Allow Me One Indulgence

There are enough blogs that spout off on politics, and I do not want to add this blog to that mix, but I just read something particularly interesting and wanted to share. It's from today's New York Times :

"Nine days after the United States was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, President Bush stood before a joint session of Congress and rallied the nation to a new mission. On Thursday, nine days after it became apparent that New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Bush stood in an auditorium across the street from the White House and directed storm victims to a Web site and a toll-free telephone number."
