Chris has pointed out another good way to help people in need as a result of Hurricane Katrina's destruction (and our government's incompetent response to it). He has provided information on the needs of the deaf community in the affected area, sharing a message from Bill Prickett, the Superintendent of the Louisiana School for the Deaf.
After reading Mr. Prickett's request for assistance, I plan to send a check (and mark it "For hurricane relief"--an important step, so they're not constrained in how they spend the funds) to the Louisiana School for the Deaf at:
Bill Prickett, Superintendent
Louisiana School for the Deaf
P.O. Box 3074
Baton Rouge, LA 70821
On another note (this about the moron I parenthetically mentioned in the title of this post), I was just watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, as he reviewed video of President Bush failing to respond to the hurricane. Not only was it as pathetic as I'd remembered, but when I once again saw him laughing (LAUGHING!) as he made jokes at the podium when he finally set foot in Louisiana days after the hurricane, I could hear the blood pounding in my ears.
This is beyond politics. This moron thinks this is funny! And he compliments the head of FEMA for the job he's doing? Is he fucking kidding? He should be ashamed of his failure and his administration's failure. Spin this however you want, asshole, you are a pathetic failure. Was 9/11 really not enough of a disaster drill for you?
