Somebody's Gotta Get Rich

When W delivered what could arguably be the worst speech ever during his first announcements about Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, he made sure to cause a panic with the following words:

"Only buy gas if you absolutely need it."

His oil company cronies must have creamed their pants immediately as the two-mile long lines of cars in the the Gulf areas formed.

Consumerwatchdog.org has PDFs of internal memos from oil companies who sought to limit refinery production to deliberately keep oil prices high LONG BEFORE Katrina hit. This is just the icing and sprinkles on the cake.

And now the insurance companies are bending Katrina victims over by refusing to pay out claims because the hurricane caused the damage, not the floods. We have to ask, would there have been a flood without a hurricane? Maybe they should ask Al Roker.
