Politicians gonna politic, and the Pope is still Catholic.

Only one of the "sides", at least in theory, is in control of all the branches of government, and thus should probably be doing something with that power... like, perhaps governing?

Responding adequately to a predictable natural disaster counts as governing, right?

Do you have a good sense as to how disaster relief is going? I sure as hell don't. I also have no idea just how hard it is to do.

Maybe, relative to other disaster relief it's going really well? Maybe it's terrible. I sure as hell can't tell from what the media is saying (probably because they don't know either).

Truth, as usual, is whichever flavor you pick off the menu.
