More post-hurricane meanness

How nasty do right-wing politicians have to get to compensate for their own many failures?

Kevin Davis, a Republican, is the parish president (sort of like a county mayor) of St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. That's the ultraconservative bailiwick where Mountain Dew got spilled down inside a TV set in a hotel room during my vacation last year. There's lots of Allowed Clouds in that parish.

Anyway, Davis decreed today that any hurricane survivors who are still living in FEMA or other trailers come August 30 are going to start facing penalties. He's giving them less than 2 months to find other housing.

Hey, why don't you leave 'em alone, will ya, Kevin?! Damn. There's nothing worse than spoiled, whiny politicians like Kevin Davis complaining about those who are less fortunate than them having it too easy.

It sounds to me like Davis also don't know much about math, calendars, or neither. He said that his "early announcement" provides hurricane victims with "3 months to complete the work on their homes or make alternative housing plans." Um, no. It's less than 2 months.

If you want to talk about someone with a sense of entitlement, it's these right-wing "leaders."
