Earth to SFE: The Louisiana government wasn't USING any of its assets. They let a whole FLEET of busses, there for the purpose of evacuating people if need be, just sit in a parking lot until they were rendered useless by flooding. They didn't mobilize the Guard to help coordinate the evacuation effort- which could have been done well in advance. They didn't even ASK for federal assistance when they knew they would need it- they waited until AFTER the fact, when it was already too late for the federal government to make a speedy response.

Basically, if the NG had been under federal control, shit would have gotten moving a hell of a lot faster, because the feds acted before the locals did- which is fucking pathetic, seeing as how the local government is supposed to bear the immediate responsibility for their state, city, and citizens. No matter how you slice this shitcake, the local government screwed the pooch, THEN went crying to big brother for help.

Whether or not they are allowed to commandeer the national guard is entirely beside the point.


Federalize. The term is FEDERALIZE. Commandeer is what the police do to your car when they need it to pursue a suspect. Federalize is what the federal government does when it assumes control of the National Guard. If you insist on using the wrong term for the wrong action as a political jab, you are going to lose any credibility you might have potentially had. Wait, hold that thought...you didn't have any to begin with. Nevermind. Carry on.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
