I have to agree with age234's post that Germany's environment minister's statements (regardless of accuracy) were completely ill-timed, mean-spirited, and inappropriate. Politics...makes me sick to my stomach.
One thing I would like everyone to remember, though...since a lot of news and discussion is tuned in on New Orleans...is that Biloxi, Gulfport, Pass Christian and that stretch of the coast is utterly wiped out.
Gov. Barbour did a recent news conference and basically said that from the coast in a few miles...it is all gone.
Not damaged...not sort of destroyed...but gone.
Gone.
That's a pretty tough word to hear.
