I can’t help it. Here are the funniest things I’ve read about the NOLA disaster:
mark242 said: It has been 48 hours since the levee break. The FY2005 United States military budget was $420.7 billion dollars. Each and every one of those evacuees could be riding in 50-foot yachts with gold-plated bathroom fixtures and kobe beef steaks served to them on Ming Dynasty era flatware, each yacht individually delivered via C-130 airdrop within 2 hours of the first levee break, and it still wouldn’t make a dent in our total expenditure.
No, this is not a logistical problem. This is a red-tape-fuckup of astronomical proportions, the likes of which will haunt our country for years to come.

This guy says: One in ten stay, one in ten of those die, 30,000, total. Just in New Orleans. It’s really a very good little article.
This guy is on the ground, and blogging there.
And oh my God, check out this recent satellite image Zoom in. See where it turns to all water? Holy crap.
