I just heard that Congress is cutting its break short and returning early to vote on legislation helping the hurricane's victims. I'd say thats the least they could do.
I don't wanna politicize this but it was also just announced that Bush will be touring the disaster area tomorrow. I don't see how thats going to accomplish anything of real value; in fact by him being there its only going to make things worse by virtue of the security needed to protect him (and taking away police from other more immediate duties).
