what i read today about NOLA/Katrina:

George Bush, Katrina Is Calling

Good news: Gas is moving thru East Coast pipelines again. And people are starting to overcome their shock at the ineptitude of the Feds and take the reins of relief in hand ourselves. Although the rest of the nation can't do much for those still trapped in NOLA itself, we can and are working to help those who have made it out and need food, housing, and jobs. Craigslist, the greater blogosphere, churches, civic groups, small companies, you name it and people are pitching in. Do not brand us all by the failures and greed of our "leadership" and so-called President; we are so much more and better than that. Give what you can, as you can. There's a long road ahead.
