Perfect timing, George

8:03 p.m. I was all geared up to watch Survivor, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO...you waited two whole weeks to make this all-important speech, and had to do it tonight. Thanks, George. That's fine. I'll enjoy this "live" blogging.

8:04 p.m. You should be an actor. Why didn't you show this much sympathy and concern two weeks ago? Oh, that's right...because you didn't feel sympathy and concern. I'm curious to see if you'll offer anything that sounds like an apology.

8:06 "Trade is starting to return to the port of New Orleans", and you say oil is returning. What you're most concerned about, early on.

"Our first concern is meeting the immediate needs" of those who had to leave their homes...??? Oh really? Sure didn't seem that way a couple of weeks ago.

"Contact FEMA or the Red Cross" if you need help. Um, George, what about the people who don't have their phones back yet? And what of those who don't even have electricity or working TVs to hear this?

8:14 I want to believe these promises of more attention to poverty, offering hope for the poor and disadvantaged evacuees to have a life even better than they had before they left. How can I trust you? How can we? You've disappointed me so much this time, I don't know if it's possible.

8:21 "I as President am responsible for the problem. And the solution." Not bad. I sincerely mean that. Could have been closer to an actual apology, but not bad.

But it may be too little, too late.

And forgive me for being shallow, but Survivor had better start from the beginning, and not in the middle.

I couldn't even bring myself to watch this because I get SO ANGRY everytime I see or hear that man. I've banned him from my household because he makes me yell and want to throw things.

Found this site doing a search for tea and chai. I owned Indonique, a teashop in New Olreans. We're relying on our new web site as sole source of income until rebuilding (looks unlikely). If you'd like to help New Orleans, patronize a New Orleans business when you can.
Thanks,
George Constance, www.indonique.blogspot.com
