A Louisiana Doctor Speaks
Dr. David Caskey writes from Louisiana. We can't vouch for what he says; all I know is, he's there and we're not:
A lot is going on down here that is not in the news. First, our esteemed governor and the mayor of NO are both idiots. This is the real reason for problems. Second, the NO police force is second only to the mafia in corruption and much of the looting and theft are coming from them as well as their lassitude in doing their job. Third, all Louisiana communities need clothes of any kind. See if your local Salvation Army will send to the shelters throughout the state and blog to give any clothes to the [Salvation] Army. You notice I did not say the Red Cross, they do not have a sizable presence here and are only fishing for money like after 9/11.
Consider it done.

Is there really much corruption in the Mafia? I thought they ran a pretty tight ship. It's a criminal enterprise, to be sure, but I would expect that its members are by and large faithful to those they're supposed to serve.
