Katrina and Perfect Symbolism

From the Department of Absolutely Perfect Symbolism:

I heard on the radio yesterday (9-Sep-05) that FEMA — the government agency which was supposed to deal with horrors and disasters, but which was disemboweled by the Necons and Bushites so they could pump more pork into their secret police qua scam racket known as Homeland Defense — has a webpage for folks trying to get assistance after Katrina.

The kicker?

As of the date of the report, it would only work with Microsoft software. Anyone running anything else is up a sh*t creek with a CENSORed for a paddle.

So, given a choice between genuine competition plus free enterprise, and a vast de facto monopoly . . . well . . . let’s just say that the Bushite heart (not to mention several other organs) belongs to Big Daddy.

  2. Hasn't this been obvious since the Reagan years?

    I mean the DOJ had the opportunity to sanction Microsoft (an OBVIOUS monopoly) but chose not to do it.

    Support open standards, support free and open software, and don't shop at big box stores! :-)
