I have never been to New Orleans, but my son has, and he intensely disliked the city. His job took him to some of the non-tourist areas of the city, and he told me the abysmal conditions in the poorer neighborhoods.

I really didn't know HOW bad until the last few days, when I have been seeing those shacks that people were living in (and I presume were rentals...another disgrace). It looked like Haiti.

Now, I ask myself, how can a city allow such deplorable conditions? In Indianapolis, homes like those are declared public health hazards and condemned.

I want to know where all the money came from for the Stadiums, casinos, etc. And I want to know where all the Homeland Security money the feds sent them wwent. I know $500,000 went to Wesley Clark and James Lee Witt's consulting company.

I think the FBI should take over the New Orleans city hall, for starters, before too many records are destroyed.

WHat I'd like to know is who were the landlords of those homes in NOLA and how much HUD money were they receiving? If my friend is correct Blanco's family is involved.

So James Lee Witt, Bill and President Clinton's bud, had a $500,000 evacuation plan but didn't use it?
