Can someone tell me why Crappy'Doo Katrina Journalism from 5 years ago gets recycled today with new dates?
~Officials from President Bush down to Marc Morial, a former mayor of New Orleans, said the impact of Katrina was worse than that of the 11 September attacks on New York, and so required an even more energetic response. "So many of the people who did not evacuate could not evacuate, for whatever reason," said Mr Morial. "They are people who are African-American, mostly but not completely, and people who were of little or limited economic means. They are the folks, we've got to get them out of there."

Suit filed over Cayne Miceli death at New Orleans jail
~The father of a New Orleans woman who died after being put in restraints in a jail psychiatric unit is suing Sheriff Marlin Gusman and several of his staffers.
The federal suit filed Thursday says 43-year-old Cayne Miceli had a history of asthma, panic attacks and depression but was denied adequate medical care after she arrived at the jail in January 2009.
"It's hard here, don't get me wrong...
and even the people doing well are apt to be busted broke,
but I think the lack of money is like a great equalizer that existed
even before the storm and it's more true than ever now:
A LOT of respect is paid
and a LOT of value is placed
on what you can DO
rather than what you can buy...
and everything good that comes back is celebrated...
You can dance with your whole body here
and everyone approves and from babies to old folks,
if they can stand up they will dance with you :)"

"It denuded all of the wetlands that act as a natural surge buffer. The channel grew three times its original design. They didn't take proper precautions along the levees," Schultz said.

Levees Proving Less than Reliable to the North WA
Readiness & Survival in an Uncertain World: 3 Things You Can Do to Prepare Right Now!
~General Russel Honore', the commander in charge of the post-Katrina recovery, suggested that the most important lesson we should have taken from the Katrina disaster is that we have, as a population, lost our ‘survival’ instincts.
In a pre-world war II society, argues Honroe’, Americans maintained a ‘culture of survival’ where independence, self-sufficiency and rainy-day preparation were simply a way of life. Long term food and water storage and collection, along with essential survival tools and skills were commonplace in those days; people were realistic enough to know that in a severe emergency, they would have to rely upon themselves, not FEMA.
In fact, FEMA didn’t exist, at least not in the form or function as it does today. Our complacency toward personal survival today, argues General Honroe’, has crippled us.

Who'dat!?~Canal St Chronicles
~ "Right now, what's heartache for me ... when you walk off that field and you've got guys out there playing their balls to the wall, and you've got folks in the stands screaming and hollering, 'Y'all (expletive) suck,' you know, you don't do that," Grant said.
"This team has worked harder than anybody I've been around for eight years. This group of men in the locker room, they work hard in the offseason. They do everything to be accountable to each other. Hey, look, we're 13-2 right now, we've still got a chance to go to Carolina and be 14-2.
The New Orleans Saints ain't never been 14-2.
"I mean, we know what we have to do as a team. But stuff like that ticks people off. Players don't want to hear that after they got out there and played over a 60-minute ball game.
Don't be a bandwagon (fan). Don't jump on and jump off. Don't do that. That ticks me off."~Charles Grant
~Editilla Who'datellas~ Fuckin'A'Dat! Geaux Saints!
I don't even want to talk about all the crappy'doo and Boo'dat that was spewed upon da'Boyz BY OUR OWN GODDAMN FANS in the Sacredome and on the comments pages later last night. At one point I even forgot that this was a HOME GAME ---because I couldn't hear the Who'dats??? Such sudden disregard reminded me of that first week of the Flood in '05. We turned on each other with Nothing to save us from ourselves. That's how this feels.
We don't need that shit. We are better than that. And if y'all don't think you are an integral part of this team then move the fuck out of town, stay home, shut your trap. Go away, go to Hell.
Even dumb sports-challenged Editilla knows the difference between Pre and Post season, two completely different scenes, and I still BELIEVE we could win the Super Bowl! WHO'DAT!

Arkansas Lawmakers say levee data key for plan to avert catastrophe~Rob Moritz
~When excessive rainfall caused a breach in the old Skaggs Ferry levee system along the Black River in late March 2008, hundreds of acres of farmland upstream from Pocahontas flooded.
Randolph County Judge David Jansen initially thought it was the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ responsibility to fix the break, but he soon determined that a levee district board was in charge of maintaining the eight-mile stretch of levee along the Lawrence and Randolph county line. Jansen also learned that the board no longer existed. “In the late 1960s or early 70s, the board members, they got tired of getting chewed out, basically, by the Corps of Engineers for not maintaining or operating the levee district, so they just quit,” he said.
Worried that the same scenario could play out across the state, with disastrous results, the Legislature this year adopted legislation requiring an accounting of the status and funding of each levee district in every county.
