People say all sort of shit about how messed up the government is in Singapore but between our government and the lunacy of the system and administration here coordinating the Katrina efforts, I'd rather settle for our government any day.

What I love about this country (Stars and Stripes) is that it gives me the belief that public discourse matters but what I also hate about this country is the level of political sophistication and bickering. Democrat politicians sniping non-stop at the Bush administration instead of trying to help, while Republican politicians focus on converting the Supreme Court to the right-wing instead of trying to help. It's amazing that we needed a comedian to go on Crossfire and point out that all this partisan bickering does jack for everyone.
