hurricanes kill politics

the only joy i'm getting out of all this hurricane business is that it seems untouchable from being politicized. getting people ready for a hurricane is nothing you can squeeze into either a democrat or republican box. it's a human thing, it's beyond politics.

too bad it's only in instances like this that our politicians can get it together and properly prioritize what is really important. there's no time for lengthy debates and filibusters. time to get to business and get results. time for dems and repubs to work together. time for both sides to feel the anguish of sleepless nights fueled by several cups of coffee to keep them going to make sure they can get the best results possible.

and if there's failure, the blame will be shared. it's great to know that when it comes to the possible loss of life that finally there's a form of failure that is too much of a burden for any politician anywhere to bare.

it takes a hurricane to get them all on the same level. and i'm glad that at least in a time of extreme crisis, our politicians are able to act cohesively and effectively. it'd just be nice if they could be this efficient at all times.
