Katrina redux

One year ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated the Southern Gulf Coast. Today, we're treated to all the major media outlets going down there, shooting video, recording interviews, posting photos and blogging about how sad the state of affairs is down there.

I heard that we are spending a billion dollars a week in Iraq. Billion with a "B". You and me. Our money. We're the ones spending it.

Can you imagine what New Orleans and Biloxi would look like today if we has spent one billion dollars a week on rebuilding the hurricane-stricken South?

Are we getting our money's worth?
