AUSTIN, Texas -- Like many of you who love New Orleans, I find myself taking short mental walks there today, turning a familiar corner, glimpsing a favorite scene, square or vista. And worrying about the beloved friends and the city, and how they are now.
To use a fine Southern word, it's tacky to start playing the blame game before the dead are even counted. It is not too soon, however, to make a point that needs to be hammered home again and again, and that is that government policies have real consequences in people's lives.
This is not "just politics" or blaming for political advantage. This is about the real consequences of what governments do and do not do about their responsibilities. And about who winds up paying the price for those policies.
This is a column for everyone in the path of Hurricane Katrina who ever said, "I'm sorry, I'm just not interested in politics," or, "There's nothing I can do about it," or, "Eh, they're all crooks anyway."

Opinions anyone?...other than the expected eye-rolling and gagging sounds you'll resort to while reading Molly's column.
I thought she never passed up the opportunity for a double cheeseburger.
"I find myself taking short mental walks"
And then she is worn out and needs to sit down and rest.
Well, ol' Molly certainly knows about high winds caused by hot air, so why not? Why I wonder does any paper continue to carry this lunatic's ravings?
Tow the old windbag to New Orleans and let her blow the place dry...
More 'fun' from Mo Do Junior.
The moonbats have been let out of their caves again. This feels so familiar, Just 9 months into GWB's first term we had the terrorist attack, and now 9 months into his 2nd term we have Katrina..after both horrible events the Bush haters come out in droves to play the Blame Game. It's all so crazy ..and of spooky.
I've been watching a show on the National Geographic Channel. It was about the California earthquake in 1989. It was Bush's fault.
How far are her wind sprints, 10 feet?
She uses a discredited argument and ignores the Mayor and Governor completely. Another liberal puke.
Stop - Read no further...
Short mental walks are the only kind Molly gets to take!
With a small pick-up in front...Wide Load.
Gawd, man, did you have to post a photo? Urrrp.
Liberals always telegraph their punches. Of course it is, Molly, and nothing but.
The Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) is a huge Molly Ivins fan. Her columns appear on a regular basis.
Other than the fact she's a Texas liberal (like her colleague Jim Hightower), I've never been able to figure out her level of rage for George Bush. She sounded like this when Bush was still governor of Texas!
Don't you think Quasimodo would be more than a little pi$$ed at being associated with Molly Ivins?
I think you may owe him an apology.
I traditionally make mooing noises in response to Molly's columns, but at this moment, on this topic, I'm not in the mood for her crap. That bovine tub of lard needs to just go away.
