If anybody's wondering why I haven't posted on Hurricane Katrina, I...can't. I couldn't even look at the news when it was happening. I remember being glued to the TV on Boxing Day and seeing the same terrible images over and over. I couldn't say anything; I couldn't watch.

Other people can keep tabs on it much better than me, ostensibly Making Light, a highly political journal I've been reading since I first saw a link on Himself's journal about a year ago.
Some highlights:
White people find things, or are "shopping". Black people loot. Also, New Orleans police joined in the looting.
Links to check-in message boards where people can post notes on their status or search for loved ones.
The blog's opinion of Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and his statements on personal responsibility of those trapped in Hurricane Katrina.

Livejournals:

wicked_wish's articulations on the "socio-economics of disaster". A stunning rebuttal to Michael Brown's obnoxious statements.
A firsthand and very personal ongoing account by docbrite.

Also, Paypal, Amazon, Google, Yahoo and nearly every really big public site has a notice and a list of links encouraging people to donate.

One more: Bush administration STAGES photo shoot of Bush visiting relief "efforts" in New Orleans.

Sick, sick, sick.
