~The main levee which broke was the only levee recently modernised with federal funds.
~Sensible Americans of all races will be more concerned by trite, cynical and dangerous political opportunism.

Two tidbits which stood out as I read this great column which makes lots of sense. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for the ping, Dan. Really a great article.

My favorite point wasn't even political, but linguistic:

As the full horror of this sinks in, thousands of desperate columnist are asking how a civilised city can descend into anarchy.

The answer is that only a civilised city can descend into anarchy.

I'm glad that Newton Emerson's column cuts through the Bravo Sierra of the Left in regards the Left's complaints about President Bush's response to this horrible tragedy.
