Dear ***,If that thing ends up tracking just a hair -- and I mean just a hair -- westward of the dead-center forecast, and if it comes in as a Category Four, New Orleans will be obliterated. If it comes in dead center of the forecast track, it will be bad enough, but probably not 20-feet-of-water-in-the-city bad.
Ray Nagin and Kathleen Blanco had better get off the pot. They only have two days -- they need to start getting the poor and the elderly out while there's a chance in hell of doing so. Set them up in shelters in Hammond, Baton Rouge and Lafayette -- all the arena-sized places they can get. The National Guard needs to be starting on that today.
If you keep rolling the dice, figuring "Naw, it CAN'T get THAT bad," sooner or later, you'll crap out. Besides -- and this isn't exactly the Scientific Method, but what the hell -- I think this country has reached a level of depravity and extreme materialism where God is going to keep getting more and more drastic in an effort to get our attention.
Like I said yesterday, you saw the headline here first:
Big Easy's last dance:
Katrina and the waves
And I was only half joking about sending Jonah to Bourbon Street.
