Bush Takes Responsibility for Blunders
Tuesday September 13, 2005 9:16 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush for the first time took responsibility
Tuesday for federal government mistakes in dealing with Hurricane
Katrina and suggested the calamity raised broader questions about the
government's ability to handle both natural disasters and terror attacks.
``Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all
levels of government,'' Bush said at a joint White House news conference
with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.

New Orleans: A Choose Your Own Adventure (Fiction)

You are an African-American living in a crack house in a New Orleans
slum. You decided to stay and weather out Hurricane Katrina since you
were not sure if you could score crack at any of the evacuation centers.
The windows of the crack house were already boarded up, you had a couple
days worth of rocks and some Fiddy Cent CDs to listen to on a portable
boom box. In addition, most of your fellow crack heads had abandoned the
house, leaving you to rummage through their stuff for stray crack rocks.
You find a couple.
When the worst seems to be over, the levee breaks and water floods into
your crack house. That's okay. You grab your boom box and crack pipe and
run up to the attic. You are lucky and water doesn't reach to the roof
like it does the houses down the block.
