Mississippians can one day look back on this time with justifiable pride. While the resources go to the welfare whiners and snivelers sitting on their duffs in New Orleans, Mississippians will once again show their can-do spirit and self-reliance in the face of adversity as they have always done.

And I must add, of course, Go Dawgs!

I agree with you. The Post went looking for whiners and found remarkably few in Mississippi. However, I think that, when all is said and done (a long time off), most of the people in LA, including most of the people in NO, will turn out to have behaved better than the media has portrayed. I actually think that a lot of the media's chosen villains will look better as time goes on. I will even go so far as to say that FEMA will turn out to have done more good than harm (PLEASE don't kick me off FR for saying that). It's just not possible to have done what we all would have liked to do.
