Katrina aftermath 2
It's hard to know if things are improving fast enough, but at least everyone's attention is focused. With the black caucus and NAACP making noise about the poor not being important enough, and the mayor of New Orleans complaining about the lack of busses and slow response time, this picture of buses underwater on September 1 is rather...interesting (via drudge). It's easy to just blame the feds...
David Frum has a good round up making the (unfortunately necessary point) that everything isn't W's fault. And here is the comforter in chief on a tour. Oh, and we are trying to do our part, which is really good to see. Even if we aren't exactly speedy...

I'm still in favour of mass dumping disposable diapers all over the city - forget sandbags - that jelly in diapers can hold something like 10 times it's volume in water...
Also, did you see the interview with the mayor of New Orleans... boy does he say it straight (http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/02/nagin.transcript/index.html)

I'm actually not impressed at all. It's his police force that either deserted or is involved in the looting. It's his responsibility for a city built below sea level to be prepared for huricanes.
Why are all those buses under water? It's easy and natural to blame everyone else, especially the feds, but I don't think he is living up to his responsibility.
