    Newsweek's Trenchant Hurricane Analysis

    With its crack team of arrows, Newsweek makes sense of this week's natural disaster for you. After the jump, the verdict.

    Ike=Fail.

    "Houston, you have a problem. And so might Bush/McCain. Will FEMA redeema?"

    What? Also, only the hurricane and the Department of the Interior get down arrows. Biden, the Clintons, Obama, Palin, McCain—even 9/11—get sideways arrows. And the arrows point both ways. It seems that if you can't make a judgment using simply an arrow, you're in trouble. Or maybe, the situation is too nuanced and varied to be summed up with an arrow. In which case, go back to words. The Economist doesn't use arrows. The Economist uses words.
