There's already been so many beautiful and moving things written on New Orleans, that I feel like my own contribution will be paltry in comparison. I could write about the rage I feel that about so many people left in a disaster area have waited for days for any food or water. Or the rage at what looks an awful like our President eating cake with John McCain while people were dying. (He should really read up on Marie Antoinette - she suggested something similar.) Or the despair and sympathy for the people who are suffering.
So here's a roundup of particularly moving stuff:
- Tony, as always, points out the bullshit where he sees it and refuses to back down.
- Stratfor reminds everyone about exactly how important New Orleans is to us.
- I just read an incredible story of heroism that's being portrayed as a criminal act.
- Condi had some fun in New York before hecklers forced her to do her job.
And before anyone tells me to get off my ass and do something rather than writing more about politics, just remember that I gave two years of life while you all got to see the last season of Angel. I'll donate when I can (payday's still a week away), and until then, I'll do what any other political science graduate does.
