Katrina syndrome

Okay; I'm sick of it already! I'm sick of this "Katrina syndrome" that controls every aspect of society these days!

You know what I'm talking about!

The public backlash (well, not so much the PUBLIC backlash as it was feigned outrage from the media and the Hollywood elite!) that ensued after the supposedly botched rescue effort after Katrina has generated an out and out FEAR of a similar fate for any public official who seemingly fails to effectively respond to a forthcoming public problem.

Katrina syndrome is why we evacuated 10 times more vehicles than the highways around Houston can handle when Rita hit Port Arthur, doing little or no damage at all in the Houston area! Katrina syndrome is why we're having this stupid knee-jerk panic about this swine flu outbreak! Nobody wants to be the director of FEMA when the levees break!

Uhhh....it's the flu, for crying out loud! If it were an Ebola outbreak, I'd say it's time to close the borders. If it was an airborne form of HIV, I'd be the first in line for a mask! IT'S THE FREAKIN' FLU!!!!

Like any other flu, be it bird or swine, or just good old regular flu, it's hazardous to the very young, the very old, and people with compromised immune systems, NOT the public at large!

Thanks, whiny liberal media and Hollywood elite! Do you see what your finger-pointing and vilification of FEMA has done? Now, EVERYTHING is a crisis!

Idiots!
