The Big Easy
Via Steve at The News Blog, if you know anyone displaced from New Orleans, let them know about http://www.DemVote.org/, a site that can help them vote in the coming election. All of the information they need at one place put together by Democrats Abroad, an ex-pat organization that helps Americans vote when they live overseas.
Via Scout at First Draft, a PBS NewsHour video link on why we need to rebuild the levees, unless you think we don’t need to a quarter of our refineries and domestic oil and gas production.
Of course, there’s also the little thing about New Orleans being the port for exporting everything produced along the Mississippi River basin, as well as the importing of coffee.
Update: The guys and gals of 3 Old Men have taken a break from building in Georgia to build in Jackson, Mississippi with Habitat for Humanity.

Importing coffee? Oh my God, why aren’t we doing more to rebuild New Orleans!!!?? Can’t they see how impotant this is to our national survival!!????
John, I have had to use a different brand since the hurricane, because, apparently, my favorite was sitting in the warehouses that were flooded. Even Maxwell House is in short supply.
Next a tornado will take out the original Coca Cola plant in Atlanta and the real “real thing” will be gone.
