Executive Presumption

“I presume that we are in pretty good shape. I think our location in the world is such that we may be less vulnerable than other parts, but I am not a geologist, as you know,” Bush told reporters in Crawford, Texas.*

Heck of a presumption, really. Actually, we’re only covered by half. If you’re on the west coast, you’re covered. For those of us on or near the east coast, well … our proposed tsunami warning center is still just an item on the agenda.

    Best thing about living in Manhattan, if I’ve got a 20 minute warning before a tsunami hits I’ve only got time to make it to my bar. Which may or may not be waterproof. Hopefully I’ll never have to find out.
