How stupid?

• Please see this post, and comments, and the post linked therein, for more highly intelligent and civilized discussion by Sacamano and Mapmaster about the lessons of Katrina.

• A must read for anyone interested in the whole disaster discussion is this Reason piece by Jesse Walker. Fantastic, and unexpectedly, uplifting.

• Non-Katrina point: this is why I'm glad I have confidence in the Flames coach. Check out this quote from Angels superfan and blogger Rev. Halo (ÞWelch):

If you are Mike Scioscia's daughter, stay out on prom night and tell dad you were at church - tonight's game proves he is stupid enough to believe you.
