And all the governor of LA did was ask people to pray that the winds diminished.

Four years ago cable television executive C. Ray Nagin quit his high-paying job, gambling that his hard-nosed business sense, bold style and ability to relate to people in his city could save New Orleans from its downward cycle.
At the time, Nagin, a Democrat and a self-made millionaire, bragged that he had no experience in politics and had never depended on the government for work. He jumped into the mayor's race at the last minute because he believed he could rebuild the economy and bring in jobs.
His strategy got him elected.
But since Monday, the man who was so proud of never relying on the government has had to beg for federal help for his city.
Nagin used the same straight-shooting style that helped him get ahead in the business world and win over voters in New Orleans.
=========================
Yup, he's sure a straight-shooting, bold, hard-nosed guy. Blech.
