Another thought

Why is it that the crappy local and state government, that the people of New Orleans are responsible for, is overlooked in all this tear-jerker coverage of the place post-Katrina? It's not that I don't feel sorry for them, and want them to come back, etc., but it's a bit much. If Philadelphia suffered a similar natural disaster, the outcome would probably be similar, save possibly for a better response from the Commonwealth government.

But what fun is wallowing in misery if you can't score anti-GOP points?
