Only Big Government Can Save Us From Big Storms, Says The New York Times. Ummm … Really?
30th October 2012
As it so happens, I’ve written on this issue before. So let me lazily quote myself rather than come up with something new. Specifically, I’m pulling from a piece I wrote for the Las Vegas Review-Journal after Hurricane Katrina.
