Maybe we can send Detroit's mayor down to NO to give Nagin a few tips how to run a city.

Calculating demographic shifts away from Detroit and number of housing units lost in the past 30 years, Detroit will be completely vacant by 2060.

It's the only flood I ever saw where people fled instead of sandbagging the levees. On c-span last night the chairman of the coastal restorationm has only one idea. The feds should pay for it. A journalist sarcastically mentioned Iraq funding. I thought his comparing an American city to a third world country was ironic and sad. They showed a yound mother full of disgust that FEMA didn't take care of her better. 2.9% unemployment in NO, now, an she can't figure out how to get a bus ticket to Atlanta to see her boyfriend. The whole culture is one of sullen dependancy.
