osewalrus on why I blame the administration for the Katrina disaster. He says a lot of good things here.

This letter, supposedly from the Duke of Wellington in 1812, is a beautifully-written response to bureaucracy. (Link from Dani.) I must cache this now that I work for a more bureaucratic employer.
