Yeah, I know, that's why I asked. I can't believe that even Bush would have played a round of golf yesterday. Given the gumption displayed by even the likes of MSNBC in recent days, I would imagine they would have crucified Bush if took the time to play a round of golf while NO sank into the Gulf.
Counterpunch has an interesting bit on Cuba's response to Hurricane Ivan last year: CAT 5, 1.3 million evacuated, no deaths.
