The Katrina Song Is Out.

Speaking of Katrina , which is hardly a very current event at this time, but, I did a kick out of the U.S. press and others blaming the President for the mess while overlooking the fact that the Mayor of New Orleans sent tens of thousands of people to a sports arena and both he and his Police Chief failed to send any Police protection to the site. The Police Chief resigned, the Mayor should join him.

"Speaking of Katrina , which is hardly a very current event at this time"

I just got back from 12 days in Slidell, Louisiana (across the lake from N.O.), and believe me, this IS this a current event. It looks like a war zone there. City officials estimate that after "the dust settles" (and there's literally toxic dust everywhere), the city's population will be one-quarter of what it was. This is because many homes must be torn down and just let return to green areas due to mold, etc. and lack of funds for rebuilding. Right now, there are lots of volunteers and FEMA people (and MANY security guards) so the economy is having a boomlet (for instance, fast food places are offering big bonuses to workers, since everyone's moved away). But it is a sad, sad place. I saw a sign that said "We Shoot Looters--Please Try Me." I didn't even go into New Orleans because I was advised that it is still too dangerous. The army has left, the National Guard is leaving, and the police force isn't up to par yet. This IS a current event, and please let's not forget about it just because other news stories have wiped it from our short memories.


I don't mean to be preachy, but this is true.
