A tad off subject but answers your question about our Government having anything to do with our weather.On March 13, Bush reversed his previous position, announcing he would not back a CO2 restriction using the language and rationale provided by Barbour. Echoing Barbour’s memo, Bush said he opposed mandatory CO2 caps, due to “the incomplete state of scientific knowledge” about global climate change.
Now we are all learning what it’s like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged. Our destructive addiction has given us a catastrophic war in the Middle East and--now--Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children.

So the idiots were their own worst enemy in multiple ways.This series of accidents that blocked our way made it really, really difficult.
The arrival of disaster relief expert “Heineken Looter Guy” late Thursday afternoon gave hope to many that assistance would soon be on the way. Since his exceptional work in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, HLG has become the standard by which all potential disasters are now measured.

Katrina was a CAT-3 hurricane when it hit New Orleans. I used to live in FL and road out about 3 CAT-3 hurricanes in my day. They are bad enough but typical damage was from fallen trees and flooding. FLOODING!blazinlow89 said:Its said that they rate hurricane katrina the worst hurricane in history due to damage. Im not saying it wasnt bad cause it was, but im sure there where stronger ones that have hit else where that didnt do as much damage since they didnt hit such a densly populated area.

Where will he show up next?"... One minute I’m shoveling twelve feet of snow out of my driveway, the next I’m booking a room for an all expense paid cruise to the Caribbean on the government’s nickel. Thanks for the love Heineken Looter Guy!"
http://neworleans.metblogs.com/archives/2005/10/the_beer_looter.phtml...It filled me with a great sense of pride. To me, this picture more than any other displayed the true down-but-not-out spirit of New Orleans. The caption suggests the man was a looter, which may or may not be true. While it's certainly possible he pilfered those beers from a corner store or bar, it's equally likely that he rescued them from his fridge and was simply commuting to drier environs in order to consume them. Regardless, this guy gave me hope. He embodied the best qualities of New Orleans, the insistence upon having a good time at all costs, the essence of mardi gras, of throwing all cautions into the wind. If I wrote the caption for that photo, maybe it would have said "laissez les bon temps rouler"....
