What's Going On?

What is going on in New Orleans? Who else finds this quote unsettling:

Nagin said he needs military troops to provide security and 500 buses to take people stranded by Hurricane Katrina out of the city.

There are people in New Orleans who are firing at rescuers with guns. They are looting stores. They are blowing up facilities. We are fighting ourselves in a national tragedy. Watch the video on CNN and you will see what I am talking about.

With that said, these people that I speak of are very very few compared to all that are down there. There are many people that need help still. Please keep sending donations to reputable charities for the aid of those victims (if you don't know of any you can check out a previous blog entry where I listed out a few).

Also, congratulations to those who participated in the telethon by KUTV2 news and X96 (and many more members of the Simmons Media Group) who raised over $550,000 in donations for the Red Cross. You can find the whole story on at KUTV2.com.
