In Exile: Two lists, a few heroes and no sleep

It's true that I am delirious, but I'm pretty sure that George Bush made nature the enemy in one of his speeches. Not everything is either ally or enemy. Lying in bed this morning, not sleeping, I worried that George Bush might get wind of the butterfly effect -- the idea that a butterfly flapping its wings in China can create a hurricane in the Gulf. His response would be to invade China to kill all the enemy butterflies.

Evacuees are grateful for help. We still reserve the right to critique our country. Plucking people from their homes is not to be applauded; it is to be expected. The people doing the plucking are heroes. The policemen and firemen are heroes. The government making these decisions is ours, and ours to criticize. George Bush and FEMA are our employees, and can be fired for criminal inaction.
