Hurricane Stories the Corporate Media Won't Tell

Two good Hurricane Katrina diaries at dKos:

Patricia Taylor asks where are the Louisiana National Guard?  Of course we know where they are. 

MsLibertarian remembers that BushCo cut Hurricane projects in New Orleans:

""I've been here over 30 years and I've never seen this level of reduction, said Al Naomi, project manager for the New Orleans district. I think part of the problem is it's not so much the reduction, it's the drastic reduction in one fiscal year. It's the immediacy of the reduction that I think is the hardest thing to adapt to. There is an economic ripple effect, too. The cuts mean major hurricane and flood protection projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms.  Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from a Category 5 hurricane has been shelved for now.""

I loved this diary just for it's title: Today's PDB: Climate Change Determined To Strike Within U.S.

How many cities will have to be flattened before any journalist mentions "Global Warming"? Man and we thought the Arabs were pissy for 9-11 just because of a couple of million dead Iraqi and Palestinian children. You fuck with mother nature and you really get some "blow back".
