Some Interestng Katrina Links
But first, a mini-rant: Why is it the same people that accuse the federal government of prying into people's private lives in terms of things like abortion and same-sex relations act like that same federal government has an obligation to forcably remove people from their homes in the event of a natural disaster? I am getting really sick and tired of this stuff...
Hugh Hewitt paid me a very nice compliment last night because I took him up on his very excellent suggestion. I have begun working with my church to partner with JJ White Memorial Presbyterian Church (link broken at publication time, unsurprizingly) in McComb, Mississippi. McComb escaped the worst of the damage from Katrina, but was pretty heavily damaged nonetheless and will be the perfect staging ground for reaching both New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast -- it's about 45 minutes to a hour from each when the highways are in decent shape. Tod Bolsinger and Hugh have more detail on that great longer term idea.
Dadmanly is linking to special resources for military folk.
Mark Steyn looks at local government in Louisiana.
Finally, I have to link to this because it explains so much, and is at the same time, somehow sadly funny. From WorldNetDaily

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said he's feeling better about his city, he feels confident he has gotten the attention of Gov. Kathleen Blanco and President Bush, but he said he fears the Central Intelligence Agency may take him out because he's been yelling at these officials.Now remember, the city elected someone with those delusions -- I think the picture is starting to come together, don't you?
He didn't say it once. He said it twice.
Last night he told a reporter for the Associated Press: "If the CIA slips me something and next week you don't see me, you'll all know what happened."
Today he told interviewers for CNN on a live broadcast he feared the "CIA might take me out."
