"You've got to be kidding."
Wish I was. In Somolia, I witnessed some poor creature hobble across a wasteland into Baderra to have a wooden *stake* removed from his foot. So I'm not very sympathetic to the "plight" of America's "poor" during Katrina - spoiled brats is more like it.
As another poster noted, thousands of *real* poor find a way across the Mexican border every year. So how hard can it really be to evac into Baton Rougue.
Simply unbelievable. I remember having cold MRE's that tasted like filet minot, LOL.
