You've got to wonder how much time, money, and effort have been wasted on Mardi Gras prep by city of New Oleans, Parrish Gov't, and State of Louisiana ... time and money that should have been spent on disaster preparedness. Nagin, Blanco et al were obviously laissez-faire and asleep at the wheel, ... they gambled - their constituents lost, ... and the rest of us are having to pay for it.

(But remember - Mardis Gras HQ is NOLA. IMHO, Nagin will be the fall guy.)
