Horses are faster than Humvees

I know Bush already claimed responsibility and we're all supposed to stop talking about how the G response was pitiful. I just read an article that makes the gubmen look really, really bad.

Men riding horses rode south from Canada, beating helicopters, humvees, or any other motoized transport from any of the nearby military bases. As the St. Bernard Parish sheriff put it, "The Canadians can show up, but the Department of Defense can't get to St. Bernard Parish?"

Those Canadian Mounties deserve high praise.

P.S. Hmmm.....wait, they're closing those nearby bases, aren't they? Maybe they'll change their mind and leave a few more bases open in states besides Texas and Florida for situations just like this.
