Texas Flood
I was watching CNN yesterday and they did a piece on some ex-Marine in Texas who lives in a very rural area where he and his neighbors have been without electricity, fuel, or means of communication since hurricane Rita. They are also running low on food and are basically in desperate need of everything. He got so disgusted with the lack of assistance he wrote a text message on his cell phone and climbed a tree so he could get enough reception to send it. CNN got ahold of the message and drove out there to speak with him. When the reporters arrived he said he was "pissed as hell" and when asked what he would do if President Bush was here he said "I'd take him and show him everything around here then I’d kick him square in the butt and we’d sit down and drink a beer.”
