Katrina coverage out in the world
A few high profile pieces in that part of the progressive blogosphere not based in New Orleans, doncha know.
Nancy Scola of MyDD pens the first of three comprehensive pieces about the state of things in New Orleans, and also is interviewed for about 20 minutes on the April 29 edition of MyDD Blog Talk Radio (her segment starts at about 13:00). Her writing is thoughtful and accurate; she gets it.
There is also a great piece on DailyKos written by ACORN volunteer coordinator Mary Rickard about last month's First Draft Krewe work day. The DK powers-that-be even deigned to elevate it to the status of a "rescued" diary, so apparently prog-blogger Katrina fatigue has taken the week off. Either that or we're the temporary beneficiaries of their Iraq fatigue. Either way, the coverage helps.

The commenters at Kos are about 75% New Orleanian. There are a few Amerikans on there, but most of them are us.
I'm very thankful for those Amerikans that comment. But they're few and far between.
