Some Katrina Info
The Nielsen Haydens' "Making Light" site has the most comprehensive collection of Katrina information links I've seen, including check-in sites for residents who got out to post to their loved ones. Go here [1] and scroll down, way down, to the appropriate dates.
Jose Marquez just blogged this incredible collection of NOLA spins [2] on his "Outis" site. We love news junkies!
Turns out that NOLA disaster management was privatized recently [3]. Surprisingly, the IEM are reticent about their plans [4].
Columnist Greg Palast makes a plea [5] for a Huey Long-style demo demogogue to arise out of the ... well I was going to say "ashes", but I'll quick-change that to "mud". And I'll second the plea: one democrat with balls, please!
WANNA DO SOMETHING?
Contact the White House [6] and tell Bush and his cronies to get off their asses. Send in the troops, commandeer some Greyhound buses, urge the Governor to declare martial law, etc.
