HURRICANE IKE and the Rescue Efforts in GALVESTON and HOUSTON TEXAS

OK, coming from Texas and Louisiana, this story is bound to be filled with stupidity as a result of the gene pool alone.

So, the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana was hit by HURRICANE IKE over the weekend. Yes, this is definitely a sad thing. Thousands of homes were damaged by torrential winds, ran and thundering waves. Of course, readers of this blog will know this article is defiantly not about human compassion and understanding. ALTHOUGH I DO FEEL COMPASSION FOR THE INNOCENT WHO LOST THEIR HOMES THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN.

Now onto the meat and guts of this post.

WHAT THE FUCK WERE THESE PEOPLE THINKING!!!!!!

Apparently rescue workers in Texas are now sifting through the Rubble searching for those who refused to evacuate. Say what, people actually wanted to stay behind?? Did they think they could save their house with a bilge pump and fucking ice cream bucket????

Even me, sitting up here in Canada, the land of complacency, could see the signs. Satellite imagery showed HURRICANE IKE totally engulfing the GULF OF MEXICO just a day prior to the hit. The EYE OF THE HURRICANE was obviously heading for the Texas coast and anyone with half a brain should have known it would not:

a: Switch directions and head back to Cuba "Because the are um bad people and God hates dem dere bad peoples"

b: Totally dissipate by the time it hit land.

I read an article this morning and ran into some interesting quotes. Here they are for your amusement and wonder:

"I falled in the attic," Jack told paramedic Stanley Hempstead of his 10-foot tumble through the attic and onto the garage floor.

Grammar aside, what the fuck was he doing in the Attic... High winds people....

"We just didn't think it was going to come up like this," said the boy's father, Lee King. "I'm from New Orleans, I know better. I just didn't think it was going to happen."

Do I really need to comment on this one?


So now to the point of this blog. Honestly, the intent was not to poke fun at the less intelligent.
Texas being the home state of Dubya, Hurricane IKE Rescue efforts are going to be costly. There seems to be more money tossed into the "Rescue the Texan fund" than was spent on Katrina efforts.
What do you think about this?
First of all, the importance placed on this rescue over all others.
Secondly, should the US taxpayer have to be on the hook for rescuing those who refused to follow warnings like "Leave or you will face CERTAIN DEATH." Now how much more serious of a warning do you need?
