Katrina's impact

A few days ago Hurricane Katrina hit the southern United States. It of course has been very devastating for all the people involved. I cannot believe that there are people living (and dying) on the streets in those areas. What's Bush and his crazy government doing about it? Perhaps Bush is still on his 5 week holiday at his ranch in Texas!

The effects of the hurricane have been felt here in New Zealand with petrol now over $1.50 per litre for the first time ever. How can something like this that happened in the States affect petrol prices in NZ - any excuse for the oil companies to put the price if petrol up I guess!!

But on the lighter side. My wife's name is Katrina, so we've had a lot of fun teasing her about this one!
