A cyclone four days earlier had destroyed a large portion of Myanmar, and the country’s military junta was still refusing humanitarian aid. “Let the United States come to help you, help the people,” Bush pleaded with the junta. “We’re prepared to move U.S. Navy assets to help find those who’ve [...]

Something that I have been thinking about posting, is the fact that “a U.S. Federal court declared that Cajuns were protected from discrimination by federal law.” I mentioned something to other people before, but this is now something to bring out in the after effects of Katrina.

This blogger highlight comes from a fellow Louisiana blogger. Rob at Realitique has a few things to say about those touched up photos.
