He's a little premature...

Watching the videos of the evacuation of New Orleans makes me really feel for the city and its inhabitants. Thank god some lessons have been learned from Katrina, even if the mopping up has been a disgrace (as was the behaviour of the powers that be when it happened). I hope that everyone is out - although I'm sure some are left behind, e.g. the poor and forgotten - and that the toll is zero this time. It's horribly creepy watching pictures of an empty city - like something out of Hollywood and yet more real and more terrifying than anything Hollywood could produce.

Although, I have to say - with TWO bridges over to the city, wouldn't it have been sensible to open them both? Or at least 1 and a half, not many people coming in, after all.

I don't pray, but my thoughts are with New Orleans today.

On a lighter note - I've done a "Bluffer's Guide to Gay Historicals" over at Lust Bites today. Come over and be silly with me, huh?
