This article was really informative and logical. It also laid out some REAL solutions to the issues. I was a little taken aback by the source as well but it was very informed.
The reason I thought it was a joke is that everyone and his brother is talking about Katrina. It's the story that will not end. Next, I'm expecting that Sports Illustrated, or Bicycling World will run an article. Maybe Coin Collector Magazine, too.
