No kidding. Haley Barbour really has it going here in Mississippi. New Orleans only gets a little backwater from Lake Pontchartrain while the MS Gulf coast gets hit with the equivalent of several atomic blasts, yet Miss. is re-building while New Orleans is slowly dying.

Here in Jackson, Katrina was still Cat-2, and most of the people afterwards simply cleaned up, put the debris out in the front of the house, and let the city take it to the dump. In N.O., there are still dead neighborhoods. On the coast, there's still lots of rebuilding, but we're getting the Hwy. 90 bridges to Ocean springs and Bay St. Louis back up and going.
