Dear Chris and LS readers,

Some additional info, and perhaps a small correction to the above comment. This isn't exactly CONTEXT ( or content). it's a list of basic resources... obviously well-constructed by a very experienced blogger... and should be considered a social obligation by people who run a media enterprise and who have such a wide readership, in such situations. Thank u Scott! very useful!

As far as Context... which is often frighteningly absent from most blog media in general, and LS "reporting" in particular.

Here's a list of contexts:

Hurricane Katrina was NOT a Natural Disaster, Watch THe Katrina Myth CLIP :
www.levees.org

Red Cross steals money from Katrina victims:
www.democracynow.org/2007/8/30/the_red_cross_ha...

FEMA, R. Cross, La.and US govt. officials should be facing criminal prosecution
resources anyone ??!

the hideous statistics of post-Katrina New Orleans:
http://counterpunch.org/quigley08252008.html

Alternative grassroots organizations + more info
where u can be of assistance to NOLA :
www.commongroundrelief.org/
www.troublethewaterfilm.com/content/pages/learn...

the Republicrats are fuckheads and cannot be trusted to serve the people:
www.indybay.org
www.submedia.tv

thanks for reading y'all,
mpeg

This is why I love laughing squid. They provide content. In a world were style has more weight than meaning I can look to site and find a resource that gives me context. Thank you Scott for having the grace to cover Gustav above Burning Man.
