2. These pictures are heart breaking, but at least the U.N. is trying.

Check out the ninth ward in NOLA. It looks the same way it did a week after the dam broke. Not only is Bush & Co. not trying. They just don't give a flying fuck. After all, it's not part of their "base."

And as far as Bush paying attention to Darfur, he probably thinks it's some small town in India that looks like a good source for cheap labor.
