If I was shot in the arse even once with a shotgun I don't think I'd be able to run very far.
Are you being satirical, by any chance? Have I been indulging you just because I'm drunk?

# Nope
look it up in a search engine if you don't believe me.

Actually, googling it gives far worse scenarios

# Even the far-right Christian Science Monitor notes:
"the [Texas] state legislature, meanwhile, recently proposed slicing $34 million out of the Texas Forest Service's $109 million biennial budget, with most of the cuts coming from training and equipment grants for volunteer crews who deal with wildfires."

# And so
The people who have their lives destroyed should just burn. Yeah, I totally get that.

# No. People who are suffering should receive help and aid.
There's a screenful of me saying this just up there. ^
What's got into you?

If you don't get paid to do this, you should probably stop now. I'm not a massive right-winger, I just slighted Bush, but I will make anyone who defends any politician look very silly. They are all liars. Obama promised to close Gitmo, he said he withdraw the troops from Iraq (50000 still there) Bush said "No more taxes". You know the rest. You want me to start on the UK liars?

As I said, I need sleep. PM me if you need to be reminded of how corrupt your favorite political embodiment is. Then look at your bank account and ask who sent it to where it is. It's probably just some crazy conspiracy theory!

# Yeah, people pay me to go on a UK-based comedy website and try to gently suggest reason to people who really, really need some sleep.
Send the drones in. Your tin-foil hat will provide the GPS co-ordinates.

# Sorry for the misdirected rant
If there are typos, there is probably a good reason!
