Understood. Parts of Texas and Oklahoma have been declared disaster zones by FEMA.....wildfire....I have seen several blinking signs stating that burn barrels and tossing smokes out the window is verboten. All in all, we fend for ourselves, I've mowed the high grass and watered the lawn...not much else I can do. For some reason, I don't think Louisianans are going to send money to me when the wildfires whip through with 40 MPH winds driving them.....
IMO, the good people of Louisiana and the media have now moved into what we can call the "Woodward & Berstein Defense of Watergate" mode.
You know, no matter what the scandal, Woodward and Bernstein rush to the nearest microphone to declare 'No, this isn't as bad as Watergate,' because, of course, they OWN that and can't have any other scandal (i.e., disaster) co-opt that title.
We're fast approaching that with New Orleans.
