SO for those of you that read me regularly...all 3 of you...you know that I usually am not into posting about current events, news, politics, and the like. It is mostly because I am married to a government teacher, who is also a wannabe politician, and a news ADDICT!! He always watches CNN, which I don't mind, but the last week has been NOTHING but Katrina coverage!! I am not saying that they don't need coverage. I will agree that this is the worst natural disater in our country in my lifetime, and I am absolutely embarrassed at the incompetency of our Federal government. It's just plain sad and ridiculous. The search and rescue effort has not even gone close to Chalmette, where my brother used to live. His wife is in Bilouxi. Her company travels to different places after disasters and helps in clean up. She spent a lot of time in Florida last year, and will be in Mississippi and Louisiana for a while now. She said that to see it first hand is just incredible. There are so many people stranded...so many people without a home...and I am just soo thankful that they don't live there anymore. We are still trying to get in touch with people we know down there, as so many people are. For anyone reading this...no one is being let in or out of St Bernard's Parish. The place has been declared a complete loss. I can't stand to think about it.
And all I want is for my husband to change the damn channel.
