I don’t get it. I know the images of Katrina’s after math have had a profound effect on me, and my mood has been dark. I, like everyone, wish more could be done faster – but that monster storm ravaged 90,000 square miles and effected millions of people, their homes, businesses and communities. So I […]

You want to know how completely out of touch the left is? We have a disaster in Lousianna, Mississippi and Alabama which unfortunately occured nearly four years to the day after our last massive national tragedy. And the political ghouls on the left have this as their call to America: [hat tip Redstate] Time to […]

CNN just ran an interview with George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, who are going out to repeat their efforts to bring in much needed donations for the Katrina survivors. But those low-life, self absorbed reporters at CNN cannot help but flame dissent during our nation’s dark hours. What’s-her-name Malveaux [Suzanne], who admits she has […]

In the following post I made it clear that the political right was more than capable of making a statement that would make the situation worse regarding Katrina’s damage. I had a comment in mind, and I was not the only one who saw it at NRO. Jonah Goldberg made a comment that was flip […]

We know one thing; Katrina will live in the American psyche and history books for as long as there is an America. As we ponder a city under water and being evacuated of its inhabitants, it is clear there is a huge effort in front of us. And we are being measured. A single person […]

The wife and I were discussing this last night, since it was clear then people would be homeless for months. A fear now confirmed. Big Kudos to Bill Hennessy for setting this up. Homes For Katrina […]

Tragically this is not surprising news at the DrudgeReport. The Mayor of New Orleans has released a statement that hundreds to thousands have died in New Orleans from Katrina. Given this is a city of roughly 450,000, and 20% remained behind, that means 90,000 people were possibly in the path of the storm. The largest […]

In the back of my mind I have been wondering if we are seeing the end of a modern city due to natures ebbs and flows. It has been surprising to me that no major human outpost established 100+ years ago has succumbed in the last 100 years. Nature is moving underneath us, despite our […]

For the latest, and most devastating, from New Orleans go here. This is the site of local news as it breaks. For instance, Governor Blanco visited the Superdome and found conditions so bad she ordered its evacuation. Even though the New Orleans Mayor stated people there (they are not refugees) could be there a week. […]

Here is a news video from a New Orleans news outlet where their reporters are taking video of the flooding. Then this guy flies by in his car and runs full speed into the flood waters. He is then saved by the news crew. What was this guy thinking? And there is more serious damage […]
