No need of looter guy because southwest Louisiana is NOT New Orleans. The people here are hardworking, tax paying, honest citizens who get of the way of a Cat 5 storm and then as soon as possible get on with the recovery and rebuilding. They aren't afraid of getting their hands dirty either. ; )

Southwest Louisiana processes much of the nation’s oil and gas, catches a large share of its seafood and exports the nation’s goods to the rest of the world through its ports, Blanco said. I guess when I saw *ports*, I just automatically assumed (blush) NO, what with all the talk about rebuilding the city. I was thinking Nagin; got my people confused.
You're right, NO is not the rest of LA, just as NYC is all of NY. I should know better. I'm constantly hearing that one. If it weren't for NYC, we'd be a red state.
