I love Jimmy Breslin for his piece today in Newsday:

NY Newsday OpEd

I also love Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu and NOLA Mayor Ray Nagin for their firey speeches in DC and NOLA, respectively.

Never before has the disparity between rich and poor, and black and white been so plainly and painfully illustrated in this country as in the Katrina aftermath. And the rest of the world has been observing this fiercely. In today's Times comes this bit about this inequity right here in Manhattan

In Manhattan the Poor Make 2¢ For Each Dollar To the Rich

I also just heard that The Ursuline Convent, a very old and ghost-ridden building on Chartres Street in The Quarter, which some of you may be familiar with, sustained very serious roof and water damage. Very sad.
