If Louisiana AG Charles C. Foti, Jr. can second guess the decisions of medical personal in an unimaginable crisis during the Deluge, then he damned well better get busy working the cases of more than 1,500 who died when the Federal levees failed, or be charged himself as an accomplice to murder.

Interesting. My husband and I have talked about this from Day 1. Okay, Day 10 actually, by the time we got our breath.

Makes sense to me. Not to change the subject, but, while we're at it, can we get Cardinal Bernard Law back from his suite in the Vatican and put him on trial for conspiracy to commit child sexual abuse?
