Hurricane Housing: FEMA = FUBAR

The money for long-term reconstruction of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast is nearly gone, gone, gone, and cruise-ship "residents" are suing to keep from being tossed over the side.

Is this what it's come to? Having to sue your own government to keep them from compounding their failure to protect your home in the first place? Man, it's like the Bizarro World Kelo vs. New London.

I have no doubt in my mind that the Big Easy is gonna rise again, but it's like the chick says:

Mardi Gras "is just a symbol of the fact that New Orleans is going to come back," said Stephanie Hall, 28, a city resident. "New Orleans has always done what it wants to do and it's gonna come back whether the country wants it to or not."

Let the good times roll.
