Some good news -- my mother's car is largely okay and has been retrieved from New Orleans with nothing worse than a flat tire. My grandparents' house had a little bit of water, but nothing terrible, and most of my other relatives who live in Jefferson Parish made out okay.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, Dana. That's great news! Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Excellent news, Dana.

Well, I don't see anything wrong with acknowledging one of the companies that stepped forward first, probably encouraging a lot of others to do the same. Especially in the absence of any federal activity worthy of note.
Oh, I definitely think that the company did some great things, and that $15 million donation is a wonderful amount, especially in light of the fact that they have to answer to their shareholders. However, the family donation of $8 million is what the ThinkProgress people are questioning, especially Bush41's praise of them. I'm guessing we're not going to be hearing much praise from the same quarter when Gates/Hollywood/other wealthy liberal Democrats start ponying up the big bucks.
