Having worked Ivan, Dennis, and Katrina recovery projects, I can say that my sympathy for NOLA has dried up and blown away.
Not only that, but with this election, I'll not even make the long weekend excursions that I'd planned, but will spend my money in Biloxi or Destin or PCB instead.
I know people who are still out of their homes after the Ivan/Dennis punch.
But Hollywood and the rest forgot about them after 3 days.
The press on New Orleans hasn't exactly been a good thing for the city. Sometimes, I wish the liberal media would forget about us.
Nonetheless, on your visit to Destin, Biloxi, whereever, drive over and see some of the destruction for yourself. TV doesn't do it justice.
