New Orleans, Part 2

Someone raised a concern regarding me previous post about how odd it seemed of me, as someone who has been doing a lot of Bush bashing to suddenly say, "You should listen to the government".

Trying to imply that the NWS is anything like the White House (or even has a poitical agenda, for that matter) is just absurd.
