The Times-Picayune weblog is posting breaking news on the Hurricane Katrina disaster. (Hat tip: NY Nana.)

Wal-Mart is opening their communications system to the public, to post messages to people affected by the disaster.

S. T. Karnick explains why attempts to link the storm to global warming are at best misleading, and at worst intentionally deceptive: Hurricane of Misinformation.

The creeps at the Guardian, predictably, are blaming the disaster on the War on Terror: Why city’s defences were down.

Another efficient group providing aid to victims: Jewish Federation Katrina Relief Fund.

We could jam in Joe's garage,
we didn't have no dope or LSD,
but a coupl'o'quarts o'beer,
would fix it so the intonation,
would not offend your ear.
