A Rare Admission

Wow! Can this actually be an admission of personal responsibility? "Taking the witness stand Tuesday in the St. Rita's nursing home trial, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said she did everything she could to sound the alarm as Hurricane Katrina bore down on southeast Louisiana two years ago today, but that the government must ultimately rely on the 'individual responsibility' of its residents to heed those warnings." New Orleans has always been corrupt and crime-ridden. These things, and one's personal choices, are things for which Hurricane Katrina cannot be blamed.
