Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted by the horrible catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina. As one of the wealthiest and most advanced nations, we will pull together and make it through this tragedy. God willing, Cafe du Monde and Bourbon Street will be bustling again in a few months.

YOU KNOW IT'S BAD WHEN...individuals are profiting off of imitation Red Cross solicitations.

YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY BAD WHEN...Wal-mart closes. Oh crap.
