Louisiana 1927

I suppose I should say something about what has been happening on the Gulf Coast these last 7 days. A Randy Newman song, which this post is titled after, has been surfacing in my head over and over again these last few days. I don't know what else to say. The whole thing is FUBAR and SNAFU. Relief has finally arrived after days of delay and now justified anger is setting in. Heads are going to roll for sure on this one. In Gulf Coast states, in the cities of those states and especially in the District of Columbia, heads are going to roll. They had computer simulations and studies for years that something like this would eventually happen and instead they slashed budgets and did nothing. Heads are going to roll. Shame on us.
