Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Silence means security silence means approval
More press conference fun.
Senator Vitter: New Orleans will "absolutely" be rebuilt.
Nothing against the many, many people who have lost everything in NOLA, but a certain scene from Holy Grail keeps coming to mind.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But they weren't walking. They were running. And there was a door to stop the weather once they reached it.
And then, and then, they slammed the door in its face!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Frost is totally weather!
But it's a whole different weather vibe than a hurricane. It's a different temperature and everything.

It's still got water in it. I don't see how they can possibly be different.

What is even happening?
Frost is much colder. It's much slower. It's lower down. Do we need to send you back to Michigan for a refresher course on frost, ita?
Partly for selfish reasons because I will never get a chance to visit NO as it was
Like you Maria, I'm mostly just horrified and heartbroken because of the tragedy, but I have to admit, there's a small bit of "I'll never get to see it" in there, too. A lot of people I've talked with though, those who've been there, and those who haven't, feel the same.
