You know what?

Michael Hooks Sr. has been indicted in the latest Tennessee Waltz scam, and I could care less.

I could care less about that DLC shill Rusty's latest comments. You know what, Rusty, I don't care, I'm still for Kurita.

What everyone should be focused on is what has become the greatest natural disaster to hit this nation since, arguably, the New Madrid Earthquake. The governor of Louisiana has ordered the entire evacuation of the city of New Orleans. The president of neighboring Jefferson Parish says you may come back in a week, but only long enough to get essentials and clothing, and then leave and not return for ONE MONTH.

We haven't even begun to talk about the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where 80 people are reported dead in Hancock County alone.

Daily Kos has a diary where you can donate to several different groups assisting in the relief effort; I hope that you will go there now and give what you can.

Hurricane Katrina is a cataclysmic event multiple times larger than 9/11. Metropolitan New Orleans, 1.3 million people, has been destroyed. Not to mention all the people in Mississippi, Alabama, and the Louisiana. It is horrific and almost beyond comprehension. Give to the Red Cross.

I heard Barbour speak on Monday and he said that he thought Hurricane fatigue had set in.

Last year, they were told to evacuate for Ivan, and it went through Pensacola. Then, this year, they evacuated for Dennis and it went through Mobile and Pensacola. A lot of them, sadly, despite projections to the contrary, thought it would miss them again and they would just ride it out,

For a lot of them, they won't have to make that decision again, or any other decisions, for that matter.....
