Not all the news is bad...

From the Gulf. This piece from the Houston Cronicle details how the many of the oil rigs in the Gulf are NOT damaged. Oil companies are smart enough to know that every day they don't pump, they lose big coin. That's why they won't be offline for long.

Loony Left

This piece from Robert Kennedy seeks to imply that the Republican Governor of Mississippi, Haley Barbour, is responsible for the Katrina Katastrophe. The lede:

As Hurricane Katrina dismantles Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, it’s worth recalling the central role that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour played in derailing the Kyoto Protocol and kiboshing President Bush’s iron-clad campaign promise to regulate CO2.

It goes on to quote a climatolgist that states that global warming is responsible for the severity of Katrina's impact.

As if monster hurricanes never happened before.
