Seven Sons

What do these two men have in common?

a) they are both governors of the poorest- and third-poorest states in the country, respectively.

b) they are both governors of the two states most devastated by Hurricane Katrina, the most costly storm in U.S. History.

c) they are both refusing aid from the federal government for their poorest residents.

d) they are both aspirants for the Republican nomination for President in 2012 and as such are willing to inflict as much misery on the backs of the poor as necessary to appeal to the Limbaugh-fellating extremists who make up the Republican “base” these days.

Oh, who am I kidding? It’s all of the above, unfortunately.
