New Orleans evacuation under way

Well, it took them a while, but it looks like the machine is running now. I was touched by this quote.

"After a teenager was taken away by police for fighting, Capt. John Pallerre of the Texas Air Force National Guard told the crowd on public address: "We can't have people fighting. I have kids here who are crying and frightened and can't find their parents. Be adults. We're going to get you out of here. It takes a while. I'm not god. If I was, you'd all be home with your family.""

Now, that's leadership. Compare that with Bush's comment on the relief effort "the results are not acceptable." No shit, Oh Great One! You are our illustrious leader!
