"It was discovered by FEMA that the same keys can open many of the 118,000 trailer homes being used by Gulf Coast hurricane victims."

Spike Lee compared the devastation he saw while filming a documentary on Katrina in New Orleans to what Hiroshima must have looked like.

I'm not exactly surprised anymore by what happened, the gross incompentence, the negligence by the President. It can't be called surprise. It's long since stopped being amazement. It's even moved beyond sadness. There's just a numbness. Each new story, even a year later, there are still new stories, new wretched things happening.

I talked to a woman the other day who spent a week gutting houses last January in Louisiana. At first, it was alarming that it got to be January and things were still abandoned, molding and putrefying. It's not alarming anymore. It's just fact.
