The seer speaketh
Sep. 2nd, 2005 07:11 amGeorge W Bush on ABC last night.
"I don't think anyone anticipated a breach of the levees. They did anticipate a serious storm, but those levees got breached".
Birks blog on Sunday, 18 hours before Katrina hit New Orleans.
[New Orleans is] seriously in danger of a kind of flooded and destroyed fucked that we haven't seen in a major US city since San Francisco in 1906. Most of this will be because of flooding (the famous Katrina Waves....) that, if the levees break, will move through a city that for various reasons was built mainly below sea level.
Clearly he has the wrong advisers....

Although George W doesn't read this blog (but should), it appears sometimes that the rest of the world does. No sooner do I say that I might just spend the month bonus hunting, when Party offers me 30% bonus up to $200, possibly in addition to the regular monthly reload bonus. Bastards.
And then, just when I admit that I am a horrible risk-averse coward when it comes to potentially life-changing decisions, my ex-boss telephones me, tells me that he is going back into business (he sold up his old business to the company for whom I currently work nearly five years ago), and asks me to join him in his "new venture". And I start worrying about reward-to-risk ratios, etc etc. We're having lunch next week, so I'll see what he wants to offer and what he has in mind. But, stick-in-the mud that I am, I can see myself staying here.
