Commentary on Katrina

There is so much to say about what’s been happening in the Gulf Coast and New Orleans regarding Hurricane Katrina, the levees breaking, and the government’s response. And I have my own personal feelings of loss in the face of such a huge tragedy.

But for the love of God, you must watch this video. Keith Olbermann of MSNBC calls it like it is.

I’m disgusted, horrified, saddened, heartbroken. I love that part of the deep south, lived in Baton Rouge for 2 great years, and became an adult there. It is unfathomable that no one knew this could happen. Unfathomable - because we, a bunch of librarians who know nothing of structural engineering, talked about it all the time.
