While everyone else is Katrinaing, I'm ordering Romaine w/1000Island, Seafood Combo, Creme Brule (they spell it 'brele'), and Three Iced Teas, as I'm sleepy and have hours of work and a 6am wake-up call.

Echoing the official assurances, CBS News reported: "Even though more than a third of Mississippi's and Louisiana's National Guard troops are either in Iraq or supporting the war effort, the National Guard says there are more than enough at home to do the job."

My first thought on learning about the coming Katrina was "oh no, there's going to be lots of conservatives accusing liberals of opportunism for pointing out our 'National Guard' is on the other side of the World hijacking another nation instead of at home where they could help our nation". I haven't actually seen any yet, but then I haven't had time to look.
