Compensation for Katrina and Bush victims

The Bush Administration paid an average of $1 milion to each of the families of those killed in the 9/11 tragedy. It paid $1,000 to the families of each innocent Afghani the U.S. military killed.

How much will the Bush Administration pay to the families of victims of Hurricane Katrina?

The Bush Administration's hierarchy of human values can be estimated from the swiftness and intensity of its responses. On that basis, the fetus has greatest value. Tied for second place are stem cells and brain-dead young women. Third would be the upper middle class white people such as those killed on 9/11.

We can assume poor black Americans would be rated higher in value than the Afghanis who are close to Bush's chief enemies. However, the plantation may be gone, but the plantation mentality still lives on in many Americans.

Thanks to Hurricane Katrina, we soon will find out what value Bush places on the least fortunate of our wealthy and generous nation. Since the anniversary of 9/11 is next week, no doubt Bush will be doubly generous.
