This is not in response to your question per se.
Yesterday I wrote an article for Blogcritics about Katrina
It doesn't matter what I said. Below is a comment response to that post. Just so you know the unreasonable people we're up against.
No, no the local authorities were not the problem. And neither was it the President nor his "Jew" homeland director. The problem that caused all of the breakdowns in communication, and all the ensuing chaos, are people like yourselves, for voting a party into power like the conservatives, and the blame falls also on people like myself, for allowing ignorance and prejudice such as your own to taint logical discourse.
When I read verbiage like the above I go into a state of total despair.
I was listening to a conservative talk show in Boston yesterday. A girl named Tanisha (sounded about 17) called to say the whole problem is that Bush is the devil and that's why the US keeps having such awful things happen and the US won't have any good luck until he's out. (She is apparently even more insane than the guy who called to say Bush is engineering the gas shortage because his family owns about half the oil reserves in the world.)

NEW ORLEANS -- Two more Jefferson Parish officials are being drawn into the corruption probe dubbed Operation Wrinkled Robe, according to a newspaper report.
The Times-Picayune reports that investigators have issued subpoenas to Parish President Aaron Broussard and 24th District Judge Kernan "Skip" Hand.
The story says the subpoenas are related to political donations made by Bail Bonds Unlimited to Hand's campaigns.
Last month, Judge Alan Green was convicted of mail fraud as a result of the ongoing investigation.
He was caught by FBI video surveillance taking an envelope stuffed with money from a Bail Bonds Unlimited employee.
Don't let it bother you there are lots of stupids out there but thank God most don't vote.
