Obama's New Katrina Recovery Bucks Less Than One Week's Worth of War in Afghanistan
~Patrick Martin~Last week's drive-by to New Orleans showed President Obama at his public relations worst, inviting comparisons to his predecessor in the White House. Obama lectured and insulted critics, compared concerned citizens of the ravaged city to “special interests,” and pleaded Constitutional impediments to delivering more federal aid.
It's hard to argue that electing a black president made much difference to the present and former black residents of the Gulf.

Should New Orleans Retreat Inland? Let's ask the Big Man in Da'Sky! ~When religious leaders, scientists and environmental campaigners from across the world meet to discuss something as controversial as the future of the Miss River, its delta and the city of New Orleans there are bound to be some cross words. (Editilla sees no pun intended of course)
Ahead of the conference about 50 delegates from Europe and Asia arrived in Memphis on Saturday with the task of educating and updating themselves about the Mississippi River.
First on the agenda was a multi-faith service at the Annunciation Christian Orthodox Church led by Metropolitan Nicholas, the Orthodox Bishop of Detroit.

Barb Johnson rebuilds her Mid-City neighborhood in stories
~Susan Larson~For 20 years Barb Johnson was a carpenter. It's a lovely thing to sit across a table from a woman who's been building and rebuilding her adopted hometown, recycling architectural pieces from one house to another and leaving little notes in the walls, signs that she's been there, done that work. It's nice to think of the spirit of building, little bits of writing being spread all over the place, to be discovered in a wall or a baseboard, like some time capsule for the future.

Fargo flood plan meeting packed

Joann Lawrence of south Fargo said she wants to see a diversion, and not the economy size, either.
“Do it right the first time,” she said. “Go big.”
Mary Nelson lives in Sunrise Acres north of West Fargo. “What I’d like to hear is that the diversion is the way to go,” Nelson said. She said flooding in her area this spring meant six weeks of no mail, no garbage pickup, and walking through water in hip waders. “I would like to have the whole area protected, north, south, east, west. Whatever it costs,” Nelson said.
