THE CRESCENT CITY CRISIS

My good friend, Scott Carson, hopefully won't mind if I borrow his very eloquent words from his 'Blog.

"While we debate college football statistics and games, thousands of our brothers and sisters are homeless and without food or extra clothing. Folks, people are dragging around the dead bodies of their loved ones with them because they don't want to take a chance of losing the bodies. It's time for Jacket nation to step up and provide our support. I am encouraging everyone to give a small portion of your blessing to the American Red Cross (see link). There is a Blog Relief drive and bloggers everywhere are encouraging their readers to give. We should do our part.......... Every bit helps....... You know, they are saying that all they need is money right now. However, there is one thing you can do - pray. Pray for the people there and their safety. Pray for the children and infants and mothers. Just pray. If you don't pray, start now. Just do it..........."















This whole thing has been unbelieveable, a shock and awe of different, more strange, more drawn out proportions than perhaps the days of 9/11, which lasted seemingly an "instant" compared to this event. That wonderful city of culture, entertainment and the epitome of Southern class, New Orleans, will never be the same, if it exists at all.
