Facing South has a flashback to their Katrina coverage of a year ago. Watching the narrative unfold in real time is painful, but worth while -- other good Katrina stuff further down the page.
For New Yorkers, rumors of a benefit dinner at Jaques-Imo's, with 100% of the proceeds funding relief efforts. If you prefer your milk of human kindness at full strength, this is worth checking out. Please chime in with what you are doing at home, or out, wherever you are. Even if it is listening to "Hey Now Baby," on repeat and drinking a case of Jax beer, please take some time out of your day to consider the past and the future of the Gulf. 
And while you are out picking up your supplies, won't you please register to vote? Katrina was a natural disaster, but a natural disaster made worse by big and small political decisions. We can do better.
For your to the registration place, a little Professor Longhair.
