Two years after Hurricane Katrina broke down levies which destroyed New Orleans, there still has not been significant progress made.  What's the hold up? Pick an issue. People today still argue about who's to blame for all the mishaps during and after.  This episode tries to put the timeline in perspective.

It all began on this day, August 26 2005, when federal assistance was first requested by all of the gulf coast states.

Thank you again, all you fellow podcasters.  It's a wonderful feeling to be acknowledged for your hard work and efforts.  It shows it isn't just merely a popularity contest based on how many fans a show has and how many times you remember to vote. Quality vs. quantity.  I'm truly grateful.
