The DEMS care more about the company of lawyers then helping their people.

The environmentalists are too blame...for making sure the
Army Corps of Engineers could not undertake needed projects.

According to Barnett, "Over 30 officers have quit over the last three days" in just one police district: "Out of 160 officers... maybe 55 or 60 are working." Again the comparison with the NYPD comes to the mind unbidden: those who read the recently-released transcripts of 9/11 telephone and radio traffic know how dispatchers phoned off-duty New York officers at home, only to be told again and again by terrified wives and family members that "Lt. So-and-So is already on his way in."

This brings out the "love" side of my love/hate relationship with Gotham. And I, come to think of it, don't really think there's a "hate" side. Frustration maybe, or disappointment at times.

Great find Mia, proving that greatness attracts greatness.

I speak here as someone too broke to own a car: should there be buses on standby for 30,000 people like me throughout the summer in New Orleans?
Busses - what're you talking about, man? Limos. With lavatories. </sarcasm>

(tractor trailers, actually . . .).

<But whether there are excellent reasons for FEMA to pay people and businesses to return to the same places is another question. The agency really has no choice but to underwrite a blind Andrew-style reconstruction effort here, but in the future, actuaries could consider awarding bonuses to swamped residents willing to relocate inland. It might, at any rate, be cheaper than rebuilding New Orleans in its current configuration all over again a second time.<

Excellent suggestion, here. The whole article, though long, is well worth reading.

Good job, Mia, thanks for posting this!
