Mississippi was in the direct path of Katrina - it's incredible how much devastation was wrought and yet that fact is hardly mentioned in comparison to NOLA by the MSM.

Duh!

With ALL your tax dollars pouring in there like FLOOD WATER, you bet they'll be shysters scrambling to get it.

The difference is NOLA is a historical major city and the other areas devastated by storms are simply small towns in comparison, even though severely damaged. I live where Rita made a direct hit but we are just a mid size city so no national news.

President Bush traveled to a still-ravaged Gulf Coast Thursday after three months away, promising that a building boom is on its way and encouraging other Americans to visit, too.

You mean Bush has come to the startling realization that promising to pay "whatever it costs," using tax dollars, might just spark a "boom"? Feeding frenzy is more like it. If the final bill is anywhere near $200 billion--if it's less than half a trillion--I'll eat my reeboks, without ketchup.

I guess GWB didn't get my email:

Dear Mr. President,

Move the city of New Orleans to HIGHER GROUND!
Otherwise we are going to be going through the same thing again when a terrorist blows a hole in the levee system.

Semper Fi,
