Over 3 months after Hurricane Ike hit, 30 miles of trash still lines the Texas coastline. The Associated Press’ Michael Graczyk reported, “alligators and snakes crawl over vast piles of shattered building materials, lawn furniture, trees, boats, tanks of butane and other hazardous substances, thousands of animal carcasses, perhaps even the corpses of people killed by the storm.”

Rachel Maddow reports that only 100 yards of coastline have been cleaned out of the 30 mile debris field. Local officials blame FEMA.

FEMA? No F*cking way!

    • Not too mention the rotting American citizens corpses.
      I am so excited these people are leaving the white house, and too think they were so outraged at Bill Clinton getting a bj. There is a place for in hell for these guys.

    • I love how hush-hush the media has been about the destruction caused by Ike, even blocking reporters from accessing areas after the storm passed. It almost seems like a black-out of coverage.

      I guess after Katrina they didn't want to shine any more light on our government and FEMA's further failure to do what they're supposed to do...

    • Yeah. "Old news" for the corporate media. But new each day for the people who live there. My brother just returned from helping down there with the Red Cross. He was strongly affected.

    • Hey, they've already cleaned-up 300 feet of the mess. It only took three months. So, the remaining 158,100 feet should take them about 1,581 months. Yes, that means the coast will be cleanr of storm debris in a mere 131 years and 8 months.
