HRH Bush II
Who, looked at another way, is George III. (And the last time we had a George III as head of state, revolting things happened.)

Heard other rumors that somewhere over half the Louisiana National Guard is not available for disaster duty 'cause they're slogging through the sand dunes of Mesopotamia....
Not quite that bad, at least per the AP:
Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita said the states have adequate National Guard units to handle the hurricane needs, with at least 60 percent of the guard available in each state. He said about 6,500 National Guard troops were available in Louisiana, about 7,000 troops in Mississippi, nearly 10,000 in Alabama, and about 8,200 in Florida.
