We shouldn’t forget that a major American city is still functioning in the third world, and that thousands of our citizens are barely coping as they wrestle with insurance companies, roll the dice with a levee system no better than it was pre-Katrina, and try to get back to normal life in a city where things will likely never be normal again.

I’ve written quite a bit about NOLA in my blog called Tennessee Crowbar Krewe.
