and it may not even be exactly about racism and/or classism.

Billmon sez:

The comparison between the TLC showered on Florida last year and Bush's initial "What, me worry?" response to this year's disaster no doubt will go unnoticed by the amnesia patients in the corporate media. And since I'm lucky enough to live in a swing state that is also coveted by GOP political strategists, I probably don't have to worry about it either -- that is, as long as any future disasters around my neck of the woods happen in one of those years divisible by two.

The good news is that they apparently don't yet think they have complete control of counting the votes. I still remind working on paper trails.
