Hurricane Katrina - Another firsthand account

So I found a great firsthand account from two katrina refugees about how terribly the situation is being handled on the ground. I'll reserve my comments for later when I have something constructive to say.

Val Kilmer tagging caper returns

It's been a while since anyone had mentioned the VKTC , but I thought I'd bring it up. In my last foray into the beautiful metropolis that is Toronto ( with another author of this blog) I noticed that there're still a lot of val kilmer tags around. So for those of you who missed the boat, or have just forgotten here's a rundown of the caper . Personally I'm all for it, espescially the band members' pseudonyms (all characters from val kilmer movies), now I just need to get a hold of one of their albums to see if they're any good.

Blog-o-scape sullied once more

I wholeheartedy accepted my invitation here to spread my opinions like so much spongy, sweet, and distinctly evil marshmallow fluff over the peanut butter sandwich that is this blog. I plan on bringing the aftertaste that you enjoy but feel wrong about liking.

I thought for my first post here I'd jump in on the whole Katrina discourse. Why wasn't the country better prepared for this? I mean New Orleans is below sea level, and hurricanes hit the gulf coast. Shouldn't there have been more of a plan and a faster way to recover, espescially given our dependancy on the oil refineries there? But amidst all the tragedy ( all kidding and ranting aside this is really awful) and confusion, all I can think about is this guy who used to stand on bourbon st with a big sign asking everyone to repent while he yelled that god's wrath would come if we didn't clean up our acts... I wonder if he belives he was right.
