"A sad thing. But the people of NO were the ones who put Blanco and Landrieu in office....."

Yes, in the end we, the citizenry, are ultimately responsible because we elect our leaders.....

NOLA is just one example of a disaster in the making; unfortunately this is being repeated all over the central and south east coast. The coastal regions of NC, SC, and Georgia are growing rapidly....they could easily be the next Gulfport.

It doesn't have to be this way, but we Americans love the water and will continue to build near it unless the underwriting of such foolishness ends....IMHO

"we" doesn't include me. I voted for Jindal and Foster either of whom would be a better person as Gov right now.

We suffer our incompetent leaders down here because usually things just rock along slowly getting better in places, worse in others. We tolerate them because usually inertia works pretty well.

I will predict, and I mean it, that the Gov will be reelected as will Mary. I am the first to say it,,.
