What it means to lose New Orleans

Vampire novelist Anne Rice on the cultural devastation of losing NOLA. Lenin's Tomb on the sudden humanity of America's mainstream reporters (Geraldo crying?! Kanye West talking shit about Bush?!). Weird new blog Organic Warfare on Katrina Chernobyl.

Note: I've a cousin living in coastal Alabama. She reports that local authorities told them to conserve gas as they wouldn't receive any for two weeks, which has prompted fights at the pumps and outright theft.

Is this really as bad as it seems? Today I was listening to some guy from NO in Detroit talk about this, I couldn't help but thinking if it was that bad. He was talking as if the world was going to end.

it depends on where you get your evidence for how it "seems". meaning, don't buy the mainstream news as the only perspective -- DIG!
