T-Mobile Offers Relief for Hurricane Victims

lilrowdy18 writes "Eweek reports that T-Mobile is offering free Wi-Fi to areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. This relief will be free until Sept 2 and an evaluation will be done to see if it will continue after that. The hot spots are only available to residents of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi and does not include phone service. The article also includes a link to a map of T-Mobile hotspots. At least we can use some form of communication to get in touch with loved ones."

    But the lake was breached because Herr Bushenführer diverted funds from necessary levee and dyke work in those states to the war in Iraq. Well, that is what several news sources are stating, and it seems to be correct.

    Oh, did Bush, knowing he would be required because of the scale of this hurricane, leave his umpteenth holiday as President of the United States of Abused-citizens BEFORE this happened? No. It's like 9/11 all over again, isn't it, although we may give him the benefit of the doubt as to knowing it will happen beforehand there, it's not as if the FBI and NSA weren't all over it beforehand?

    In the meantime, Bush's friends celebrate as oil hits $70 ... $80 a barrel.

    Disclaimer: I think that Bush is a retarded grabber of monkey's butts, so my viewpoint is liable to a slight slant, but you might not detect it because I am fair and even handed with a person's record.
