Where's Tom and his stick when we need him?
Well, perhaps Blogger has calmed itself to the point where I can post...anyway, I was wondering if the big shots and assorted punditry might find it worthwhile to examine the snails pace of Gulf Coast progress on some sort of, oh, I don't know, regular basis?
Folks like Scout are--and here's what she's finding. Short version: calling it "a snail's pace" would indicate some sort of activity.
Meanwhile, Think Progress has a rather comprehensive timeline.
The New York Times looks at small businesses struggling to survive--some successfully, others not--while their interactive has a few more neighborhoods in focus.
For those wanting to compare and contrast with Mississippi, well, here's a sobering article I found over at FDL. It's a reminder that a large swath of the Gulf Coast suffered the wrath of Katrina...and Rita...while New Orleans suffered from the NEGLIGENCE of the federal government (yes, there is a difference, although that shouldn't in any way affect the degree of response).
Mr. Friedman--perhaps you'd like to weigh in?
