If you haven't yet read Jim Rittenhouse's 8-part synthesis on the NOLA disaster...

[doc_strange]

You can start here.

Jim takes a lot (a lot) of information and pulls it together into a remarkably coherent discourse on the causes, time-lines, and fallout of the many factors that brought New Orleans to disaster. It started well before Katrina, and it's hardly done yet.

Seriously, give it a read. All 8 parts.

Dude I'm late for work!

Seriously, I need my own place and an alarm clock.

Wow. Mind if I steal the link?

I knew he had it in the works; the finished piece is staggeringly apt.

I said it in my own journal and I'll say it here: the current Bush administration needs to be impeached now for crimes committed against US citizens.

I've read the first few parts, and I am underwhelmed. It's just a re-hash of the attempts to shift blame to the Bush administration, along with the stunning it's-the-fault-of-the-war-in-Iraq song that's being sung everywhere.
